Air cleanliness monitoring is an important part of sectors that need strict environmental conditions, including but not limited to cleanroom monitoring, controlled environments, filter testing, compliance testing, process control, indoor air quality, HVAC applications, QA programs, etc.
To ensure the safety and efficacy of products manufactured in cleanroom environments, organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in Europe have set a series of standards to survey various parameters such as particle size, temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Cubic, the leading manufacturer of high-quality gas sensors and gas analyzers, recognizes the value of particle monitoring and is dedicated to providing comprehensive, safe, and efficient solutions to lithium battery, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and flat panel display sectors for particle monitoring, manufacturing process quality control, and production safety monitoring. The features and benefits of Cubic particle counters are mentioned below.

28.3LPM Optical Particle Counter
OPC-6510DS
Cubic optical particle counter OPC-6510DS was developed based on light scattering technology and could accurately detect particles of various sizes in a unit air volume. With a built-in unique laser particle counter sensor module, consistent RPM fan, and well-designed ultrasonic flow sensor, OPC-6510DS provides a stable and high flow rate of /minute gas sampling rate, which enables it to comply with ISO 14644-1 requirement.
Cubic OPC-6510DS can simultaneously output the particle number of 5 channels of 0.3 μm, 0.5 μm, 1.0 μm, 5.0 μm, 10 μm in pcs/28.3 L or pcs/m³ and supports 24/7 operation to ensure stable and continuous particle monitoring.
In addition to the core performance and features, a touch screen is developed for OPC-6510DS to display continuous monitoring data and cleanroom levels in real-time. The audible and visual alarm function is also designed as an on-site timely warning.
Moreover, Cubic OPC-6510DS could achieve online transmission of monitoring data based on RS485 ModBus and MQTT communication.
