microCyclone™ PM2.5 Size-selective inlet
The microCyclone is a miniature PM2.5 size-selective inlet for the microAeth. This sharp-cut cyclone has a
size cut of 2.5 micron at 50 ml/min and 1.6 micron at 100 ml/min.
microAeth MA Series Flow Calibration Kit
The microAeth MA Series Flow Calibration Kit comes with all of the components necessary to reliably perform
a flow calibration of the microAeth® MA Series instruments. This kit includes a custom designed external
mass flowmeter and all necessary tubing, connectors, and cables to perform the simple and fully automated
flow calibration. The only way to perform a flow calibration on the MA Series instruments is to use the
AethLabs MA Series Flow Calibration Kit.
Portable Aerosol Dryer
A small, portable, passive nafion / dessicant aerosol dryer. Dessicant life of 500 liters before recharge or
replacement.
Serial to bare leads cable
This cable allows the microAeth MA Series instruments to send and receive 3.3v TTL serial data from the
4-pin serial port to and from other devices. This cable is not included.
MA350 Sealed connector to bare leads cable
This cable allows the microAeth MA350 to send and receive 3.3v TTL serial data to and from other devices.
This cable also allows the MA350 to be powered from an external source. This cable is not included.
3.6. Replacement Parts
microAeth MA Series Flow Calibration Kit Communication cable
This cable allows the microAeth MA Series instruments to communicate with the custom designed external
mass flowmeter in the microAeth MA Series Flow Calibration Kit. This cable is included in the microAeth MA
Series Flow Calibration Kit.
microAeth MA Series Flow Calibration Kit Inlet filter
This low backpressure inline disc filter is used on the inlet of the external flowmeter of the microAeth MA
Series Flow Calibration Kit to keep the external flowmeter clean and to keep the microAeth sampling filter
clean during flow calibration. An inline filter isn't required but is recommended especially if a flow calibration
is being completed outdoors or in a dirty environment.
Serial to USB converter cable
This cable allows the microAeth MA Series instruments to send and receive serial data from the 4-pin serial
port to the USB port of a computer. This cable is also used to upgrade the firmware of microAeth MA Series
instruments. This cable is included with all MA Series instruments.
MA350 Sealed connector to DC barrel jack and serial port cable
This cable converts the microAeth MA350 sealed connector port to a DC barrel jack port and a 4-pin serial
port. This cable is included with the MA350.
