Products
Canister rental and canister-based sampling kits
Rental and supply of evacuated canisters (various volumes) with flow-control hardware for grab or integrated VOC sampling; supplied as ready-to-use kits for field deployment.
Connected real-time monitoring station rental
Rental and deployment of connected stations for near real-time monitoring of particulate matter and selected gaseous indicators with remote data access and campaign dashboards, portable for temporary campaigns and integration with meteorological data.
Sampling supports, consumables and specialty kits
Supply of passive and active sampling supports (diffusive passive badges, passive samplers for NOx, badge samplers for gaseous mercury, sorbent tubes, DNPH cartridges, filters, foams, cyclones, zeolite tubes) and consumables required for environmental and occupational sampling campaigns.
Cyclone rental for respirable fraction sampling
Rental of cyclones for collection of respirable dust on filters at standard flows to support crystalline silica and respirable dust monitoring.
