microAeth® AE51 Trade-In
18 years. Everywhere people breathe. Still the standard.
Trade in your AE51 »
The AE51 proved black carbon could be personal. Wearable. Mobile. Real time.
Five ways forward
Four microAeth® portables. One microAethalometer™. Each one is built for a different kind of work.
The direct successor
Built to be worn, not to sit on the lab bench.
Trusted 880 nm Black Carbon measurement, in an even smaller size.
Built for the community
Sealed. Insulated. Shielded. The AL80's outdoor-rated enclosure has a sun shield and inlet protection, ready for rain, heat and dust.
Five wavelengths
Real-time source apportionment, built in. Separate traffic emissions from woodsmoke as it happens.
Long term deployments
Everything in the MA200, but more. Five wavelengths, DualSpot and real-time source apportionment for months to a year.
Cartridge life depends on concentration and settings.
Trade your AE51 toward an MA350 »microAethalometer™
Every microAeth is a complete instrument. The microAethalometer is built for one more job: running a monitoring station, day and night, for years.
The MA600 is not part of the AE51 trade-in.
