The Met One A2408 is a laser particle counter engineered for laboratory and cleanroom monitoring. It measures airborne particle concentrations across configurable size channels from 0.5 to 10.0 microns, delivering precise contamination control data in counts/ft³ and counts/m³. The instrument combines a long-life laser diode light source with electronic flow control, internal data storage, and optional connectivity for real-time monitoring and ISO 14644-1 compliance calculations.
