Behind every clean breath is data you can trust—and that’s where the DustTrak™ II Aerosol Monitor steps in. This purpose-built instrument does more than just detect particles; it gives professionals complete control over how, when, and what they measure. From its precision-engineered optics to its programmable data logging and real-time visualization tools, the DustTrak is packed with features that make air quality monitoring not just possible, but practical—no matter the conditions.
Whether you’re fine-tuning industrial processes, running compliance checks, or setting long-term environmental baselines, this device is designed to meet the moment with clarity and confidence.
The DustTrak™ II 8530 delivers real-time mass concentration readings using advanced 90° light-scattering laser photometry, a technology trusted for its accuracy in detecting airborne particles.
With every sample, users get instant, actionable data on aerosol contaminants like dust, smoke, and fumes, enabling faster decisions and more responsive air quality management. It’s built for professionals who need numbers they can trust, exactly when they need them.
From fine particulate matter like PM1 and PM2.5 to larger respirable and PM10 fractions, the DustTrak™ II 8530 adapts seamlessly to your monitoring needs with size-selective inlets.
Whether you are tracking urban air pollution or measuring dust levels on industrial sites, its wide concentration range from 0.001 to 400 mg/m³ provides consistent accuracy in both clean and challenging environments.
The DustTrak™ II 8530 is built to last, with smart internal systems that reduce wear and upkeep. Its sheath air system protects the optical components by keeping contaminants out of the optics chamber, helping to maintain accuracy and reduce cleaning needs.
Paired with a durable internal pump and adjustable flow rate, the instrument is optimized for consistent performance across a wide range of sampling conditions.
For those who need more than real-time readings, the DustTrak™ II 8530 supports gravimetric reference sampling using a 37-millimeter filter cassette.
This allows users to collect physical samples for lab analysis and calibration. It also features an outlet port for isokinetic sampling, giving professionals greater control and precision in specialized testing environments.
The DustTrak™ II 8530 doesn’t just deliver data, it delivers confidence. With user-friendly design features like serviceable filters and on-screen system status indicators, routine maintenance stays quick and stress-free.
When the air turns dangerous, visual and audible alarms immediately alert your team, while the STEL function tracks 15-minute exposure spikes that other monitors might miss.
