Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2)
The SP2 is Droplet’s premier instrument for direct measurement of black carbon in individual aerosol particles.


Product Description The SP2 delivers unmatched detail about black carbon particles, including mass, size, heat of vaporization, and coating – critical information for characterization of pollution sources, accurate description of optical properties, and prediction of health effects.

Advantage Characteristics
Control the instrument, display data, and log data with UI software and a user-friendly virtual instrument panel. Perform advanced data analysis and create journal-quality reports with a comprehensive toolkit. Get full characterization of each individual black carbon particle (mass, size, heat of vaporization, and coating) with simultaneous measurement of incandescence and light scattering.
Enhance model effectiveness by capturing variances in black carbon make-up with single particle detection. Measure black carbon independently of particle mixing state with Nd:YAG intracavity laser-induced particle incandescence (LII). Detect black carbon at concentrations below 10 ng/m3 with dual gain stages – enabling full characterization in the cleanest environments.
