Yes. In June 2008, TSI resigned the N95 technology and it is now built into the PortaCount® Pro+ Model 8038. This redesign instrument allows you to quantitatively fit test disposable respirators, including the popular N95 class. The PORTACOUNT has always been able to fit test HEPA, N100, R100, P100, N99, R99, and P99 disposables by itself without using the N95-COMPANION. Click here for information on the Model 8025-N95 Sampling Probe Kit that lets you install sample probes into disposable respirators. Prior to the introduction of the N95-COMPANION, the PORTACOUNT could not be used effectively with Dust-Mist (DM) or Dust-Mist-Fume (DMF) disposable respirators.
