Characterisation of the Aerodynamic Aerosol Classifier Transfer Function for Particle Sizes up to 5 Micrometres by Simon D. Payne, Tyler J. Johnson, Jonathan P. R. Symonds

“…While this approach was previously used to characterise the AAC’s transfer function for particle aerodynamic diameters up to 2.4 µm using a nebuliser and a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC), the current study expands the AAC’s characterisation up to 5 µm using a condensation aerosol generator and an Optical Particle Counter (OPC). This upper size range is significantly higher than that offered by other common aerosol classifiers, such as the approximate 1 µm upper limit typical of the Differential Mobility Analyser (DMA), and it is well suited to many applications, including OPC calibration, bio-aerosols, drug delivery and inhalation studies, and atmospheric dust analysis. …”
