Controllable and high-performance aerosol charging
Our Universal Charge Conditioner (UCC) gives precise control over particle charge without the compromises of conventional charging systems. Select bipolar, positive unipolar, or negative unipolar charging with high charge efficiency, low particle losses, and stable performance wherever measurements happens.

Universal Charge Conditioner (UCC-BE1)
Selectable charge control
The UCC offers selectable bipolar, positive unipolar, and negative unipolar charging with continuous adjustability between these modes, giving users more flexibility than conventional chargers limited to one or two charging modes.
Efficiency
The UCC delivers high charging efficiency with low particle losses, helping users preserve more of their sample without the dilution flows or high electric fields often used in conventional unipolar chargers.
Fast response
Achieves 95% of particle transmission in 20 seconds at 1.5 L/min, enabling accurate measurements during transient events and faster progression through testing matrices.
Field-ready
Designed for deployment, the UCC operates from a 5 V input using USB or a battery pack. Its bipolar ion source enables a long operating life with less maintenance, while avoiding regulatory burdens in the many locales that follow IAEA guidelines.
Accurate and reliable
The UCC produces known, stable charge across a range of conditions, combining the control of unipolar charging with the stability and ozone-free operation typically associated with bipolar charging.
Why charge conditioning matters
Many aerosol measurement systems rely on particle charge to classify, collect, or analyze particles. Stable, well-controlled charging improves measurement accuracy and confidence, particularly when characterizing dynamic particle sources or comparing results across varying conditions.
System integration
The Universal Charge Conditioner is designed as a standalone aerosol charge conditioner for research, development, testing, and monitoring applications. It can be integrated with particle classifiers, emissions measurement systems, filter and respirator testing setups, and electrostatic sample collection systems where reliable charge conditioning is essential.
