What Does TEOM Stand For?

TEOM stands for Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance

TEOM, or Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance, is a highly sensitive analytical instrument used primarily for measuring particulate matter concentrations in the air. It operates on the principle of measuring the frequency change of a tapered resonating element as particles accumulate on its surface. This technology allows for real-time monitoring and provides precise mass measurements, making it essential for environmental research, regulatory compliance, and air quality assessments.
