Catalog No. 228-9605 and 228-9605B
The Vac-U-Go non-compensating vacuum pump is a rotary vane-type pump
that provides flows up to 30 L/min and maintains sonic flow when used with the
BioSampler. AC-powered, the Vac-U-Go Sampling Pump can be used for a variety
of ambient and indoor air sampling applications including asbestos, bioaerosol,
stack, VOC, and fenceline monitoring. It is ideal for sampling bioaerosols using
the SKC BioSampler or the AGI-30 Impinger.
The line-operated Vac-U-Go Sampling pump has a permanently lubricated motor
that is mounted in a housing with a vacuum pressure gauge to indicate sonic flow
and a throttling valve to adjust flow. Both models are supplied with an extension
rod for mounting media and a power cord.

  • Page 2 Cautions • Pump only clean, dry air. • Protect pump from dirt and moisture. • Pump is not intended for use outdoors. • Protect surrounding items from pump exhaust air. • Use only a three-wire grounded cable. • Pump produces a high-pitched whine when operated. • Do not pump flammable or explosive gases.
  • Page 3 4. Sample for the desired sampling period. 5. Turn off pump and unplug from wall outlet. 6. Package sample appropriately for shipment to a laboratory (see BioSampler Operat- ing Instructions). Note: Sonic flow is attained when a vacuum pump pulls air through an orifice to create a condi- tion where the downstream pressure is 52% of the upstream pressure.
