Air sampling cassettes
LCS Laboratory Inc., offers multiple Air Sampling kits and rental equipment to our clients. We have prepared some step by step instructions on how to use air sampling pumps, cyclones, and other air sampling tools. This short instruction explains how to connect a cassette to a pump in the proper way, to avoid any loss of samples
Take a look at the two cassettes on the right image. Each cassette has two different ends: the inlet (in the picture, the inlet has a blue plug) and the outlet (red plug). The outlet is easy to identify by a “wagon wheel” pattern of air channels on the inner part of the cassette. The “Inlet” is the side of the cassette that is exposed to ambient air. Air enters the cassette through the inlet, and dust is accumulated on a filter membrane inside the cassette. Basic
Gilian Pump with cassette
assembly is shown in a picture on the right.
You connect the tubing from the air sampling pump to the outlet of the cassette to ensure proper sampling. This rule applies to all air sampling cassettes and pumps.
We always keep large stock of air sampling pumps, cassettes and holders. Please email us to discuss your next project.
