Unmatched Versatility

Your Solair Particle Counter Can Do It All

Besides being the best portable in the market, the Solair can be connected to a manifold and used in a real time monitoring system. Add a Scan Air Pro filter scanning probe and do filter integrity testing. High pressure gas adapters allow you to do particle testing in ultra-pure gasses. Integrate environmental sensors and you have the world’s most versatile portable particle counter.

The SOLAIR incorporates our extreme life laser diode technology sensor to produce the industry’s longest laser diode life of 20+ year MTTF (based on continuous 24/7 operation).  Using a new, lighter extended-life battery and external AC adapter, the SOLAIR 3350 is even more portable. The SOLAIR features one of the industry’s best user interfaces (UI) to configure and operate the instrument with intuitive ICON-driven screens and menus that are simple and easy to learn and use.

The SOLAIR can store up to 3,000 records of particle count data from up to 8 particle channels and the configurable recipe database can store up to 50 recipes for sampling and reports.  All data can be quickly and reliably transferred to a computer, a Facility Monitoring System or a Building Automation System.  Secure data transfer (per 21 CFR Part 11) to a USB flash drive can be accomplished by using the Lighthouse secure data transfer feature and LMS Express or Express RT software to read it. Flexible communications with these instruments is made possible by the integrated Ethernet, RS-485, USB and USB flash drive interfaces.  SOLAIR  is designed, manufactured and calibrated to ISO 21501-4 to ensure particle-counting accuracy.
