The Thermo Scientific Single Stage N6, Andersen Cascade Impactor (ACI) is a microbial, viable particle sizing sampler.
Product Detail
Developed in collaboration with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for the sampling and assessment of bioaerosols in the workplace.
The N6 Impactor is also referenced in particle sizing protocols set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
• Developed in collaboration with NIOSH
• Reference in EPA, OSHA and FDA particle sizing protocols
• Sharp cut point diameter
• High mass collection and verifiable flow rate
• Spring action retainer clamps for easy disassembly
and cleaning
• Consists of a single stage with 400 precision
machined jet orifices
• When the air is drawn through the sampler, multiple jets
of air direct any airborne particles onto the surface of the
collection plate
• Requires an exact flow rate of 28.3 lpm to achieve the
well documented sharp cut point diameter of 0.65 microns
• Comprised of an aluminum inlet cone, a jet stage
and a base plate
• Held together by three spring action retainer clamps
and sealed with o-ring gaskets
• The spring action retainer clamps allow for easy
disassembly and cleaning
• An optional carrying case is available and will accommodate
the impactor and Petri dishes as well as the vacuum pump
