The GilAir Plus personal air sampling pump offers a unique advantage for Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health & Safety professionals: the ability to conduct simultaneous high-flow and low-flow sampling methods using a single pump.
This innovative capability eliminates the need for deploying multiple pumps or scheduling additional sampling sessions, leading to:
- Reduced air sampling time and costs: By collecting two samples concurrently, you can halve the sampling duration compared to using separate pumps. This translates to significant cost savings in terms of labor, equipment rental, and sample analysis fees.
- Increased worker comfort: Workers no longer need to wear or carry multiple sampling pumps, improving their comfort and reducing encumbrance during their shift.
- Enhanced operational efficiency: Streamline your sampling workflow by eliminating the need for additional pump setup or return visits for second-day sampling.
Key Features of GilAir Plus Dual Flow Sampling:
- Single Pump, Dual Efficiency: The GilAir Plus pump’s high-flow constant pressure mode ensures consistent negative pressure across the sampling train, even when using two sampling media with different flow rate requirements. This eliminates the need for separate pumps and allows for independent adjustments to each media connection without affecting the other.
- Simplified Setup: The GilAir Plus connects seamlessly with the Gilian Dual Port High/Low Flow Manifold. This easy-to-use accessory enables the connection of two different sampling media, such as filter cassettes and sorbent tubes, for simultaneous collection.
- Broad Application Range: The Dual Port Manifold is suitable for various sampling scenarios, including:
- Heavy metal or asbestos fiber sampling using two filter cassettes at identical flow rates.
- Simultaneous sampling with a filter cassette and a sorbent tube.
- Other sampling methods that maintain consistent backpressure throughout the sampling duration.
