Short summary
The Cluster Ion Counter (CIC, Airel OÜ) is a novel instrument that simultaneously measures positive and negative ion concentrations below 5 nm. It provides high detection efficiency, low noise, a rapid time response, and excellent reliability, confirmed in lab experiments and at the CERN CLOUD chamber. Its design enables precise, robust long-term measurements, facilitating versatile applications in diverse environments, from laboratory settings to field and potential airborne research.
