575 Series Selection Guide
VOC Chek 575 Series Selection Guide
On-worker ppm Level Sampling of Organic Vapors
SKC VOC Chek 575 Series Passive Samplers are available with sorbents such as activated carbon and Anasorb 747 that strongly retain the collected compounds and require solvent extraction for laboratory analysis.
Use the following guide to locate target compounds and get an overview of critical sampling parameters along with the SKC catalog number of
the recommended SKC VOC Chek 575 Series Passive Sampler. Visit www.skcinc.com and download our free SKC Sampling Guide app to access
this information on your Android or Apple device.
Validation Levels
See the Validation Level column in this guide to determine the level of scientific testing. Go to www.skcinc.com and search the number in the
Research Report column to access online research reports.
Full – Stringent NIOSH testing protocol has been applied to verify sampler desorption efficiency, sampling rate, capacity, and the effects of
relative humidity, temperature, concentration, reverse diffusion, and storage on accuracy.
Bi-level – NIOSH testing protocol has been applied to the most volatile member of a related (homologous) series of chemicals; therefore,
related less volatile series members require only partial validation (described below) to achieve the same level of sampling accuracy. See Guild et
al. (http://doi.org/cjzqd7) or request a copy from SKC.
Partial – NIOSH testing protocol has been applied to verify sampling rate, desorption efficiency, and storage stability.
Calculated – This calculation of a sampling or uptake rate uses the diffusion coefficient of a specific chemical (D) and the cross-sectional area
(A) and length (L) of the sampler’s diffusion path (based on sampler geometry).
OSHA – Sampler has been validated by OSHA and is referenced in a published OSHA method.
