SKC Breath-gas Analysis Bags are ideal for collecting and storing human breath
samples. The samples are subsequently analyzed for volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) or volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). Breath-gas Analysis Bags are
constructed of FlexFoil
® PLUS, SamplePro ® FlexFilm, or Tedlar ® material. The special
stainless steel breath-gas fi tt ing with plastic mouthpiece allows easy sample collection
and facilitates sample removal by gas-tight syringe for gas chromatography (GC)
analysis.
Guidelines for Bag Sampling
1. Long-term storage of samples in bags is not recommended.
2. SKC sample bags are designed for sampling air at atmospheric pressure only.
Att empting to pressurize the bag can result in bag rupture and sample loss.
Do not ship bag samples by air freight in a non-pressurized cargo cabin. Bags
can burst under such conditions.
3. All federal and state packaging and transporting regulations apply.
4. Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
5. Do not reuse sample bags.
6. Due to the physical properties of the FlexFoil bag material, minor crimps
and creases may appear on bags during manufacturing, quality testing, and
user handling. These marks only aff ect the aesthetics of the bag and not its
performance. FlexFoil bags exhibiting minor crimps and creases are not subject
to replacement or refund.
7. Store SamplePro FlexFilm bags fl at. Do not roll or crease bags during storage.
8. Do not use sample bags to sample compounds with boiling points > 249.9 F
(121 C).
Wear gloves when handling the bag and fi ttings (photos are shown without gloves for clarity).
