These sorbent tubes contain Florisil®, a high-purity magnesium silicate sorbent primarily used in air sampling to capture harmful vapors of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and select polar or moderately polar organic compounds. Its reliable adsorption performance makes it well suited for industrial hygiene and environmental air sampling.
SKC Sorbent Tubes are high-performance sorbent sampling media designed to meet method specifications for the effective collection of airborne gas and vapor contaminants in workplace and environmental settings. Precision manufactured and engineered with high-quality, low background sorbent materials, these tubes help ensure reliable results for a wide range of chemical compounds. Industrial hygienists and other OEHS professionals trust SKC Sorbent Tubes.

Why Choose SKC Sorbent Tubes
Over 50 years ago, SKC was the first to bring the NIOSH sorbent tube design to the commercial market, represented by what was then, and remains, the SKC 226-01 Sorbent Tube. That early development laid the foundation for decades of SKC Sorbent tube innovations and air sampling expertise. As a pioneer in sorbent tube development, SKC applies this experience to provide sorbent tubes designed for consistent quality and dependable sampling performance. Rigorous quality controls help ensure consistency from lot to lot, supporting reliable exposure assessments and sampling in accordance with established methods. For generations, industrial hygienists and other OEHS professionals have relied on SKC Sorbent Tubes.
