UMEx 200 Passive Samplers
The lightweight UMEx 200 clips in the breathing zone for easy personal sampling. The sample medium (tape treated with triethanolamine [TEA]) and a "blank/correction" section of tape are contained in one sampler saving time and money. Samplers are provided in individual aluminiumised pouches that can be used to transport the sampler to a laboratory. The label on the outside of each pouch contains the shelf-life date for easy inventory management.
- Same chemistry as active OSHA Method ID-182
- Ready to use
- Accurate, reliable personal sampling
- Lightweight sampler clips easily in the breathing zone
- Economical , low cost, single use sampler
- Safe — no glass or chemical liquids in the sampler
- No pump or training required
- Sample medium and blank/correction in one unit
- Accurately measures personal workplace exposure to sulphur dioxide and/or nitrogen dioxide from 15 minutes to 8 hours (Not suitable for new STEL of 0.25 ppm)
- 3-week sample storage at ambient temperature
SKC Research has validated the UMEx 200 Passive Sampler for 24 hour ambient air sampling of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide to complement federal EPA reference methods. The validated concentration range for sulphur dioxide is 0.4 to 8 ppm (15 minutes to 24 hours); nitrogen dioxide is 0.05 to 8 ppm (15 minutes to 24 hours).
