The APS-400 series particulate sensor is a spore-trap style collection device with an integrated imaging and recognition system.
The system is designed to recognize particulates in the 1-100 micron range.
Requirements:
• A stable WiFi internet connection (5 megabit or faster speed-tested at the site) or ethernet cable
• Household power (110v AC or 220v AC) with a weatherproof extension cord and plugs
• A mount free from vibration
• An area with free-flowing air that is not subject to unique concentrations of particulates (ie, under a pollenating tree)
Aerobiologists review data feeds and work with software and data scientists to improve algorithms.
Patterns in the location and timing of particulates are finicky. Sensors and statistics help.
Sensors upload images to the cloud to be processed for counting and identification.
Automated airborne-particle sensors sample the air for dust, mold and pollen continuously.
Microscopes in our sensors create a digital image of actual particles. This process is automated.
