Description

Standardized filter-based sampling of atmospheric aerosols followed by immersion freezing analysis using the Ice Nucleation Spectrometer to quantify ice nucleating particle concentrations across a range of subzero temperatures.

Typical Equipment

  • Nalgene Sterile Analytical Filter Units
  • polycarbonate filters
  • TSI Mass Flow Meter
  • vacuum pump
  • 96-well PCR trays
  • CCD camera
  • INS aluminum blocks

Output Measurements

  • INP concentrations
  • freezing temperature spectra
  • treatment flags for INP composition
