Cleanroom Particle Counter Selection Guide: Accurate Monitoring, Efficient Decision Making
Cleanrooms are key links in the fields of precision manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, semiconductor processing, etc. , and their cleanliness directly affects product quality and production safety. Real-time monitoring of cleanliness levels (such as Class 100 and Class 1000 in ISO 14644-1 standard) is inseparable from the core equipment - dust particle counters. However, there are many types of particle counters on the market . How to choose the most suitable instrument according to actual needs? This article will analyze the selection strategies of online, desktop and handheld dust particle counters from three aspects: application scenarios, performance characteristics and applicable models .
1. Online dust particle counter: continuous monitoring, the best choice for system integration
24/7 non-stop monitoring : Designed specifically for cleanrooms that require real-time data feedback, it can be fixedly installed at key points to automatically collect and transmit data to the central system to meet stringent standards such as ISO.
High integration : supports temperature and humidity monitoring and alarm functions, equipped with multiple communication interfaces such as RS485, WiFi, Ethernet, etc., and can be easily integrated into the factory intelligent management system.
Low labor cost : No manual intervention is required, reducing the frequency of spot checks, suitable for large clean rooms or automated production lines.
Pharmaceutical sterile workshops, electronic chip production lines, and other environments have extremely high requirements for cleanliness and require long-term stable monitoring.
Online dust particle counter: SDS039-C, SDS3901, SDS3906, SDS3907 .
2. Desktop particle counter: efficient sampling, flexible response to diverse needs
Sampling flow rate 28.3 L/min : shortens the detection time, especially suitable for rapid detection in high cleanliness level (such as Class 10 , Class 100 ) environments .
Multifunctional configuration : equipped with touch screen, printer and IoT platform, supporting real-time data analysis, storage and remote management, taking into account both independent use and system integration.
Flexible and mobile : Compared with online particle counters, desktop particle counters are high-end instruments with built-in batteries, no wiring required, and easy transfer . One device can achieve full workshop coverage monitoring.
Clean room acceptance, periodic inspection or multi-point sampling inspection, such as biological laboratories and optical device workshops.
Desktop dust particle counter: SND1303.
3. Handheld laser particle counter: portable and economical, a great tool for daily inspections
Lightweight and flexible : It can be held in one hand , supports one-key sampling , and the screen displays data in real time and can be uploaded to the PC, making it easy to complete daily inspections and emergency problem troubleshooting and analysis .
Cost-friendly : Low initial investment, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budgets or temporary monitoring needs.
Multi-function integration : built-in temperature and humidity sensor, alarm function, can be connected to a Bluetooth printer , real-time printing without manual recording .
It is more suitable for daily inspections in low-level clean environments (such as Class 1,000 and Class 10,000) or rapid testing in small clean rooms.
Handheld dust particle counter: SDS039-C-H.
