Precision Liquid Particle Monitoring for Critical Water Systems

The Lighthouse Vertex100 Liquid Particle Counter delivers highly accurate particle counting for ultrapure water (UPW) systems used in semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical production and other contamination-controlled environments. Designed to detect extremely small particles with outstanding reliability, the Vertex100 helps maintain process quality and regulatory compliance.

Its compact design and advanced optical technology make it suitable for both new installations and integration into existing facility monitoring systems.

Advanced Detection with Rapid Recovery

The Vertex100 combines high sensitivity with fast system recovery, allowing operators to quickly identify contamination events and return to baseline measurements. Advanced photodetector technology reduces optical noise and minimises gamma-ray interference, delivering accurate counts without the need for count subtraction.

Real-time monitoring enables immediate response to changing water quality, reducing downtime and protecting critical manufacturing processes.

Built for Continuous Monitoring

Designed for permanent installation, the Vertex100 features integrated manual flow control, industrial communications and a robust stainless steel construction. Its intuitive touchscreen interface simplifies operation while supporting seamless integration with building management and facility monitoring systems.
