Overview

The patented (U.S. Patent No. 7,334,453) SKC Single-stage Personal Modular Impactors (PMIs) are designed for the highly efficient collection of PM10, PM2.5, or PM Coarse (_10-2.5). The samplers are easy to use with a removable filter cassette and pre-oiled impaction disc. PMI media changes are as easy as removing the filter cassette and replacing it with one already loaded with a 37-mm final filter. The 25-mm pre-oiled impaction disc mounts directly on top of the filter cassette and reduces particle bounce for high collection efficiency.

A 25-mm filter may be used as an alternative impaction substrate for gravimetric or chemical analysis of particles. The PMI Coarse model and the Coarse Ring accessory include a second filter cassette to allow collection of particles sized between 2.5 and 10 µm.
