In development
Universal Charge Conditioner (UCC-BE1)
Selectable charge control
The UCC offers selectable bipolar, positive unipolar, and negative unipolar charging with continuous adjustability, giving researchers more flexibility than conventional chargers limited to one charging mode.
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
With rapid response in less than 20 seconds, the UCC supports accurate measurements during transient events and helps researchers move through test matrices more quickly.
Field-ready
Designed for deployment, the UCC operates from a 5 V input using USB or a battery pack. Its exempt ion source helps reduce regulatory burden while supporting long operating life.
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 depend on particle charge to classify, collect, or analyze particles. The more controlled and stable that charge is, the more confidence researchers can have in their measurements, especially when testing changing particle sources or comparing results across 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.
