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.

We provide scalable Facility Monitoring Systems (FMS) that can be configured to meet a wide spectrum of cleanroom management needs for various industries—including pharmaceutical production. Among parameters that can be efficiently and reliably monitored using a Beckman Coulter FMS are non-viable/viable air sampling, differential pressure, air temperature and relative humidity. All of the company’s FMS solutions are based on an open-architecture platform designed to enable easy, streamlined integration with existing customer systems (SCADA). Each instrument is built around proven MET ONE technology, including the portable MET ONE 3400 series for routine monitoring and cleanroom classification, as well as the 6000 and 7000 series of fixed, non-viable air particle counters. MET ONE software platforms feature intuitive interfaces to help make them easy to use, thereby reducing the potential for human error that can occur with manual SOP monitoring. To avoid losses from product contamination, stack lights, audible alarms and process shutdown signals from a Beckman Coulter FMS can prompt an immediate production line response whenever an excursion happens. In addition, to help centralize reporting and simplify EUGMP/FDA compliance (e.g., for ISO 14644 and 21 CFR Part 11), Beckman FMS data can be integrated into a single-release, electronically signed paperless report. - Workflow-optimized, integrated solutions to monitor your cleanroom
