Series 690 ULTRA Passive Sampler for VOCs
Providing reliable collection of low ppb-level volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at ppm levels without the use of a pump.
SKU
690PSAMPLER
The ULTRA® Passive Sampler offers a choice of four sorbents for indoor and ambient air sampling. The ULTRA samples by diffusion and provides low ppb to ppt detection of compounds, including semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). Use the ULTRA as an alternative to stainless steel canisters for green building certification, fenceline monitoring, product emissions, vapour intrusion, and near roadway, traffic, public health/asthma, and school zone studies.

- Miniature lightweight sampler is easy to transport — no expensive shipping
- Validated sampling (uptake) rates
- For indoor (low air velocity) uptake rates, see Technical Note: Indoor and Outdoor Sampling Rates for Environmental Sampling Using ULTRA Passive Samplers
- For outdoor uptake, see the Environmental Sampling Guide
- Built-in blank/correction sorbent section available
- Sample integrity
- Sonically welded housing seals the sampler
- Manufactured in an ultra-clean environment
- Extensive cleaning and QC procedures
