MesoSystems micromachined virtual impactor

Product Description

MesoSystems Technology Micromachined Virtual Impactor

This as-is micromachined virtual impactor (MVI) is a precision micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) device for aerodynamic particle size classification and aerosol sampling. It enables size-selective particle concentration for analysis.

Key Technology & Function:

• Micromachined Design: Silicon-based, precision-etched fluidic channels

• Virtual Impaction: Aerodynamically separates particles by size without a physical collection surface

• Size-Selective Sampling: Concentrates particles within a specific aerodynamic diameter range

• Low Sample Volume Requirement: Efficient for continuous or portable monitoring

Potential Applications:

• Atmospheric aerosol research

• Indoor air quality monitoring

• Workplace exposure assessment

• Microfluidics and MEMS research
