CASELLA CEL LAUNCHES STOCK RANGE OF COST EFFECTIVE AIR SAMPLING CONSUMABLES

Casella CEL has launched a stock range of cost effective consumable products to complement its high performance personal air sampling systems for measuring employees exposure to dusts, fumes, gases or vapour.

The company is now holding large quantities of Colour Detection Tubes, GFA, MCE, PTFE and PVC Filters, Sorbent Sampling Tubes (Charcoal, Silica Gel, Anasorb, XAD), as well as Air Sampling Heads and Accessories at its production facility located in Bedfordshire.

The air sampling process takes a volume of air through a sampling medium. This is normally paper or solid filter media for particulates and fumes, and through sorbent materials for gases and vapours. Impingers and bubblers can also be used, or a grab sample taken into a gas sampling bag. The volume of air is measured and calculated as a concentration expressed as mg / m3 or parts per million (ppm).

Casella CEL now offers a complete suite of sampling media for particulates, dusts and fumes. These include a wide selection of filters which are used in conjunction with sampling heads or as integral sampling cassettes.

A variety of sampling heads and cassettes are available for asbestos, total inhalable, respirable and other dust fractions.

Solvents, gases and vapours are sampled actively using air sampling pumps and sorbent tubes, into bubblers, gas bags or passively using diffuse sampling badges.

Direct reading colour detection tubes are glass vials filled with chemical reagents that react to a specific chemical or family of chemicals.
