Sorbent tubes

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
