Portable Black Carbon Aethalometer AE43

Portable Aethalometer® Model AE43 measures light absorption with two wavelength suspended aerosol particles: 880 nm (IR), ‘Black’ Quantitative for carbon mass; and aromatic organic compounds indicating 370 nm (UV). The analytical performance of the device is the same as the Rack Mount Aethalometer® Model AE33, but it is built in a small portable case with a built-in battery that provides mobile operation for several hours. The portable Aethalometer can also be operated with cables from an AC transformer or an external battery or automobile outlet. This device is widely used for studying indoor air quality and mobile mapping of air quality effects of localized sources.

The portable Aethalometer can also be supplied with 7 wavelength light sources
