About This Product
The passive gas tube (for organic solvents) simply extracts organic
solvents in the air, and is an Omni-directional sampler that can
measure the density of each substance in the environment.
This sampler samples organic solvent gas in the air, by making the
gas touched to a granular activated carbon provided in the tube
through a pore of PTFE.
After extracting this out by a solvent of carbon disulfide, you make
analysis using a gas chromatography (called as GC).
Pumps, flow meters, and other equipment are not required. Simply
leave the passive gas tube in the environment to measure for a certain
period, and the chemicals of interest will be adsorbed spontaneously.
The tube is lightweight and easy to handle.
Therefore it is suitable for the use of screening such as indoor
concentration measurement and indoor environment measurement.

Instructions for Use
When handling the passive gas tube, be careful not to touch
the PTFE tube.
zSampling (adsorption in the passive gas tube)
(1) Cut open the aluminum bag with scissors or something similar
(Markings on the aluminum bag indicate where to cut.). The bag
contains the passive gas tubes individually packaged in aluminum.
Keep any bags not immediately used stored away from direct sunlight,
high temperatures, and high humidity.
(2) Just before sampling, cut the small aluminum bag at the cut mark
indicated with an arrow (can be cut by hand), open the zip lock seal,
and remove the passive gas tube. Then place the tube in the special
holder (sold separately).
Note: The small aluminum bag includes a notation area for recording the measurement
point or other information. When writing down, use a pencil, which has little effect
on measurements, and avoid using an ink pen.
Indoor Concentration Measurements
Attach the passive gas tube to the sampling holder. It is set at
1.2-1.5m above the floor and exposed for 24 hours.
Personal Exposure Concentration Measurements
Attach the passive gas tube to the
separately available special holder.
Then attach this to the person's
collar or somewhere else. Leave
the tube there for 24 hours. When
the person is sleeping, place it at
their bedside.
Open Air Concentration Measurements
The passive gas tube is set around 1.8m from the ground and it is
exposed for 24 hours.
(3) After exposure, immediately return the passive gas tube to the small
aluminum bag, seal the zip lock, and store the bag in a refrigerator.

Analysis Procedure
Extraction and analysis requires technical expertise
regarding chemical analysis.
Inexperienced operators should always perform
extraction and analysis work under the supervision
of an experienced operator or outsource the process
to an analysis and measurement service provider
qualified to do so. In addition, precautionary
measures, such as wearing protective gear or
preventing fires, are required for handling the
hazardous or highly volatile substances described
below. Therefore, obtain and reference an SDS or
other relevant safety information in advance.
zPreparing Standard Solutions
This product is designed for use with hazardous
and highly volatile substances. Implement
appropriate precautionary measures.
A standard undiluted solution of an object substance is extracted in a
volumetric flask, and it is diluted with the respective attachment and
removal solvents. The standard solution is prepared as above.
Toluene Standard Undiluted Solution （8.7mg/mL）
Put Toluene 1mL in a volumetric flask, and add a carbon disulfide,
dissolve and make it the whole quantity of 100 mL.
zPreparing Calibration Curves
This product is designed for use with hazardous
and highly volatile substances. Implement
appropriate precautionary measures.
Prepare a series of about five dilution levels from each standard solution.
Inject the series of standard solution dilutions spike 1μL into GC and
measure the peak area (or peak height) of target substances.
Repeat this process to determine a mean value.
Calculate the slope and intercept of the regression line from the
concentrations of the solutions corresponding to the chromatogram peak
height or peak area values using the least squares method or some
other means. At this point, the indicated coefficient of correlation for the
two variables must be close to 1.

zAnalyzing Samples
This product is designed for use with hazardous
and highly volatile substances. Implement
appropriate precautionary measures.
In a clean location, remove the passive gas tube used for sampling from
its aluminum bag.
Picking up an aluminum ring of a
passive gas tube lightly by pliers,
make them transformed and pull out
a PTFE cap.
Taking out Urethane from the inside
of a tube where a cap was removed,
transfer the Activated Carbon to a
Bayer Bottle.
Put removal solvent (such as carbon
disulfides) 2 mL in a Bayer Bottle
with activated carbon correctly by a
whole pipette, and shake it.
When using shaking unit, you shake the unit for 1 hour, and when you
don’t use a shaking unit, you just leave it for about 2 hours, and thus a
sample solution is made (you shake lightly several times during
leaving.).
Analyze the sample solution in the same manner as described in
"Preparing Calibration Curves" to determine the quantities of target
substances collected based on the calibration curve.
zCalculating Concentrations
Calculate the concentrations of target substances being measured using
the following formula.
Formula
Formula 1
zC = Substances to measure (ppm)
zWa = Collected quantity of target substances based on the calibration curve (μg/2 mL)
zWb = Blank value (μg/2 mL)
zSR = Factor of proportionality for each substance (sampling rate) (μg/(ppmxmin))
Note: Please refer to the table in page 10, or use the value calculation by the formula on page 12.
zt = Sampling time (min)

Note: Those material sampling rates, which aren’t indicated on this table, are calculated by
the “Sampling Rate Calculation Procedure” in the next page.
The passive gas tube is influenced by the temperature,
humidity, and the wind velocity, because it is a sampler using
the molecule spread.
In case of high accuracy measurement is required, you are
recommended to find the sampling rate according to “Sampling
Rate Calculation Procedure” in the next page at each
measurement site.

Sampling Rate Calculation Procedure
Extraction and analysis requires technical expertise
regarding chemical analysis.
Inexperienced operators should always perform
extraction and analysis work under the supervision
of an experienced operator or outsource the process
to an analysis and measurement service provider
qualified to do so. In addition, precautionary
measures, such as wearing protective gear or
preventing fires, are required for handling the
hazardous or highly volatile substances described
below. Therefore, obtain and reference an SDS or
other relevant safety information in advance.
zRequired Tools and Materials
zPassive gas tube (for organic solvents)
zCharcoal tube (single layer type)
zSampling suction pump (something by which 100mL/min gas sample
is possible.)
zConnecting tube (fluorine tube etc.)
zFlow meter (regular flow meter by which 100mL/min measurement is
possible, bubble film flow meter.)
zSampling Procedure
At a location typical of the measurement site, perform sampling using
the charcoal tube (sampling via the suction pump) and passive gas tube
for the same amount of time.
Position the charcoal tube sampling port near the passive gas tube.
zSampling Rate Calculation
In the same way as described in the "Analysis Procedure" section,
determine the atmospheric concentration from the collected quantity of
target substances calculated from the calibration curve.
The concentration obtained from the charcoal tube will be Ca (ppm), and
the collected quantity for the passive gas tube will be Wp (μg).
If the sampling time is t (min), then the sampling rate SR (μg/(ppmxmin))
can be calculated from the following formula.
