Basic condensation particle counter 5410

GRIMM CPC 5410
Basic condensation particle counter

Compact CPC for nanoparticle counting with optimized detection efficiency and response time.  Different calibrations possible, e.g. for real-time monitoring of UFP in ambient air according to CEN EN 16976:2024. Also available as GRIMM CPC 5412 with integrated sample air pump.


Functionality: Condensation particle counter

  • n-butanol based CPC
    The most reliable and widely used particle counter 
  • 0.6 or 1.0 L/min sample flow
    Two versions to meet a wide range of experimental needs
  • Versatile use
    Supports multiple calibration options, including compliance with EN 16976:2024 and other relevant standards
  • Accurate nanoparticle counting
    Optimized condensation for precise results with droplet size control and continuous drainage
  • Effortless operation
    Simple start/stop functionality for stand-alone use and easy data storage via USB flash drive
  • Space-saving design
    A compact footprint for seamless integration into any laboratory setup
  • Traceable calibration
    Easily perform traceable calibrations with analog pulse output for direct access to raw data
  • Unique saturator shutter
    Ensures fast transport without butanol drying and eliminates any risk of optics contamination
  • Pressure-independent performance
    Sample flow controlled by critical orifice. Ready for external vacuum supply. Model CPC 5412 also available with integrated sample pump.
