Chromosorb Sorbent Tubes

Chromosorb is a porous polymer sorbent. Chromosorb 106 is used to trap low-boiling hydrocarbons, benzene, labile compounds, and volatile oxygenated compounds. This hydrophobic sorbent is the least polar polymer in the Chromosorb family and is functionally similar to Anasorb 727. Chromosorb 102 is used to trap chlorine-containing pesticides.

To select a tube for a specific compound refer to the SKC Sampling Guides or use the SKC online Hazard Database
