AQMS Air Quality Machine vs. Traditional Separate Systems

Expert Tips for Choosing the Right AQMS Air Quality Machine

• Calibrate sensors quarterly and verify against lab reference instruments.
• Match optical range (40x–1000x) and LED control to your imaging tasks.
• Enable automated SMS/email alerts for threshold breaches of PM, VOCs, or gases.
• Confirm LIMS or data-management compatibility via Wi-Fi/Ethernet before deployment.
• Position away from vents, doors, or direct sunlight to avoid skewed readings.

Maintenance Best Practices

• Clean microscope lenses routinely with blower and microfiber; avoid harsh solvents.
• Inspect and replace particulate/gas sensor consumables or filters as recommended.
• Update firmware/software and back up logs on a defined schedule.
• Perform drift checks and gas bump tests (where applicable) between formal calibrations.
• Verify anti-vibration stage integrity and tighten mounts to maintain image stability.

FAQ
