The Rion KC-52 Particle Counter is a portable environmental monitoring instrument designed for accurate airborne particle detection, essential for biotechnology and cleanroom applications. Featuring a 90-degree side scattering optical system illuminated by a 780 nm semiconductor laser with 35 mW output, it enables precise particle counting for air quality assessment. The internal optical pathway uses a spherical mirror condenser and photodiode detector to enhance measurement sensitivity and reliability.
This unit includes a rotary carbon vane pump, ensuring consistent airflow for sampling ambient air. It operates efficiently in temperature ranges between 10°C and 40°C and relative humidity up to 85% RH non-condensing, with storage tolerance from -10°C to 50°C and humidity at 90% RH. Compact dimensions (approx. 30.4 cm height) and lightweight design (~780 g) contribute to ease of transport and use in bioprocessing environments, molecular diagnostics, and cleanroom monitoring roles.
The product is sold as used, reflecting potential variance in performance compared to a new unit. Calibration services are available upon request, supporting ongoing accuracy critical to molecular biology workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
This particle counter is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical for biomanufacturing contamination control, offering robust detection capabilities in live-cell imaging labs and clinical diagnostics settings.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
