The Button Sampler, with its porous curved-surface inlet, is designed to improve the collection characteristics of inhalable dust, including bioaerosols for viable or non-viable analysis. Use the Button Sampler for low-level personal or area sampling of inhalable dust.
Features
- 4 L/min flow rate enhances sensitivity
- Closely follows the ISO 7708/CEN sampling criteria
for inhalable particulate mass at
4 L/min
- Low sensitivity to wind direction and velocity
- Stainless steel construction reduces electrostatic effects
- Small and lightweight for personal sampling
- Inlet design reduces oversampling of very large particles
- Can collect bioaerosols for
viable or non-viable analysis
- Kit available for sampling heavy metals
during abrasive blasting
- Autoclavable
- Ideal for personal and area sampling

The Button Sampler closely follows the ISO 7708/CEN inhalability
curve at 4 L/min. This provides optimum sampling. |
** |
A filter pore size of 1.0 µm or larger is recommended for use with
the Button Sampler to reduce back pressure. |
