Easy-VOC is a grab sampling kit, a hand-operated pump for rapid ‘grab-sampling’ of precise volumes of air/gas directly onto sorbent tubes, for analysis by thermal desorption (TD). In contrast to canister sampling, grab-sampling onto sorbent tubes allows analytes from a wider volatility range to be sampled (in the region of C2/3 to n-C44), plus many polar and reactive species.
Enables sampling of precise volumes of air (50 mL and 100 mL intervals)
Portable and can be used remotely without batteries or electrical power
No need for calibration means no additional tools are required
Overview
The Easy-VOC kit contains:
Easy-VOC grab-sampling pump
CapLok™ tool
Carry-case
Easy-VOC allows samples to be collected onto single-bed or multi-bed sorbent tubes (¼″ or 6 mm o.d.), extending the application range and allowing quantitative retention of SVOCs, VOCs and VVOCs in a single sampling period.
Performance in many applications is very similar to constant-flow pumps – reproducibility is 1 ppb when using quadrupole MS.
Easy-VOC is ideal for entry-level users undertaking active sampling – it doesn’t require calibration and is simple to use and robust. It provides a snapshot into target compound concentrations at a given time as opposed to a time-weighted average, and provides excellent repeatability and comparison of data.
