Ghost Wipes

Sample Lead and Other Metals on Surfaces

SKU
GWIPES
Ghost Wipes sample lead and other metals on rough surfaces and dissolve completely for maximum recovery of target analyte(s). The wipes are effective at collecting antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, vanadium, and zinc. Ghost Wipes meet ASTM E1792 and OSHA Method ID-125G specifications for surface sampling.
 
Robust Ghost Wipes hold together even when used on the roughest surfaces. In the lab, Ghost Wipes readily and completely dissolve during digestion for maximum recovery of target analyte(s). Ghost Wipes dissolve so completely, there is no messy fibrous material to clog the sample uptake capillary or nebuliser. Ghost Wipes are included in the wipe sample test kit (Cat. No. 225-2401A).
