At Aerosol Magee Scientific, our mission has always been clear: deliver reliable, scientifically robust measurements that enable better decisions for air quality, health, and climate. Today, we are proud to introduce two new solutions that raise the bar in carbonaceous aerosol monitoring: the Total Carbon Analyzer TCA09 and the new Carbonaceous Aerosol Speciation System (CASS).
Together, they represent a step forward not only in measurement capability, but also in usability, automation, and regulatory alignment.
Carbonaceous aerosols, including black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), and their fractions, are among the most significant contributors to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). They affect human health, visibility, and climate forcing, and are key targets in both research and regulatory frameworks.
Accurate, continuous measurement is essential for:
With TCA09 and CASS, we address long-standing challenges in measurement complexity and operational reliability. Traditional OC/EC analysis typically requires specialty gases and continuous operator attention, limiting its practicality in long-term or field deployments. By contrast, TCA09 and CASS eliminate these constraints through ambient air operation, automation, and stable unattended performance, enabling more consistent and comparable data across monitoring networks.
The TCA09 brings a straightforward idea into practice: total carbon measurement should be continuous, robust, and easy to operate.
Designed for long-term, unattended monitoring, TCA09 combines:
The result is simple: consistent, standard-aligned total carbon measurements without unnecessary complexity.
TCA09 and the new CASS
While measuring total carbon is essential, the real insight comes from knowing what it is made of, and where it comes from.
That is where CASS comes in.
CASS integrates the TCA09 with an Aethalometer into a single system, enabling real-time carbonaceous aerosol speciation: from total carbon down to its key components.
With CASS, users gain:
Through its built-in 5-component apportionment model, CASS helps turn measurement into immediate, actionable insight, not after-the-fact interpretation.
TCA09 and CASS are not just two new instruments—they represent a more integrated way of working.
Together, they establish a coherent and automated workflow, designed for efficient and consistent carbonaceous aerosol measurement.
Carbonaceous aerosols play a major role in air pollution, human health, and climate forcing, and accurate measurement is essential for understanding sources and trends.
By combining:
TCA09 and CASS are designed to support better decisions, whether in research, air quality, or industrial monitoring.
As monitoring needs evolve, so must the tools behind them. With TCA09 and CASS, we take a step toward making carbonaceous aerosol measurement more continuous, more transparent, and more useful from the moment the data is generated.
