Thermo Scientific TEOM 1405-F FDMS
Ambient Air Monitor

The TEOM® 1405-F Ambient Particulate Monitor with FDMS is a mass measurement monitor that incorporates the patented Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) to measure particulate matter mass concentrations continuously. The TEOM 1405-F Monitor is a true “gravimetric” instrument that draws ambient air through a sample filter for collection at a constant flow rate. The monitor continuously weighs the filter calculating near real-time mass concentrations. The 1405-F can be used to sample PM-10 by using a standard PM-10 inlet or can be used for PM-2.5 sampling by adding a cyclone in addition to the PM-10 inlet.

The 1405-F TEOM Monitor consists of a Filter Dynamics Measurement System (FDMS) and TEOM mass sensor housed in a single-cabinet compact enclosure, and network-ready configuration that includes a control system with touchscreen user interface. The TEOM 1405-F utilizes FDMS technology to provide a representative determination of the mass concentrations of the PM as it exists in ambient air. The FDMS unit automatically determines mass concentration measurements that account for both non-volatile and volatile PM components.
