IN101T
AirPhoton Turbo Integrating Nephelometer
AirPhoton IN101T is our basic Integrating Nephelometer. It is generally used for simple operations such as determing the bulk properties of aerosols including the overall amount and size of the particles. This instrument is highly valued for its accuracy and reliability, providing essential data for environmental monitoring and research.
It is designed for robust operation under a wide range of conditions. While its rugged design allows for field deployment, it is also a highly sensitive instrument which can be used in the laboratory or modified for use in aircraft. In this regard, the IN101T is highly versatile and can work in different environments and for different purposes.
The IN101T is recommended to use for measurements of all particle sizes at normal ambient conditions as well as for situations where higher pressure intake is required – i.e. high altitudes, clean condition or longinlettubes.

- Operating temperature: -30 to +45°C
- Wavelengths: 450, 532, and 632 nm
- Angular range: 7° to 90° ; 90° to 170°
- Full scattering = forward + back scattering
- Standard range: 0.0-3,000Mm⁻¹
- Extended range: 20,000Mm⁻¹ (upon request)
- Lower detectable limit: <0.15 Mm⁻¹ (60 sec AVG); < 0.06 Mm⁻¹ for Backscattering (60 sec AVG)
- Time resolution: 15 sec standard – 1 sec minimum
- Sensitivity: < 0.1 Mm⁻¹
- Clean air reference option provides automatic zero for span calibration
- Data Interfaces: 4GB SD card (possible up to 32GB), RS 485, and USB
The IN101T can provide forward and back scatter measurements, three wavelenghts and high-speed fan.
We suggest the IN101T for measurements of all particle sizes at normal ambient conditions as well as for situations where higher pressure intake is required – i.e. high altitudes, clean condition or long inlet tubes.
