HgChek Elemental Mercury Passive Sampler

HgChek Elemental Mercury Passive Sampler Overview

The SKC HgChek is a disposable, single-piece passive sampler for elemental mercury vapor sampling in occupational and environmental settings. Unlike reusable mercury samplers, which require cleaning, reloading, and careful maintenance between deployments, HgChek arrives factory-preloaded with sorbent media and is designed for one-time use, eliminating cross-contamination risk and cutting preparation time both in the field and in the lab.

Because HgChek is a passive sampler, no sampling pump is required. It simply clips to a worker's collar, making it lightweight, easy to deploy, and ideal for personal exposure monitoring across busy field schedules. Following sampling, the device is analysed using standard laboratory atomic absorption equipment and can then be disposed of with no cleaning or reassembly needed.

Developed to meet the demands of recognized occupational exposure methods, HgChek supports defensible, quantitative data for compliance sampling, baseline assessments, and periodic exposure monitoring alike.

Key Features:

• Disposable, single-piece design - no cleaning or reloading required
• No sampling pump needed; lightweight and clips directly to a worker's collar
• High accuracy, sensitivity, and sampling capacity
• Validated for 8 and 12-hour work shifts
• Simple analysis via atomic absorption using standard laboratory equipment
• Capacity of >30 µg mercury and breakthrough volume >150 L of air
