OSHA Versatile Sampler
The unique construction of this versatile tube allows for
the simultaneous collection of aerosols and vapors. Originally designed by
OSHA to overcome some of the inconveniences of earlier methods, it is often
referred to as the OSHA Versatile Sampler (OVS). This specially designed
glass tube contains a filter to trap aerosols and a two-section sorbent bed
to adsorb vapors. All materials used in the construction of this tube are
cleaned and verified to ensure low background interference. Samples are usually
drawn at 1.0 L/min to obtain volumes ranging from 60 to 480 liters. The tubes
are then solvent extracted in toluene, acetonitrile, or acetone and analyzed
by GC or HPLC using electron capture, nitrogen/phosphorus, flame photometric,
or ultraviolet detectors. The specially constructed open glass tube is 75
mm long with a 13-mm outer diameter on the inlet end tapered to 8 mm on the
outlet end. To increase the versatility of this design, SKC has expanded
the OVS line to include tubes with variations in sorbents and filter combinations.
Other combinations of sorbents or filters following the OVS tube design
are available by special order for research or other specialty uses. Contact
SKC Sales with your tube specifications.

| OVS Tube Holder |
The OVS Tube Holder consists of a standard tube holder fitted
with a special durable protective cover for the OVS tube. A
collar clip fastened to the protective cover allows for easy
attachment
to a worker. A flexible metal coil surrounds the tubing just
below the holder and allows the tubing to bend without blocking
the airflow. The OVS Tube Holder is suitable for use with Universal
XR, AirChek® 2000, and AirChek 52 sample pumps.
OVS Tube
Holder includes fitting with durable protective cover, 3
feet of tubing, and collar clip. |
