Nanocount version 3.2 can now be downloaded.
The following is a complete list of improvements done relative to the previous version
Major:
· Particle size distributions can be calculated with the X-axis being either corresponding spherical diameter or mass per particle
· It is now possible to calibrate diameter, mass per particle, and number concentrations using particle standards with the “grouping” tool that can be accessed via the nebulisation efficiency tool.
· Nebulisation efficiencies can be grouped so that their average is used as nebulisation efficiency value
· For each sample individually, diameter, mass per particle, and number concentration can be calculated using different nebulisation efficiencies if so desired
· All nebulisation efficiencies and averages thereof can be combined to extrapolate over time, with some restrictions
Minor
· ‘Size’ has been replaced with ‘Diameter’
· Using the nebulisation efficiency calculation methods based on flow mass balance and flow mass balance with intensity correction are no longer available as it is increasingly becoming clear that these yield highly inaccurate results and few users are interested in using them. The method other is still available if the nebulisation efficiency is calculated separately using these methods.
