What is sorbent tube sampling?

Sorbent tube sampling is an air sampling method used to monitor for hazardous gases and vapours in the air.

The SKC range features over 100 sorbent tubes for different chemical hazards. The SKC Inc air sampling guides provide further information on chemicals, methods, sampling equipment, and analytical methods.
