Air Monitoring 43
Improve sampling and detection of carbonyls in air
Particulate matter sensor is now available globally
The SPS30 particulate matter sensor is now available worldwide through Sensirion’s distribution network. The SPS30 particulate matter (PM) sensor is the next technological breakthrough in optical PM sensors. Its measurement principle is based on laser scattering and makes use of Sensirion’s innovative contamination- resistance technology. This technology, together with high-quality and long-lasting components, enables accurate measurements from its first operation and throughout its lifetime of more than eight years. In addition, Sensirion’s advanced algorithms provide superior accuracy for different PM types and higher-resolution particle size binning, opening up new possibilities for the detection of different sorts of environmental dust and other particles. With dimensions of only 41 x 41 x 12 mm3, it is the perfect solution for applications where size is of paramount importance, such as wall-mounted or compact air quality devices.
Traditional optical PM sensors suffer from contamination, which causes output degradation. Contamination results from continued dust and particle accumulation on the sensor’s optical components, namely the light source (usually a laser or LED) and the photodetector. Consequently, devices integrating these PM sensors stop working correctly after some time, which results in malfunctions, user complaints, maintenance, service and/or part replacement. Sensirion’s proprietary contamination-resistance technology and long-lasting components provide the SPS30 with unmatched robustness, unique long-term stability and high accuracy, together with a lifetime of more than eight years in continuous mode operating 24 hours/day.

Achieve sensitive and reliable results with air sampling media for a wide range of applications in various configurations for solvent desorption, thermal desorption, passive and whole air sampling from Supelco. Ensure low background for carbonyl sampling with products that are produced to the highest quality standards in a carbonyl controlled manufacturing environment that is complemented by high- purity solvents and calibration standards.
The sampling of aldehydes and ketones requires an on-site derivatization on a coated adsorbent e.g. with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH). Supelco’s product range includes the low back pressure DNPH (LpDNPH) cartridges (available in 6 different configurations and 16 products) for active sampling, which ensure longer pump operation, glass tubes (ORBO™) and DNPH coated filters as well as devices with otherwise coated adsorbents for sampling carbonyls.
Our product range is suitable for OSHA, NIOSH, ASTM, EPA and CARB methods. For a complete overview on air monitoring from Sigma-Aldrich, visit

LpDNPH Products
LpDNPH cartridges are air sampling devices designated for sampling carbonyls (e.g. formaldehyde) in ambient, indoor and industrial atmospheres. Carbonyls are trapped on a high-purity adsorbent coated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine where they are converted to hydrazone derivatives. The derivatives are eluted from the cartridge with acetonitrile and analyzed by HPLC, in most cases. Select LpDNPH products are vacuum packaged in our low-background storage bag to ensure purity.

The Rapidox 1100and Rapidox 2100range of oxygen analysers are particularly suitable for applicationssuch as inert gas blanketing, additive manufacturing, glove boxes, metal heat treatment and research and development projects.
There are two types of oxygen sensors used in the Rapidox gas analyse range, these include zirconia and electrochemical, although the majority of the Rapidox gas analysers use a zirconia-based sensor.

A zirconia oxygen sensor is ideal for the analysis of oxygen within high temperature applications or metal heat treatment, zirconia sensors can also be used to detect vacuum leaks within chambers or glove boxes. The sensor has a very fast response time combined with extremely accurate readings at low oxygen levels, which is suitable for low ppm to 100% gas analysis. In addition, they are robust and have a long lifespan of over thirty-five thousand hours. Typically, the sensors are coated internally and externally with platinum electrodes at temperatures more than 450o
begin to conduct oxygen ions by generating a voltage between the electrodes. The value of the voltage is dependant on the differences between the partial pressures of the oxygen in the sample and within the reference gas. Rapidox oxygen analyser interprets this difference to display an oxygen concentration.
However, there are some environments that the zirconia oxygen sensor is not suited, which is why Cambridge Sensotec have developed Rapidox units with electrochemical sensors.
An electrochemical sensor is best suited to applications where explosive gases are present such as hydrocarbons, or where there is a presence of volatile organic gases compounds (VOCs). They also perform well in helium and hydrogen and are suited for use in hazardous areas. Electrochemical sensors are available for oxygen analysis on a scale of either 0.1ppm to 1% or 0-100%. Most of these sensors have two electrodes, a ‘sensing’ and ‘counter’ which are divided by a thin electrolyte coat. When gas enters the sensor there is an oxidisation reaction that is directly proportional to the gas concentration. The Rapidox oxygen analyser interprets this current into an oxygen reading.

to 5000ppm with minimal detection limits averaging from 0.05ppb to 0.5ppm. To ensure accordance with the sample conditions, the nCLD 800 Series is modularly designed, thus providing tailor-made solutions. For instance, a dual sample inlet, two parallel gas flow streams with heated sample lines, two reaction chambers with specialized metal converters, an internal pump and pressure regulation, are only a few possi- ble adaptations. Furthermore, the nCLD 822 CMhr with its cat- alytic converter allows a specific assessment of the ammonia slip in SCR systems.
