Introduction
Description
The QuickTake
®
30 Sample Pump (Figure 1) is a portable battery-powered air sample pump that maintains constant airflow from
10 to 30 L/min for use with the BioStage
cassettes, or other samplers requiring flows up to 30 L/min. A diaphragm pump operating with a closed loop flow control system, the
QuickTake 30 maintains true constant flow. The QuickTake 30 features a programmable timer that provides up to eight programmable
run time presets of 1 to 999 minutes, continuous run with manual shut-off, or intermittent sampling. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery
pack provides effective run times. See Appendix: Performance Profile - Typical Cumulative Run Time.

  • Page 13 Li-Ion Battery Testing and Shipment Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for use with SKC sample pumps have been tested in accordance with the UN Manual and are proven to meet requirements of each test in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3. The batteries are rated below 100 watt-hours (Wh).
