Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions continues to advance its optical particle counting technology for measurement of high purity water and process chemicals with the announcement of its NanoCount 30C+ liquid particle counter. The new NanoCount 30C+ can detect particles as small as 30nm in process chemicals.

The NanoCount 30C+ compliments the existing NanoCount 25+ and NanoCount 30+ products which detect particles down to 25nm in high purity water. The NanoCount 25+ is currently the world’s most sensitive liquid particle counter and uses a short wavelength high power laser and low noise multi- element detector to provide the most precise, most sensitive measurement of particles in high purity water.

“The NanoCount 30+ and NanoCount 30C+ are an ideal solution for customers having to replace their existing 50 and 65 nanometer liquid particle counters for ultra-pure water and process chemicals. With added sensitivity the NanoCount 30+ can extend the life of existing water systems for future device geometries”, says Bill Shade, Vice President of Marketing and Engineering. Lighthouse has a complete line of liquid particle counters including 50 and 65 Nanometer products which are direct replacements for companies ready to replace their current liquid particle counters.

The NanoCount technology has superior precision over previous generation technologies and can measure particle levels in water and process chemical delivery systems below 100 counts per liter with no errors from cosmic noise interference. So even at the same controlled particle size, customers can control their particle levels precisely at levels previously not possible with their current instruments. The advanced precision allows for early detection of contamination before it impacts product quality and yield.
