Dear community,
you can find the actual version of the "MPSS evaluation software with R" as a download under "Measurement Guidelines" -> "Particle number size distribution - mobility diameter 10-800 nm". We are constantly working to improve the software. Please use only the approved version by WCCAP to avoid any problems or mistakes during the evaluation process.
First information about the software were given during the last community meeting on February 12th, 2026. Please have a look at the presentation in the section "Meetings & Minutes".
