Principles of a novel submicron particle sizing technology are first introduced followed by experimental validation. The sizing was accomplished by coupling aerodynamic particle focusing and maximum ion measurement. Experimental results showed that the prototype could detect particle sizes down to 40nm in diameter. Comparison between the prototype and a scanning mobility particle sizer using identical polydisperse particles showed that the measurements agreed well for the tested particles.
