These are used by AFIT to conduct research of nanometer-sized and larger aerosols, including bio-aerosol that have been associated with cloud droplet and ice crystal nucleation. These pieces of equipment utilize laminar-flow condensation growth technology for the purposes of collecting aerosol particle samples for physical, biological, and chemical analysis. This technology is intellectual property of Aerosol Dynamics Inc., located in Berkely, CA, who have granted exclusive, worldwide rights for use to Aerosol Devices Inc., which is the company that is the sole producer and distributor of the CINCS and LSS. Without utilizing ADI�s equipment, AFIT researchers would be unable to continue their research in this field. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR QUOTATIONS.
