DMT is now licensed to develop and manufacture the Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS-4A). The WIBS, originally developed by the University of Hertfordshire, is ideal for measuring mold, pollen, and fungi.
DMT recently partnered with
Original Code Consulting to form DMT CodeSourceTM, a consultancy that develops turn-key systems for scientific research, green energy, and a range of environmental engineering applications. DMT CodeSource is a
National Instruments Alliance PartnerTM.

DMT Customers in the News
The March 2013 newsletter (PDF) of the International Global Atmspheric Chemistry (ICAG) features a front-page photo of DMT customer Dr. Milos Markovic and two Single Particle Soot Photometers (SP2s). Dr. Markovic is working with Dr. David Fahey and others at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory to study water uptake of aerosols that contain black carbon.
A recent review of studies on Black Carbon (BC) determined that BC's role in advancing climate change is greater than scientists had previously thought. Click here to see a New York Times article about the review. Several of the studies cited in the review used DMT instruments, including the SP2.
NASA was recently in the news for its air-quality monitoring efforts in California. NASA's research aircraft features DMT's SP2 and PASS-3 instruments. The research is currently taking place in the San Joaquin Valley, and it will ultimately help scientists study pollution using satellites.
Athanasios Nenes and his research team at the Georgia Institute of Technology have published findings that the earth's atmosphere at 30,000 contains more bacteria than previously expected. This discovery has important implications for ice nucleation research, Nenes reports in a story on NPR.
Milestones
On August 7th, 2012, Droplet Measurement Technologies turned 25 years old. Dr. Darrel Baumgardner, Bill Dawson, and Craig Walther founded the company in 1987.
Dr. Baumgardner was also recently elected Secretary/Treasurer of the International Commission on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP).
