Lasair® III Air Particle Counter

The Lasair III particle counter is versatile enough for mobile or remote use for a wide variety of cleanroom monitoring requirements and meets International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) 14644-1:2015 and ISO 21501-4.

Customers appreciate how easy it is to use and its adaptability for various applications.

Data is easy to access and analyse through a variety of options, including a local printout, which is downloadable via USB in a secure format or through the use of external software such as DataAnalyst or FacilityNet.

Power is provided to the unit through the use of onboard, hot-swappable batteries. Power can also be provided through the use of an external AC power source, which can simultaneously power the unit and charge the onboard batteries.

The Lasair III Portable Particle Counter accepts inputs from a wide range of environmental sensors through the four built-in 4mA-20mA inputs. Wireless network communications are made easy with an externally mounted wireless adapter, simplifying communications with network systems.
