SKC 100-3901 DPS (Deployable Particulate Sampler) System - Manual (Page 4)

1
INTRODUCTION
The SKC DPS System is a compact, portable, batt ery-operated, and cost-eff ective
particulate sampling system that ensures the ability to monitor particulate matt er
(PM) in indoor and outdoor environments and in urban, industrial, or rural sett ings.
The system features the fully programmable constant fl ow Leland Legacy
® Sample
Pump, the IMPACT Sampler, and other equipment needed for eff ective ambient
PM10 or PM2.5 sampling. All components are packaged in an easily carried heavy-
duty Pelican
® case from which the system operates.
The heart of the DPS System is the patented* IMPACT Sampler. This inertial impactor
is designed to remove particles larger than a specifi c cut-point (2.5 μm or 10 μm) by
capturing them on a disposable oiled impaction disc that reduces particle bounce.
Particles smaller than the cut-point are collected on a 47-mm fi lter. The IMPACT
Sampler mounts easily and makes media changes fast and simple with its convenient
removable fi lter cassett e and opener.
* U.S. Patent No. 7,334,453
