Page 3: Introduction
QUI-1086 Introduction ACTI-VOC (part no. C-LFP-01 ) is a robust low-flow pump for sampling volatile organic ™ compounds (VOCs) onto sorbent tubes for subsequent analysis by thermal desorption (TD). Being lightweight, compact and intrinsically safe, ACTI-VOC is ideal for personal, workplace and indoor air monitoring. ACTI-VOC is optimised for sampling onto TD tubes, and automatically compensates for different impedances, ensuring constant flow rates whatever the sorbent packing. -

Page 10: Calibration
QUI-1086 Calibration Calibration (flow rate verification) must be performed before sampling to ensure the pump is working efficiently, and when setting the flow rate. As the pump is constant-flow, you need only set the flow rate at the beginning of your sampling period with the use of a calibration tube –... - Page 11 QUI-1086 ■ Connect the sampling end of the TD tube to a suitable flow-measuring device, e.g. digital flowmeter (part no. C-FLMTR ■ Turn on the flowmeter and the pump, and adjust the flow on the ACTI-VOC using the flat-bladed screwdriver provided with the ACTI-VOC (Figure 3).
