Method Name:
TB002-IR
Tedlar Bag IR Compound Scan
Marketing/Spec:
    Tedlar Bag IR Compound Scan is used to quickly and inexpensively identify what infrared active compounds are in the air. A Tedlar bag is used to collect a sample of air. After sampling, the Tedlar bag is sent to PATI for the identification of over 95 IR active organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, methane, ethane, propylene, and propane as well as many inorganic volatiles including NH3, HCl, HF, HBr, HCN, HI, CO, CO2, SiH4, and water.

    This method requires analysis within 48 hours. Sample collection requires either a personal monitoring pump or a vacuum chamber.
Features:
  • Cost effective
  • Easy shipping and handling
  • Reduced project time by quickly determining what compounds are present as well as what compounds are not present
  • Data reduction is performed by experienced, degreed chemists
Applications:
  • TWA Monitoring
  • Monitoring of work place background and exposure levels
  • Personal Exposure Monitoring
  • Sick building syndrome monitoring
  • Process changeover / process maintenance exposure
  • Sampling of enclosed areas
  • Surveying work areas
