Description: 

The Tisch Ambient Eight-Stage Cascade Impactor (Impactor) is a high sample-rate, multiple orifice and multiple stage Inertial Impactor. A Cascade Impactor is a multi-stage impaction device used to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes. Ambient air enters the circular inlet of the Pre-Impactor Size Selective Inlet (High Capacity Pre-Separator) and cascades through the succeeding orifice stages with successively higher orifice velocities from Stage #0 to Stage #7.
