Robust and easy-to-use soil gas sampler.
The VOC-Mole is a stainless steel assembly that is inserted into the ground, allowing soil gas to be sampled onto a sorbent tube, for analysis by thermal desorption (TD)–GC–MS.
The VOC-Mole is simple to use and easy to transport, and perfect for any analyst wishing to monitor levels of volatile organic compounds in soil.
Features:
- Organic pollutants pass through holes in the hollow tube and are collected on a sorbent tube.
- Probe can be left in ground for long periods.
- Compatible with diffusive and pumped sampling.
- Use of multiple VOC-Moles in a grid arrangement allows the creation of VOC maps.
- Special cap prevents ingress of water, wildlife and soil debris.
- Various pack sizes and probe lengths available.
Applications:
- Surveys of industrial, waste and brownfield sites.
- Screening of organic pollutants over large areas.
- Pinpointing of leaks from pipelines and industrial facilities.
Diffusive Monitoring – A Cost-Effective and Quantitative Approach to Environmental Monitoring
In this poster, thermally desorbed diffusive tubes have been shown to be viable ambient air samplers. Their sampling mechanism is well understood/validated, and TD-GC(MS) analytical methods developed for pumped sorbent tubes can be applied. They offer several advantages over pumped sorbent tubes in terms of simplicity, reduced variability, cost, extended sampling times and minimal water interference
VOC Air Monitoring Technology and its Application to
In this Application Note we summarise developments that allow sorbent-tube-based sampling technology to be used to monitor volatile organic chemicals in contaminated land.
