Organic Vapour Passive Samplers

SKC has scientifically validated the sampling rate of the VOC Chek 575 passive samplers along with other critical sampling parameters to meet OSHA/ASTM/ANSI requirements. SKC VOC Chek 575 Passive Samplers are identified as a viable alternative to active sampling in several OSHA methods.

Step 1 - Remove the
front cap

Step - 2 Clip the sampler
within the breathing zone

Step - 3 After use fit
the cap and record
the information

Highly accurate and reliable
- Proven performers in the laboratory and in the field
- Extensively tested and documented
Decrease sampling costs
- Collect most compounds with one sampler for up to a full 8 hour shift eliminating multiple trips to the worksite
- One sampler + one analysis = money saved
- SKC sorbents have a larger surface area for higher capacities
- Economical solvent desorption and GC analysis
Variety of samplers available
- Only SKC offers a choice of sorbents to better target specific contaminants
- Specific samplers available for styrene and methanol
- Sampling rates for over 300 compounds
- Proper sorbent selection means no reverse diffusion
Meet ASTM D6246-08 and ANSI/ISEA 104-1998 (r 2009) standards
So easy to use - no pump or training required

Review the Passive Sampling Guide to identify the most appropriate sampler.
