Components

I. Inputs

- Gas- or condensed-phase precursor(s)

- Water vapor (bubbler or Nafion membrane humidifier)

- Ozone lamp (peak λ = 185 nm)

II. PAM Reactor

- Pyrex or metal chamber

- UV lamps (peak λ = 254 nm)

- UV lamp power supplies

- Quartz tube sleeves and plugs for lamps

III. Conditioning (depending on specific application)

- Ozone denuders, e.g. Carulite

- Charcoal denuders

- Thermal denuders

IV. Flows (govern residence time in PAM reactor)

- Gas-phase measurements

- Condensed-phase measurements

- Makeup flow(s)
