Non-Viable Andersen Cascade Impactors
Non-Viable Andersen Cascade Impactor
The Tisch Environmental ambient non-viable Andersen cascade impactor is used to sample liquid and dry airborne particulates. The TE-20-800 is a multi stage orifice made of precision-machined aluminum stages with successively smaller hole diameters as the particulates cascade through the device. As a known volume of air pass through the stages, the the larger particles will “impact” on the surface of the impaction plate and the smaller particles will remain in the air stream and cascade through each successively smaller stage until eventualy they are impacted onto an impaction plate.
