The latest 3-parameter instrument from PPM Technology directly measures airborne formaldehyde concentrations as well as ambient temperature and humidity levels. The PPM 400ST is exclusive to our distributor Suzhou Stanford Instruments Ltd. in the P.R.C. and has also been awarded a P.A. Certificate.

Building on the technology developed in the popular Formaldemeter 400, with the addition of unique compensation techniques, the 400ST can now accurately measure low levels of formaldehyde — even in humid conditions — while still maintaining ease of use and simple calibration.

With further importance being put on air quality in public buildings, the workplace and in homes, the 400ST is aimed toward being the most accurate monitor while still providing quick and simple operation from a hand-held device.

• Displays formaldehyde concentration in both parts per million (ppm) and mg/m³.
• Immune to extremes of humidity and temperature thanks to a unique sampling method.
• Simple calibration procedure can be carried out in a few minutes after only minimal training — the full kit contains a field calibration standard (6 months shelf-life) and a comprehensive operation manual.
• Fast sampling by pressing a single button and quick recovery from normal concentrations.
• Full range of accessories available including rear stand or wall mount for hands-free operation and PC remote control software for data logging. See separate brochure for more details.
• Service centres throughout the P.R.C. and full technical support provided under a comprehensive manufacturers warranty.
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards and compliant to CE regulations.

• Calibration Standard: Suzhou Stanford Instruments Ltd. supplies an easy-to-use formaldehyde calibration standard tube for checking and adjusting the calibration of the PPM 400ST. The tube produces a known concentration of formaldehyde vapour that can be sampled by the instrument to check accuracy and performance. The standard has a 100-sample capacity or a useful life of six months (whichever occurs sooner).
• PPM AMS-2 Aldehyde Monitoring Station: The PPM AMS-2 enables the PPM 400ST to be used as a data logging semi-continuous formaldehyde area monitor. The AMS-2 is a compact bench top unit that connects to the hand held instrument and essentially automates the operation of the PPM 400ST.
• SPC-1 System: The Single Point Control System enables formaldehyde monitoring to be carried out at one or more location simultaneously. Several monitoring points can be connected to the system and monitored at a central location via one PC.
• Desk Stands and Wall Brackets: When the hand-held is used in continuous or automated modes with the AMS-2, SPC-1 or i/fB then a range of special brackets are available so that the htV can be placed in the ideal position to achieve the best results. By mounting the 400ST on a wall then samples can be taken at head-height - the area of air that is being breathed by the occupants.
