. In the present paper, we expose how we boosted the performance of acommercial condensation particle counter (CPC) model TSI 3010 to detect particles as small as 1.5 nm whilepreserving the robustness and reliability of the original instrument. TheTSI 3010 was selected because of our deep knowledge of its internal workings and its largeincorporated butanol reservoir that allows continuous operation for severalhours without refill, which is well suited to airborne operation. Aside from this, itis still pretty easy to buy instruments from the TSI 3010 family fromcompanies that specialize in used scientific instrument retail. The CPCdescribed in this study is called B3010 hereafter, where the “B”stands for boosted. We provide an evaluation of its performancesdown to 1 nm using standard calibration methods and comparisons withultrafine CPCs (TSI 3025 and TSI 3776), as well as with its original version.One important application of the B3010 is for high-altitude measurementstations and airborne studies, the instrument's detection efficiency wasquantified for various inlet flow rates and pressures.
