Abstract

A calibration sample for a particle analyzer comprises a deposition tube containing a known distribution of submicron size particles. The sample is produced using a microwave discharge in a microwave chamber to generate particles from a feedstock gas at subambient pressure, transporting the particles downstream from the microwave chamber and depositing them on the tube. The downstream tubing can then be removed, stored, transported and used as a calibration sample. In subsequent use, gas flowing through the tube entrains particles from the inner wall, producing a particle-laden gas whose particle size distribution and composition are identical to that produced originally--even after storage for months. The sample, requiring no special equipment, can be used at remote sites to prove-in and calibrate particle analyzers.
