Description
Manufactured in the Netherlands by Oxility B.V, the NanoTracer XP is well known and widely used throughout the world. The NanoTracer XP is designed specifically for the detection of ultrafine and nanosized particles. Airborne ultrafine and nanoparticles pose a recognized threat to hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. When inhaled they are deposited deep in the lungs, where they can lead to respiratory problems and other illnesses.
Present in everything from vehicle exhausts, chemicals and tobacco smoke to emissions from gas cookers and industrial processes such as nanoparticle production and welding, these invisible particles can have a serious impact on our health and well-being. The NanoTracer XP is a hand-held monitoring device that enables real-time measurement of the total number and average diameter of airborne ultrafine and nanosized particles.

- Lung deposited surface area (LDSA) in um2 / cm3
Used in conjunction with standard optical particle counters (optional), the NanoTracer XP enables customers to measure particle concentrations from 10nm to typically 25um in size. This includes particles defined as ultra-fine particles, which are less than 100nm in size. This is particularly useful to many indoor air quality professionals, consultants, occupational hygienists and customers who want to measure potentially dangerous ultra-fine and nanosized particles indoors, outdoors, in the environment and workplace. Typical applications include however are not limited to:
- Diesel particulates
- Welding fumes
- Vehicle exhaust
- Wood smoke
- Bush fire smoke
- Industrial processes
- Airports
- Many others
NanoTracer XP
Compared to alternative sensing technologies, diffusion-charge devices have many advantages which include:
- Measurement is independent of orientation, enabling mobile monitoring
- Small and lightweight footprint, allowing personal monitoring
- No liquids or other consumables required
- Simple to operate, single button operation
- Continuous measurement in real-time
