Overview
UMEx¯100 Passive Sampler for formaldehyde; detection range from 5 ppb to 5 ppm; 15-minute to 24-hour samples and 7-day samples (sampling periods between 24 hours and 7 days have not been evaluated); single use only. Meets OSHA Method 1007 specifications.
The convenient UMEx 100 Passive Sampler features sensitive method-validated chemistry for detection of low levels of formaldehyde. The single-use UMEx 100 contains a tape treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) for reliable collection. Sampling rates are validated from 15 minutes to 24 hours or 7 days. Analysis is performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Performance Profile

Sampling Rate for Formaldehyde

28.6 ml/min with a RSD of 7.6% at wind velocity of 5 to 100 cm/sec for 15 minutes to 24 hours
20.4 ml/min at wind velocities < 5 cm/sec for 1 to 7 days

See the More Information tab for UMEx 100 sampling rates for other aldehydes.
