SKC Ethylene Oxide Passive Sampler
Cat. No. 575-005
The SKC Ethylene Oxide Passive Sampler is a small ready-to-use sampler that provides superior collection of ethylene oxide (EtO) without the use of a sample pump. SKC has scientifi cally validated the sampling rate for EtO and other critical parameters of the SKC Ethylene Oxide Passive Sampler to meet OSHA/ANSI/ISEA requirements. The SKC Ethylene Oxide Passive Sampler contains the same sorbent that is specifi ed in active OSHA Method 1010.

1. Remove sampler from sealed pouch. Retain and set aside all other parts, including the desorption effi ciency tube(s).
2. Write the start time, date, and a user-assigned sampler ID number on the label on the back of the sampler.
3. Remove the lock, cap, and O-ring from the sampler and set aside. Clip sampler to worker’s clothing in the breathing zone. Ensure small holes are facing out.
Note: Sample the entire workshi to obtain a true 8-hour exposure. If breaks/lunch are part of the 8-hour workday or occur in the work area, samplers may remain sampling. If desired, the sampler can be removed for breaks/lunch and sealed with the provided cap. When the worker returns to the work area, replace the sampler on the worker’s clothing and remove the cap. Note the times the sampler is removed from and placed back on the worker to ensure accurate air volumes.
4. At the end of the desired sampling period, unclip the sampler from worker clothing. Push the O-ring, cap, and lock (removed during Step 3) onto the side of the sampler containing the holes.
5. Write the stop time on the label on the back of the sampler.
6. Carefully package the sampler and all other parts and send to an AIHA-accredited laboratory for analysis. If using an in-house laboratory, refer to the analysis instructions included in this package.
