Copley Scientific introduces airborne fibre monitor

Copley 7400AD

The 7400AD emits a visible and audible alarm when concentrations of airborne fibres reach user-defined levels

The ability to detect potentially hazardous fibres in the air is essential before, during and after asbestos removal. It is also a key analytical device in manufacturing operations that use fibre raw materials and for monitoring air safety following uncontrolled releases, such as fires, earthquakes or explosions.

Housed within a compact unit, the 7400AD is field-portable with a rechargeable battery pack. Fully charged, it will operate unattended for up to eight hours while collecting sample on standard filters for subsequent microscopic or chemical analysis. Each 7400AD is factory-calibrated with traceability to NIOSH Method 7400 for asbestos fibres and specialised software allows users to set a range of performance features to customise the operation. In its partnership with MSP Corporation, Nottingham, UK-based Copley Scientific is a supplier of equipment for air sampling and aerosol characterisation in Europe. www.copleyscientific.co.uk
