1 CAS no. or Chemical Abstract Service No. – An internationally recognized unique
identifier of chemical compounds. The CAS no. is listed on Material Safety Data
Sheets (MDS).

N/A – Not applicable: This lamp cannot be used to detect this analyte because the
ionization energy of the compound is greater than the energy of the lamp.
NOTE:
VOC Response factors apply in the 0-500 ppm range. The values in this table were ob-
tained using dry bottled gases at 25 °C. The response factors may change at higher con-
centrations, different temperature and humidity conditions, or with cleanliness of lamp. For
increased accuracy at different ambient conditions or concentrations, determine a custom
response factor and enter it via the Response Factor page; see 4.3.3 Selecting a
Custom Response Factor. These response factors are specific to the energy of the lamp
designated in the table. They are not valid for instruments using PID bulbs at any other
energy. Using these response factors with a lamp at any other energy may critically
compromise the instrument's ability to detect organic compounds.
