Ethylene Oxide Passive Samplers

Ethylene oxide is widely used to sterilise medical equipment and supplies. Exposure health effects can range from respiratory irritation to cancer and reproductive/mutagenic effects. SKC has scientifically validated the sampling rate of the 575 Series passive samplers along with other critical sampling parameters to meet OSHA/ASTM/ANSI requirements.

Highly accurate and reliable
- Proven performers in the laboratory and in the field
- Fully validated to ANSI/ISEA 104-1998 Standard
Save time and money
Uses same sorbent as active OSHA Method 1010
Economical solvent desorption and GC analysis
Ideal for hospitals, veterinary clinics and sterile instrument manufacturers
Superior collection efficiency
- SKC sorbents have a larger surface area for higher capacities
- Samplers contain >300 mg of sorbent — much more than other brands
Sampling flexibility - Validated for short-term and 8-hour sampling
Proven results - extensively tested and documented
So easy to use - No sampling pump or training required
