Reflecting on AAAR 2025 – Advancing Aerosol and VOC Research
Our team was proud to participate in the 43rd Annual Conference of the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR 2025). The event brought together leading scientists, engineers, and industry professionals to share the latest advancements in aerosol science and technology.
Overview
Our integrated technologies provide a uniquely comprehensive approach to advancing aerosol research. The Bipolar FUSION PTR-TOF offers unprecedented molecular characterization of complex oxidation pathways and SOA formation using switchable reagent ions. When coupled with the CHARON particle inlet, it provides real-time, molecular analysis of both volatile and condensed organics. Complementing this, the IONICON Laminar-Flow Oxidation Reactor ILOx allows for dynamic simulation of multi-day atmospheric aging, while the VOCentinel ensures automated, continuous monitoring of critical VOC precursors, securing high-quality, long-term environmental data.
Highlights from our contributions
