Particle counters are used to count a certain type of particle in a variety of material types. Aerosol counters determine size and number of particles in the air and are often used to determine air quality or check clean rooms for contamination. Liquid counters count particles in liquid such as when analyzing drinking water quality or purity of aqueous drugs. Finally, solid counters measure dry particles and are often used to analyze protein aggregation or material quality in industrial labs.
Based on the type of material and the size of the particles being analyzed, instruments differ in the detection method employed. These methods include: light blocking or scattering, the Coulter principle which is based on changes in electrical impedance, and direct imaging. Choice of detection method will depend on the application the counter is being used for.

The new 10 μm Aperture allows users to study sub-cellular and micro-particles as small as 200 nm, while the advanced noise reduction system for small apertures improves measurement accuracy. Generated data are processed using patented digital pulse processing technology and can be saved and later re-analyzed. This technology provides ultra high resolution and accuracy unattainable through any other technologies: detection of 1 particle in 1 ml of a sample with the optimal instrument configuration. Analysis results are not dependent on particle shape, structure, or optical properties. It uses the Coulter principle to detect particles via electrical zone sensing, regardless of the particle’s nature or optical properties. This makes it an ideal tool for detecting and counting a wide variety of particles, such as: - Mammalian cells
- Bacteria
- Yeast
- Abrasives
- Toner particles
- Cell aggregates
- Spheroids
- Large protein aggregates
Features Versatility - Aperture sizes from 10 µm - 2000 µm in diameter for current & future needs
- Multiple aperture options & data overlay capability for analyzing complex samples over wide particle size distribution
Sample Detection - Analyze materials in aqueous or non-aqueous solvents
- Ideal for biological or non-biological samples
- Detect particles regardless of material type or optical properties
Rapid Particle Counting - Typical sampling rates up to 10,000 counts per second
- Detect & count particles from 0.2 µm - 1600 µm in diameter
- Sample volumes as small as 5 mL
Data Management - Digital pulse data can be stored & re-analyzed as needed
- CFR 21 Part 11 compliant software for audit control & security
- Variety of calibration beads & V-check validation controls

This helps reduce training requirements and sampling data errors/omissions. Accessed remotely via a web browser, features such as review/approve workflow, SOP version control and electronic record export are all in the counter – there’s no external software needed. Secure on-board searchable/filterable Audit Trail provides fast reporting during audits combined with Microsoft Active Directory for User Name and Password control for log-on and electronic signatures to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Features Customized Interactive Electronic SOP Maps Using a web-browser interface, load your SOP map into the counter, mark sample locations, and define SOP sampling requirements for each. Interactive Tracking Onscreen instructions help operators navigate your map and perform sampling according to the SOP. Location names turn green after sampling, making it easy to track progress at a glance. Electronic Records Straight from the Counter The MET ONE 3400+ can provide electronic records straight from the counter via USB, wired Ethernet or built-in WiFi. ...
