PCE Instruments PCE-MPC 30 Air Quality Particle Counter

Overview

The PCE-MPC 30 is a portable handheld particle counter used for comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring. Unlike standard particle counters, it combines PM measurements with HCHO (formaldehyde) detection, making it invaluable for assessing air quality in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The device provides real-time visual feedback via color-coded warnings and stores extensive measurement data for post-analysis.

Key Features

• Large 2.8-inch full-color LCD display with 320×240 pixel resolution
• Real-time color-coded visual warning system (green for safe to violet for extreme danger)
• Temperature measurement: 0–50°C (32–122°F), adjustable display in °C or °F
• Humidity measurement: 0–100% RH with dew point and wet bulb temperature calculation
• Data logger with adjustable sampling intervals: 30 seconds, 1, 2, or 5 minutes
