SKC 575 Series Passive Samplers

for Organic Vapors

SKC 575 Series Passive Samplers are small ready-to-use samplers that provide

superior collection of organic vapors without the use of a sample pump. SKC

has scientiﬁ cally validated the sampling rates for many chemicals and other critical

sampling parameters of the 575 Series Passive Samplers to meet OSHA/ASTM/

ANSI requirements. SKC 575 Series Passive Samplers have been identiﬁ ed as a viable

alternative to active sampling in six OSHA methods.

Performance Proﬁ le

Sorbent/Amount: 575-001: Charcoal, 350 mg

575-002: Anasorb

747, 500 mg

575-003: Anasorb 727, 300 mg

Housing material: Nylon

Diameter: 1.4 in (3.5 cm)

Length

(including clip): 2.5 in (6.3 cm)

Depth: 0.6 in (1.5 cm)

Concentration range: Varies - dependent upon chemical of interest

Analysis: Solvent desorption, Gas Chromatography/Flame Ionization

Detector (GC/FID)

Shelf-life: 2 years at < 39.2 F (4 C)

Storage: Before use: Store at ambient temperature. For low-level

measurements, SKC recommends storage at < 39.2 F (4 C).

A er use: For sample storage information, refer to the

method for the chemical of interest. Expedited shipping is

recommended. See Storage.

Sample time: Validated for 15-min and 8-hr occupational exposure sampling.

Lab and ﬁ eld studies conducted with several compounds show

suitability for 24-hr air sampling.

Sampling rate: Dependent upon chemical of interest. For compound-speciﬁ c

sampling rates, visit www.skcinc.com and click on Sampling Guides.

Sampling Select the passive sampler with the sorbent best suited for the chemical of interest. Visit www.skcinc.com and click on Sampling Guides to determine the recommended sampler for a specific compound. 1. Remove sampler from sealed pouch. Retain and set aside all other parts, including the desorption eﬃciency tube(s). 1 2. Write the start time, date, and a user-assigned sampler ID number on the label on the back of the sampler.

Storage Before use: Store at ambient temperature. For low-level measurements, SKC recommends storage at < 39.2 F (4 C) for lower backgrounds and optimum results. After use: For sample storage information, refer to the method for the chemical of interest. SKC recommends expedited shipment of samples due to the unstable nature of some compounds.
