LpDNPH Products (ordering information) back to top

LpDNPH cartridges are air-sampling devices designated for sampling carbonyls (e.g. formaldehyde) in ambient, indoor, and industrial atmospheres. Carbonyls are trapped on a high purity silica adsorbent coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine,where they are converted to hydrazone derivatives. The derivatives are eluted from the cartridge with acetonitrile and analyzed by HPLC.


Features & Benefits of LpDNPH cartridges:
  • High purity adsorbent for better accuracy and trace analysis.
  • High sensitivity, low background.
  • Low pressure drop, enables use at high sampling rates (1.5-2 L/min)
  • New packaging, for maximum sample integrity
  • Manufactured in controlled environment
  • Meet EPA, OSHA, NIOSH and ASTM specifications

    BPE-DNPH* Cartridge– NEW! back to top

    bpe dnph sampling cartridge
    *Patent pending

    The BPE-DNPH cartridge is dual-layered and is comprised of silica gels impregnated with trans-1,2-
    bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) as the top layer and the bottom layer of DNPH coated silica gel. The BPE acts by retaining the ozone for analysis or scrubbing from your sample depending on your choice extraction method. The DNPH layer collects carbonyls for analysis. Not affected by high humidity.


    Benefits
  • Dual ozone and aldehyde analysis
  • Integrated ozone scrubber
    • No extra connections
    • No leaking connections
  • Not affected by high humidity
  • Low Background
  • Technical Resources
