Portable Field Samplers

The portable field sampler is an efficient and economical way of extracting and transporting volatile and semi-volatile compounds from field samples. The sampler can be reused 50-100 times, and is disposed when the fiber is no longer usable. Three fibers are available: a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Carboxen fiber for trace levels of volatiles, a general-purpose PDMS fiber, and a PDMS/DVB fiber for semi-volatiles and larger volatiles. Five slots in the needle guide/depth gauge control the depth of needle insertion into a sample container, or into the injection port during fiber desorption.
