SKC 575 Series Passive Samplers
for Organic Vapors
SKC 575 Series Passive Samplers are small ready-to-use samplers that provide
superior collection of organic vapors without the use of a sample pump. SKC
has scientifi cally validated the sampling rates for many chemicals and other critical
sampling parameters of the 575 Series Passive Samplers to meet OSHA/ASTM/
ANSI requirements. SKC 575 Series Passive Samplers have been identifi ed as a viable
alternative to active sampling in six OSHA methods.
