Instrument

RDMA
Radial Differential Mobility Analyzer

Differential Mobility Analyzers (DMAs) are used to classify aerosols as they are ingested in the instrument. A Radial Differential Mobility Analyzer (RDMA) differs from a standard DMA in its radial inflow as well as its simpler construction; making it relatively lightweight and cheaper. The RDMA was designed to detect ultrafine aerosol particles in the 3-200 nanometer range.
