Environmental Monitoring

with the ApexZ Airborne Particle Counter

 

Meet ApexZ: your ultimate partner in maintaining pristine cleanroom environments. This state-of-the-art airborne particle counter goes beyond simply measuring particles, giving you the confidence to manage your critical spaces with both precision and ease.

With its advanced laser technology, intuitive 7-inch touchscreen, and rugged, chemically resistant enclosure, ApexZ delivers reliable results in even the most demanding settings. You’ll move smoothly through your workflow thanks to features like hot-swappable batteries, flexible data views, and built-in compliance tools.

Simplified Sampling

Your data is only as good as your records. So ApexZ supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, with audit trails that log every action, user, and timestamp. You get multiple user and security levels, so only authorized folks can make changes. With storage for up to 10,000 samples, 2,500 locations, and 20,000 audit trail records, you’ll never have to worry about running out of space or losing track of what happened when.

Sampling should be simple, not stressful. The 7-inch multi-touch display puts all your data front and center, and the grid view makes it a breeze to see which locations have been sampled and which are up next. Color-coded indicators—green for done, blue for sampling, grey for to-do, orange for warnings, and red for alarms — help you keep track at a glance and avoid missed spots.

Portable and Powerful

At just over 7 pounds and with a compact footprint, ApexZ is easy to carry from room to room. It’s the smallest, lightest, and quietest portable particle counter out there, so you can move fast without making a scene or breaking your back.

No need to hover over the unit — just glance at the handle. Integrated status lights give you a 360-degree view of what’s happening, even from across the room. You’ll know instantly if everything’s running smoothly or if something needs your attention.

And you can forget about being tethered to a wall outlet. ApexZ comes with hot-swappable smart batteries that can run for up to 11 hours straight. Need more juice? Just pop in a fresh battery — no need to stop sampling. And if you’re in a rush, you can charge up to 80% in just 90 minutes. You can even run the unit on a single battery while charging the other externally, so you’re never left waiting around.

A Sealed Suite of Diagnostics

ApexZ isn’t just another particle counter… it’s built to keep you confident in your results day in and day out. Its self-diagnostics system is always running in the background, checking the laser’s power, current, and supply, as well as monitoring airflow and sensor health. If anything’s off, you’ll know right away, long before it could impact your data. This means less downtime, fewer surprises, and more trust in your cleanroom monitoring.

We know that cleanrooms are tough on equipment, but ApexZ is tougher. Its sealed enclosure is rated IP54 and is chemically compatible with all the main disinfectants – including VHP, so you can wipe it down as often as you need without worrying about damage. The rotating exhaust nozzle keeps things flexible, and the whole unit is built to handle the demands of pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and other high-stakes industries.

Advanced Particle Monitoring for
Industrial Gas Applications

Discover how our advanced particle counters safeguard the integrity and efficiency of key processes by detecting particle contaminants in essential gases like Argon, Helium, CO2,  Nitrogen, and other inert gases. Ensuring the highest standards in industries from pharmaceuticals to semiconductors.

Contaminants in argon can affect its inertness, leading to unwanted reactions in processes where argon is used to create a stable, non-reactive environment. This is crucial in applications like shielding gases in welding or inert atmospheres in metal manufacturing.

Due to its small atomic size, helium is highly sensitive to particle contamination. Contaminants can affect its efficacy as a cooling medium in cryogenics and its purity in gas chromatography, impacting the accuracy and efficiency of these processes.

Particle contaminants in CO2 can affect its properties as a supercritical fluid, impacting its use in extraction and cleaning processes. In applications where CO2 is used for carbonation or as a refrigerant, purity is essential for both product quality and process efficiency.

Nitrogen is often used for creating inert atmospheres in various industries. Particle contaminants in nitrogen can introduce impurities into these processes, affecting everything from the quality of pharmaceutical products to the integrity of electronic components in semiconductors

In semiconductor manufacturing, impurities in ammonia can lead to defects in nitride films, affecting the performance of electronic devices. In chemical synthesis, contaminants can alter reaction pathways, leading to undesired products or yields.

Other Inert Gases Inert gases like neon, xenon, and krypton are used in specialized applications where their specific properties are crucial. Particle contaminants can alter these properties, thereby affecting the performance in applications like lighting, imaging, or as carrier gases.

Clean, stable environments are everything for EV Battery Manufacturing, and particle monitoring, humidity control, temperature monitoring, plus real time data and alerts all work together to keep that environment in the safe zone.

Data center equipment is sensitive to temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. Failure to monitor these can lead to hardware failure, data loss, and costly downtime

Semiconductor makers rely on airborne particle counters to keep cleanrooms pristine. Even the tiniest particle can throw off chip quality and production yield. That’s why every detail counts when building the world’s most advanced technology.

Environmental monitoring in aseptic pharmaceutical manufacturing involves regular testing of the air and surfaces in the cleanroom to detect the presence of any contaminants that could pose a risk to the production process.

Continuous air monitoring in Grade A cleanrooms means checking for live germs in the air the entire time critical work is happening-like setting up equipment or handling products-to catch any contamination risk right away and keep everything safe for patients

Real Time Monitoring Systems (RTMS) in Cleanrooms are a necessity for the monitoring and contamination control in many applications. From Semiconductor to Pharmaceutical products RTMS provide real time data records and notifications of any environmental out of tolerance conditions.

In cleanrooms classified ISO 5 or cleaner, compressed gasses pose a serious risk of particle contamination. Thus, monitoring compressed gasses for contamination is a critical portion of the contamination control plan.
