Measurement guidelines for NFs for instruments dealing with aerosol physical properties (for observational and exploratory platforms)

This service is to calibrate nano-mobility particle size spectrometers, ion spectrometers or nano-CPCs in the size range of ca. 1-10 nm in mobility diameter

The performance of NFs measuring elemental composition of particulate matter samples is evaluated based on: QA/QC outputs, participation in inter-laboratory comparisons, calibration and training workshops, and effective data reporting to ACTRIS DC. Service available to external users

Provision of up-to-date guidelines for measuring the elemental composition of aerosols.

The performance of methods and instruments for measuring the elemental composition of aerosols is evaluated against distributed reference standards.

Development and evaluation of new methodologies in the field of analysis of the elemental composition of aerosols. Service open to external users (including private enterprises).

Measurement guidelines for NFs for instruments dealing with online aerosol chemical speciation (for observational and exploratory platforms)

QA/QC according to ACTRIS recommendations and operation guidelines.

Calibration of the instruments according to ACTRIS and TC recommendations

ACTRIS variable-specific analysis tools will be developed and updated to monitor the instrumentation performance at NFs and will facilitate the development of near-real-time data products.
