Total Carbon Analyzer (TCA08)

TCA08 Total Carbon Analyzer is a revolutionary scientific instrument designed for air quality monitoring. It precisely measures suspended aerosol particles’ Total Carbon (TC) content, providing near-real-time data for environmental and research applications. Carbonaceous (OC + EC) matter is usually the largest contributor to PM2.5 mass. Conventional thermal analysis for the EC/OC content of aerosols gives data that is highly dependent on the thermal analysis protocol that is used: NIOSH vs. IMPROVE vs. EUSAAR. The Aerosol Magee Scientific TC-BC Method yields data that is in the ‘center’ of this range, but which can be related to primary reference standards. See also CASS or the following publication.

TCA08 is a rugged instrument suitable for laboratory and Air Quality monitoring applications. TCA-08 contains No Glass and requires No Gas.
