Description
Particles Plus 1000 series personal sampling pumps are ideal for a wide variety of personal air sampling applications. They are small in size, simple to use, easy to operate, they weigh only 0.70 lbs and they provide a flow range between 1000 to 3000 ml/min. The Particles Plus 1000 series allows for constant flow correction even with changes in ambient temperature and barometric pressure through ultra-quiet rotary vane vacuum pump technology.
The easy to read LED display provides accumulated sampling volume and a battery conservation mode after 30 seconds of idle use allowing for over 30 hours of continuous sampling. The power switch allows for easy operation including continuous sampling, volume reset and battery conservation mode, with the push of a button.

Personal sampling pumps are crucial tools in dust and environmental monitoring. Some of their common uses include:
Occupational Health Monitoring
- Dust Exposure: Personal sampling pumps are used to measure the concentration of dust in the air that workers breathe. This is crucial for industries like mining, construction, and manufacturing where dust levels can be high
- Chemical Exposure: They help monitor exposure to airborne chemicals and particulates that can impact worker health over time
Compliance with Regulations
- Workplace Safety Standards: Personal sampling pumps are used to ensure compliance with occupational safety regulations, such as those set by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) or similar organizations in other countries.
- Environmental Regulations: They help businesses meet environmental regulations by monitoring the levels of pollutants released into the atmosphere
Environmental Monitoring
- Air Quality: Used to assess air quality by sampling particulate matter, including PM2.5 and PM10, which are important for understanding environmental health impacts
- Pollutant Tracking: Helps in tracking pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous substances in various environments
Research and Development
- Scientific Studies: Essential in environmental and health research for collecting accurate data on airborne particles and pollutants
- Product Development: Involved in testing and validating the efficacy of dust control measures or new air filtration technologies
Emergency Response
- Incident Assessment: Used in emergencies, such as chemical spills or dust explosions, to assess the immediate air quality and potential health risks to responders and nearby populations.
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
- Workplaces and Homes: Helps in evaluating indoor air quality in various settings to ensure a healthy living or working environment.
Long-term Monitoring
- Chronic Exposure Studies: Provides data over extended periods to study the effects of long-term exposure to dust or pollutants on health.
These pumps typically consist of a portable device connected to a filter or collection media that captures airborne particles or vapors, which are then analyzed to determine concentrations and types of contaminants present.
