UME^x 100 Passive Sampler for Formaldehyde

The UME^x 100 Passive Sampler for formaldehyde was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Working Life in Umea, Sweden.

Constructed of tough polypropylene, the single-use UME^x 100 contains a tape treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) for reliable collection of formaldehyde. Samplers are provided in individual aluminiumised pouches that can be used to transport the sampler to a laboratory after sampling.

For convenience and quality control assurance against contamination, each sampler incorporates a "blank/correction" section in addition to the active sampling section so there is no need to send extra samplers to the laboratory.

The shelf-life date is printed on a label on the outside of each pouch for easy inventory management. The UME^x 100 Sampler includes a clip for attachment to a worker’s collar for personal sampling or in an appropriate location for area sampling.
