MiniPCS particle counter

The miniPCS is a self-contained particle measurement system designed for demanding environments and field applications. Based on Mie scattering, it can detect and count particles ranging from 0.5 to 1,000 μm, even at densities exceeding 10,000 particles/cm³. Battery-powered, wireless, and requiring no external acquisition, it offers a turnkey, portable, and high-performance solution.

Thanks to its logarithmic differential amplifier and 14-bit digitisation, the miniPCS offers a wide dynamic range, high accuracy and immunity to variations in ambient lighting. Measurements are stored on an MMC memory card, and an integrated GPS allows each data set to be time-stamped and geolocated.

Technical specifications:

• Measurement of suspended particles from 0.5 to 1,000 µm
• Measurable densities greater than 10⁴ particles/cm³
• Mie scattering technology
• Standalone battery-powered system (no external modules required)
• On-board acquisition and storage, MMC card
• Integrated wireless transmission: remote triggering, lifetime monitoring
• On-board GPS for accurate location and time stamping
• Simple user interface via computer (display, configuration, export)

Application & integration:

• Air or environmental quality monitoring in urban, rural or industrial environments
• Studies of complex fluids, aerosols, dust or sprays
• Integration into mobile or fixed measurement systems
• Field campaigns or in situ scientific protocols
• Customised solutions available on request

The miniPCS is a patented sensor (US Patent No. 6,580,503) that combines reliability, mobility and accuracy, perfectly suited to projects where autonomy and compactness are essential.
