The 12th International Aerosol Conference (IAC 2026) will be held from August 30 to September 5, 2026 at Xi’an Qujiang International Conference Center. As Diamond Sponsor of the conference, Palas GmbH, together with its Shanghai branch, will present integrated measurement solutions covering a wide particle size range from micro to nano at Booth A31/A38 in Area A (Central Hall).
Palas® measurement systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, from urban air quality monitoring to remote, high-altitude research stations, reliably capturing particle number concentration and size distribution data. Palas measures ultrafine aerosols down to the nanometer with high resolution and precise number concentration, giving researchers a clear view of the particles that shape air quality, climate, and health. With a comprehensive portfolio spanning aerosol generation, characterization, and visualization, Palas® provides integrated solutions that deliver foundational data for research areas including new particle formation, cloud microphysics, and indoor/outdoor pollution source apportionment. Whether for mobile monitoring, fixed network installations, or laboratory studies, the systems can be flexibly configured to meet diverse research objectives. We cordially invite colleagues and peers to visit our booth for in-depth discussions on specific application scenarios.
Product and Solution Highlights
Atmospheric Research
Palas® atmospheric aerosol measurement systems enable multi-parameter acquisition from PM mass concentration to particle number concentration and size distribution, long-term stable at remote background stations and high-altitude research sites, while also suitable for urban monitoring applications. The system platform offers robust expandability, integrating gas, noise, meteorological sensors, and third-party instruments for synchronized multi-source data collection and management on a single platform.
Ultrafine Particles
Palas® provides high-resolution size scanning across a wide particle size range, with dedicated Condensation Particle Counters (CPC) matched to every concentration range — from low background environments to very high emission sources. Wick-free CPCs feature self-monitoring and calibration status display, allowing users to monitor instrument performance in real time.
Oral Presentations and Poster Session
During the conference, Palas® will deliver 3 oral presentations and 1 poster presentation. You may save your preferred talks to “My Collection/My Favorites” in your account by clicking the star icon next to each presentation entry via the conference online system.
