TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a method for detecting particle composition using an aerosol inlet of a particle detector, where the received particles were carried within a stream of gas and charged using a charger to have a charge.
Abstract: Techniques and devices are disclosed for detecting particle composition. In one aspect, a method performed by a detector to detect particles includes receiving particles at an aerosol inlet of the detector. The method includes carrying the received particles within a stream of gas and charging the particles within the stream of gas using a charger to have a charge. The method includes transporting the charged particles to a location of a collection electrode. The method includes biasing the collection electrode to a voltage using a high-voltage supply to attract either negatively or positively charged particles, and analyzing the particles.
