BC 1060 Portable Black Carbon Monitor
The BC 1060 and BC 1065 2-Channel Black Carbon Monitors from Met One Instruments Powered by Acoem measure and report aerosol brown and black carbon concentrations, with user-selectable time resolution down to one minute, at both UV (370 nm) and IR (880 nm) illumination wavelengths. The BC 1060 provides a combination of portability and dual-wavelength illumination, which permits rapid, easy deployment on a broad scale for source apportionment (fossil fuel vs biomass combustion) determination, roadside monitoring, and emergency responder applications. The BC 1065 features the same technology and capabilities, but in a rack-mounted or benchtop configuration. The BC 1060 and BC 1065 can continuously sample for up to 6 months with a single roll of glass-fiber filter tape.
To simplify the difference between the BC 1060 and BC 1065:
- BC 1060 is Portable, in its own weatherproof enclosure for rapid deployability with no need for a shelter.
- BC 1065 is Rack-Mounted, for installation in laboratories or weatherproof enclosures with other equipment.
