ARA N-FRM Sampler

Application

Measure 24hr TSP, PM10 or PM2.5 

Description

The ARA N-FRM ("Near"FRM) is a portable, rapidly deployable, battery-powered particulate sampling and monitoring device. It delivers Federal Reference Method (FRM) level of performance and integrates many additional functions for unmatched versatility.

The compact-sized sampler collects 24-hour TSP, PM10, or PM2.5 filter samples and can simultaneously measure local meteorological parameters. It can also be equipped with a light scattering particle sensor to log temporal particulate variations. 

For added versatility, the N-FRM can be operated in directional sampling mode and also has the capability of remote turn on. For more utility, the N-FRM can be operated in sensor only mode for long term collection of meteorological and particulate data.
