Sorbent Tubes and Holders [Tubes]

Sorbent Tubes for single or multiple sampling of vapors and gases using a low flow sampling pump.

These high quality sealed glass tubes are 6x70mm in size, packed with accurately weighed, high purity coconut shell charcoal. The specific applicable test methods should be determined from the NIOSH Air Sampling Guide.

They are designed to absorb vapors and gases passed over them, when used with low flow air sampling systems and fit a variety of holders described here. A tube has sorbent material in two sections: the first for sample collection and the second for sample break-through control.

The tips of the tubes are snapped off with a tube tip breaker, just prior to use. Each tube comes with caps to protect the user from the sharp glass ends and to seal the tubes after sampling is complete, prior to sending them to the lab. Tubes are packaged 50 to a box, in order quantities up to 1,000.

This unique patented system consists of a series of components which can be used to make up any of a wide range of different sorbent tube holders. That includes holders for single tube sampling or for multiple tubes manifolded together, with variable control of flow rate to each individual tube. These holders accept not only Sensidyne sorbent tubes but other standard sized industry tubes.

 

Tight Sealing, Visible Design

The quality construction of these holders features housings of clear plastic, allowing easy see-through inspection. In addition, each of the fittings at either end of the holder contains positive sealing O-rings in a double seal arrangement, eliminating any possible contamination of the sample by assuring absolute airtight integrity. They allow the sample tube to be flow-calibrated in place and also permit quick, easy reconfiguring of tube holder arrangements.

 

Single Tube Holder Kits

Kit comes with single holder, tubing, adapters and collar clip. Available for any of six different tube sizes. It can be ordered as a standard tube holder kit for constant flow control applications, or as a manifolded kit, which can also be used for variable flow single tube sampling, with a constant pressure (multi-flow) control in place.
