Scanning mobility particle sizer
Encyclopedia
A Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (abbreviated SMPS) is a spectrometer
and can measure particles from 2.5 nm to 1000 nm. They employ a continuous, fast-scanning technique to provide high-resolution measurements quickly and effectively. The particles that are investigated can be of biological or chemical nature. The spectrometer can be applied in situations like: air quality measurement indoors, vehicle exhaust pipes, research in bioaerosol
s, atmospheric studies, toxicology testing, etc.
Spectrometer
A spectrometer is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials. The variable measured is most often the light's intensity but could also, for instance, be the polarization...

Bioaerosol
A bioaerosol is a suspension of airborne particles that contain living organisms or were released from living organisms. These particles are very small and range in size from less than one micrometer to one hundred micrometers . Bioaerosols react to air currents and move quickly or slowly...
