Gas And Vapour Sampling

SKC offer a range of gas and vapour sampling accessories to complement the range of air sampling pumps

SKC can offer customised solvent desorption tubes and thermal desorption tubes

Includes Carbon Beads, Drying Tubes, Firebrick, Florisil, Molecular Sieve, Oxidiser and Soda Lime tubes

The diffusive Thermal Desorption Tubes for Benzene and other VOCs is deployed for 14-day fenceline monitoring at multiple points around petroleum refinery sites

Used for the determination of sub-ppb VOC measurements in ambient air, and available as purged or unpurged.

OSHA Versatile Sampler Tubes The tubes combine sorbent and filter in one tube; a filter to trap aerosols and a two-section sorbent bed to adsorb vapours.

Porapak sorbent tubes contain a range of porous polymer sorbents with increasing polarity, which is used for monitoring volatile nitriles.

Polyurethane Foam Sorbent Tubes Polyurethane Foam (PUF) tubes are available in low volume (up to 24 hours) or high volume versions (for ambient air sampling)

Chromosorb Sorbent Tubes Chromosorb is a porous polymer sorbent, used to trap low-boiling hydrocarbons, benzene, labile compounds, and volatile oxygenated compounds

XAD Sorbent Tubes XAD resin is hydrophobic and used to adsorb soluble organic compounds

Tenax TA is a traditional sorbent for trapping medium to high boiling compounds; especially useful for low concentrations

This sorbent has a high surface area for sampling a broad range of primarily non-polar compounds

The Anasorb name is used for SKC proprietary sorbents of all types

Silica gel is the adsorbent material for sampling polar hydrocarbons, low molecular weight mercaptans, methanol, amines, and inorganic acids

Standard FlexFoil for low molecular weight compounds such as VOCs and CO, CO₂, methane and SF₆.The range has good 48 hour stability for hydrogen sulphide, carbonyl sulphide, methyl and ethyl mercaptan. Light- and moisture-proof.

SKC offers the largest selection of bag materials and sizes. Why not request a no-obligation quotation for a custom bag?

The SKC Vac-U-Chamber is a rigid air sample box that allows sample bags to be filled directly by using negative pressure provided by most personal air sample pumps

Bags with specially designed fitting for collecting samples of human breath

All the benefits of Standard FlexFoil plus detection and good storage stability for low ppm to high ppb VOCs.

DuPont Tedlar film for sample integrity and valid data. It resists permeation both into and out of the bag, and is the classic bag for VOCs, being referenced in many EPA methods

Validated sampling rates for benzene, toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene and many other VOCs

Quick and easy indication of Ozone levels

High accuracy, sensitivity and capacity for measurement of Mercury in the vapour phase. For OSHA Method ID-140

Lightweight miniature sampler, specified for OSHA Method 1015

Ethylene Oxide is used to sterilise medical equipment and supplies. Uses same sorbent as active OSHA Method 1010

Suitable for monitoring ammonia, one of the most commonly produced industrial chemicals. Chemistry similar to active OSHA Method ID-188 and NIOSH 6016

For occupational sampling and near-road/urban air monitoring. Same chemistry as active OSHA Method ID-182

Meets OSHA Method 1007 specifications and conforms to EU ISO 16000-4-2004 with highly selective 2,4-DNPH chemistry for easy analysis

Convenient alternative to thermal desorption tubes for sub-ppb Level VOCs. Passive alternative for EPA TO-17

Sampling rates for over 300 compounds for ppm-Level Organic Vapours

Impingers, sometimes known as bubblers, are small bottles used with an air sample pump to collect airborne hazards into designated collection liquids for analysis
