Aerosol Devices was formed around the primary objective of bringing to market advanced aerosol collector technology developed by one of the founders and hercreative team of scientists at Aerosol Dynamics Inc, Berkeley, CA. In the years since, prototypes have been developed to collect uninterrupted, time-resolved, concentrated samples of ambient aerosol particles in the field for chemical analysis in the lab. The commercial version of the collector has been available since March 2016. Aerosol Devices Inc. is having important impact on the science of collecting airborne particle samples for physical, chemical, and biological analysis. PRODUCT: The all new SPOT SAMPLER line of aerosol particle collectors provide pre-concentrated samples, with high collection efficiency spanning the size range from 5nm to 10µm diameter. The firm is using proven technology but apply ingit in a new way. Tiny airborne particles are enlarged by water condensational growth to form droplets, and deposited by gentle impaction onto a dry surface or into a small volume of liquid. The system has relevance in the fields of air quality, environment, air pollution, health effects, epidemiology, toxicology, workplace aerosols, bioaerosols, combustion, smoke, metrology, atmospheric science, cloud formation, ice nuclei, climate research, nucleation, sources, transport, controls, aerosol chemistry, aerosol physics, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, protein purification, nanotechnology, basic aerosol research. MISSION: Aerosol Devices Inc. offers superior aerosol measurement capabilities that advance scientific knowledge, which can lead to improving the environment, health, safety, and quality of life.
