The DustTrak DRX 8533 by TSI is a desktop aerosol monitor that simultaneously measures PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, and total particulate mass concentrations in real time, with a measurement range of 0.001–150 mg/m³ and a resolution of 0.001 mg/m³. With a 13-hour battery life, it is well-suited for stationary indoor air quality monitoring, industrial hygiene exposure assessments, HVAC filter performance testing, and research applications requiring multi-fraction aerosol data from a single instrument. Widely used in support of EPA PM2.5 equivalent method studies and SCAQMD Rule 1466 compliance monitoring for fugitive dust control.

What is the TSI DustTrak DRX 8533 used for?
It's a desktop area monitor for real-time simultaneous measurement of PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, and total PM mass concentration using laser photometry. It's used for indoor air quality investigations, construction and demolition dust monitoring, occupational dust exposure screening, and industrial hygiene ambient characterization.
DustTrak DRX 8533 vs. DustTrak DRX 8534 — what's the difference?
The 8533 is a desktop/area unit for fixed or tripod placement. The 8534 is the handheld/portable version of the same platform for mobile surveys and walking inspections. Use the 8533 when you need stationary continuous monitoring; use the 8534 when you need to move between sampling locations.
DustTrak DRX 8533 vs. SidePak AM520i — which should I use?
The DustTrak DRX 8533 is an area monitor for fixed-location ambient characterization. The SidePak AM520i is worn on the body for worker-specific personal exposure monitoring. Use both together in a comprehensive dust survey.
Is DustTrak DRX 8533 data sufficient for OSHA PEL compliance?
The DustTrak uses real-time photometry calibrated to Arizona Test Dust — it provides screening-level data. For OSHA PEL compliance determinations for specific aerosols (e.g., respirable crystalline silica), gravimetric filter sampling with lab analysis is the reference method.
What's included in the DustTrak DRX 8533 rental kit?
The DustTrak DRX 8533 monitor, zero filter, power supply, USB cable, and TrakPro software.
What does it cost to rent the TSI DustTrak DRX 8533?
$225/day and $635/week. Pricing beyond two weeks is by quote. For construction dust monitoring or IAQ investigations spanning multiple days, the weekly rate is significantly more economical — most meaningful particulate assessments require more than one day of data.
