Sampling
Tips and advice on setting up a sampling train (the sample pump with a filter) can be found in the
SKC Step by Step guide.
The process of loading a filter paper and calibrating this sampling train is similar to the set up
required for inhalable dust sampling using an IOM sampler.
If you do not have this guide, a free copy can be downloaded from the SKC website at -

Loading the filter paper
The IOM comprises a two piece cassette and
the filter is loaded into the cassette which is
then placed inside the sampler.
The front cover of the sampler is then
screwed onto the thread of the body.

paper within an IOM Sampler.
Note that the filter is cream/ white in
colour.
A blue paper if present is a separator
only and is not used in sampling.
