Instrument arrived on 15th March. During few days we did some tests with our CPC and MPSS. The intercomparisson was conducted from 23/March to 11/April after DMA and CPC cleanning and HEPA sheath flow filters change. Plots are for the whole period from 18:00 23/March to 06:00 11/April, both instruments corrected by flow.
