To calibrate a newly developed condensation particle counter, samples of known chemical composition are needed as the chemistry plays a role in the activation process. For that, we have built a calibration setup and produced ammonium sulfate, sodium chloride, tungsten oxide, silver, alkyl halide, and ionic liquid clusters down to 1nm in mobility diameter in positive and negative mode. The chemical composition of most negatively charged clusters was solved using high-resolution mass spectrometer and we identified about 70% of the total signal of the mass spectrometer. For the Airmodus Particle Size Magnifier, which was the instrument to be calibrated, we measured cutoff diameters of 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.61.8nm for negative sodium chloride, ammonium sulfate, tungsten oxide, silver, and positive organics, respectively. From the alkyl halide and ionic liquid experiments, we concluded that the composition plays a bigger role than the charge state of the cluster in the activation process. We also showed that relative humidity of the sample flow can change the detection efficiency of the Particle Size Magnifier, which adds some uncertainties to the measured number concentrations.
