The Model 651 is a continuous laminar flow condensation particle 
counter that uses water as its working fluid. The Model 651 
provides rapid, high-precision measurement of the numbers of 
ultrafine (down to 7 nm) airborne particles. The instrument delivers 
robust field performance in both pristine and heavily polluted areas 
and can be used for a variety of applications including ambient 
monitoring and research, indoor air quality investigations, 
atmospheric and climate research, and health effects studies. TAPI 
recommends annual maintenance and calibration for the Model 
651.  
 
Features of the Model 651 include: 
  6-inch color touch screen with a graphical interface displaying 
particle concentration, total counts, and a plot of concentration 
vs. time. 
  7-nm detection. 
  Single-particle counting to 10
6
 particles/cm

  Continuous, live-time, electronic processing for maximum 
accuracy.  
  Adjustable inlet flow (3.0 or 0.6 L/min), inlet location (front or 
back), and water supply connection (front or back). 
  Flexible data acquisition options including USB stick, Ethernet, 
USB port, and RS-232 port.  
  Advanced instrument diagnostics including a novel pulse height 
analyzer to monitor super-saturation state, wick health, and 
instrument status. 
  Newly designed air flow, wicking, and water handling systems.  
  Option to mount in a rack with included hardware.
