Microvacuum Cassettes

Ideal for easy sampling on irregular surfaces such as carpeting.

SKC Microvacuum Cassettes enable efficient collection of asbestos or fungal spores. Available with an MCE or polycarbonate filter each microvacuum cassette features a microvacuum nozzle for sampling of settled dust on surfaces. The contaminants are collected using a high flow pump (10 L/min), whilst the nozzle enables easy sampling on irregular surfaces such as carpet. They are specified in ASTM D5755 and D5756. Use a Template to define an area for analysis of the collected sample.

Available as individual cassettes or as a kit.
