Andersen air sampler -- Andersen Instruments Incorporated.

Andersen Instruments (formerly known as Graseby Andersen) is a manufacturer of environmental monitoring products. Andersen Instruments specializes in particle sizing, air toxics, source particulate and ambient particulate monitoring (real-time continuous monitors for both particles and toxic gas exposure). Products: Particulate sampling equipment for capturing specific sized particles for subsequent analysis- Fine Particle Samplers. Ambient Air Particulate Samplers (Portable Air Samplers, PUF Sampler). Particle Sizing Impactors. Source Samplers. Gas Sampling for Hazardous Air Pollutants- AVOCS, Summa Canisters, PUF Sampler, Gas Sampling Bags. Air Sampling Canisters - Electropolished, Stainless Steel SUMMA Canisters for collect trace levels of air toxics. PUF (Polyurethane Foam) Sampler - The PUF sampling system is designed for sampling semivolatile organic compounds, such as pesticide compounds. AVOCS (Ambient Volatile Organic Collection System) collects whole ambient air samples for subsequent laboratory analysis of volatile organic compounds.

Analytical Instrumentation- 3550A and 8533A sample handling devices. The Nutech's 3550A conforms to compendium methods TO-1, TO-2, TO-12, TO-14 and ozone precursor analysis. The Nutech 8533A Concentrator is the multipurpose device and the universal Sample Concentrator for VOCs.
