Monitoring of Organics using Manual Samplers

A known volume of air sample is passed through a tube packed with Activated Charcoal or Tenax. The organic vapors are adsorbed on the charcoal. The collected vapors are desorbed using a suitable solvent like CS2 and analyzed with the help of a Gas Chromatograph. Using this method one or a mixture of compounds can be sampled. With the APM 856 Samples averaged over several hours can be collected making it possible to compare values obtained with Standards. ORGANIC VAPOUR SAMPLER APM 856 (NEW)
