Sorbent Tubes, 2 Molecular Sieve (Triethanolamine) Tubes and 1 Oxidizer Tube Overview

Sorbent Tube, multiple-tube train

Tube 1: 7 x 70 mm, contains 400 mg Molecular Sieve treated with triethanolamine (TEA), glass sealed tube ends, Glass Wool/Glass Wool separators - collects NO2; Tube 2: 7 x 110 mm, contains 400 mg treated silica gel (oxidizer), glass sealed tube ends, Glass Wool/Glass Wool separators - converts NO to NO2; Tube 3: 7 x 70 mm, contains 600 mg Molecular Sieve treated with triethanolamine (TEA), glass sealed tube ends, Glass Wool/Glass Wool separators - collects NO2; the NO2 ion [nitrite] is determined during analysis and labs use the SKC-supplied formula/graph to calculate NO ppm; replaces 226-40; 10 sets

Storage at  ≤ 39.2 F (4 C) required.

Red Triangle

Consult the method or the SKC Air Sampling Guide to determine the appropriate sorbent tube to use for the chemical being sampled.

Red Triangle

Just before sampling, use a scorer/breaker tool to uniformly break the ends of the sorbent tube to a 2 mm diameter or half the diameter of the tube body.

Red Triangle

Keep the tube in a vertical position during sampling to prevent the possibility of channeling that can lead to undersampling.

Red Triangle

The arrow on the tube indicates air flow direction and should point to the tube holder and pump. If no arrow is present, the smallest section should be near the tube holder.

Red Triangle Ship the sample to a laboratory as soon as possible; avoid excessive heat and rough handling.
