One Minute Read: Cleanroom monitoring — Why does large display and intuitive menu matter?

When working inside a cleanroom, operators are required to don specific cleanroom garments which entails wearing gloves. This poses unique challenge for cleanroom operators who needs to work with a particle counter that comes with a touchscreen as some touchscreens are less responsive to gloved hands, while some others are inherently slow to response. These flaws become amplified when the touchscreen in use is small, and hence difficult to navigate.

Next, despite the advancement of technology which now makes possible many more functions and features in a particle counter, oftentimes many of these innovations are not put to use due to a poorly organized menu which necessitate users to “dive deep” into an endless list of menus and submenus only to locate a specific function.

Being well aware of these daily annoyances many cleanroom operators deal with, Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) has launched a whole new series of aerosol particle counter, the Lasair® Pro that comes with a large 8.4” touchscreen to present to its user a well-structured, intuitive and user-friendly menu, ensuring easy operation and minimal training.
