    Description The QuickTake 30 Sample Pump is a portable battery-powered air sampling ® pump that maintains constant airflow from 10 to 30 L/min for use with impactors, spore trap cassettes such as VersaTrap, asbestos cassettes, or other samplers requiring flows to 30 L/min. A diaphragm pump operating with a closed loop flow control system, the QuickTake 30 maintains true constant flow.
