The project is the development and construction of a commercial Electrodynamic Balance (EDB), for the levitation and characterisation of single aerosol particles of sizes ~1-100 µm. An EDB levitates individual droplets or particles using an electric field. Various measurements may be made on the particle to measure its size, composition, structure, and density. EDB technology has been validated in academic research, but no commercial, standardised tool exists. This project aims to transfer the technology from academia to commercial research and development.The main objectives of the project are to produce a tool that:\* Provides data in a standardised form, ready and accessible for interpretation by industry.\* Is self-contained, safe, robust, and benchmarked sufficiently for use in industrial laboratories.\* May be used without repeated and extensive calibration or set up; 'plug and play' operation.\* Is easy to use for non-specialist scientists -- does not require mechanical, electronic or software expertise to use.

该项目是开发和建造商用电动天平（EDB），用于悬浮和表征尺寸为1-100 µm的单个气溶胶颗粒。EDB使用电场使单个液滴或颗粒悬浮。可以对颗粒进行各种测量以测量其尺寸、组成、结构和密度。EDB技术已经在学术研究中得到验证，但还没有商业化的标准化工具。该项目旨在将技术从学术界转移到商业研究和开发领域。该项目的主要目标是制作一种工具，该工具：* 以标准化的形式提供数据，随时可供工业界解读。*是独立的，安全的，坚固的，并在工业实验室中使用足够的基准。无需重复和大量校准或设置即可使用;即插即用。\*对于非专业的科学家来说很容易使用-不需要机械，电子或软件专业知识来使用。
