IFV Pro Sampler

Part Number:

225-49

- +
Overview
IFV Pro Sampler includes sampling head (aerosol sampler body, cassette, and front plate), protective tube cover, cassette cap, 10 extra tube holders (rubber sleeves), and cassette transport container, requires 25-mm filter and sorbent tube.
The IFV Pro Sampler collects mixed-phase (aerosol and vapor) contaminants such as pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), inorganic acids, and explosives. The IFV Pro simultaneously collects the aerosol phase on a 25-mm filter and the vapor phase in an 8 x 110-mm sorbent tube at a flow rate of 1 L/min. Sampler includes sampling head, protective tube cover, cassette cap, and cassette transport container; requires 25-mm filter and 8 x 110-mm sorbent tube.

ACGIH IFV Designation

ACGIH has assigned a TLV with Inhalable Fraction and Vapor (IFV) designation to over 50 compounds that exert sufficient vapor pressure such that the contaminant may be present in both particle and vapor phases, with each phase contributing a significant portion of the dose. IFV Pro allows for efficient sampling of compounds with this designation (see guide below) or compounds found in mixed phases due to work activities or processes.
