Airmodus offers next generation nanoparticle counters for scientific and industrial use and develops advanced solutions for measuring airborne particles and gases. Our goal is to push the boundaries of aerosol particle measuring.
Commercializing cutting-edge science
Climate change, air quality, health effects of inhaled particles, nanomaterials - there are multiple reasons why even the smallest aerosol particles matter. The Airmodus Particle Size Magnifier is currently the only commercially available instrument capable of detecting airborne particle even down to 1 nm in size.
Airmodus is a young and innovative spin-off company from the University of Helsinki, founded in 2010 by a group of aerosol physicist. Strong connections with the state-of-the-art research ensure that our products meet the high scientific standards.
