The SKC Deployable Cartridge Sampler (DCS) System is a compact, portable,
and ba ery-operated sampling system that ensures the ability to sample gaseous
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polyhalogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins
(PHDDs), and polyhalogenated dibenzofurans (PHDFs) and particulate-associated
PHDDs and PHDFs in ambient air. The system features the fully programmable
constant fl ow Leland Legacy Sample Pump and an easy-to-use sampling head
that houses a stainless steel cartridge. The cartridge can be loaded with a 47-mm
quartz fi lter and PUF (EPA TO-9A) or XAD
deployed system is packaged in a portable heavy-duty Pelican

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
A sample pump draws air at a fl ow rate of 10 L/min through nozzles on top of
the sampling head and into the cartridge. The cartridge is designed to be loaded
with a cleaned 47-mm quartz fi lter that collects particles and cleaned PUF or
XAD-2 sorbent that adsorbs gases and vapors. The aluminum foil-wrapped
cartridge is supplied in a PTFE jar so that the sample is protected from light and
contamination during transport. The fi lter and sorbent media are combined for
extraction followed by GC/MS analysis for EPA TO-13A or HRGC/HRMS for
EPA TO-9A.

MEDIA PREPARATION
For Laboratory Use
Use clean hexane-rinsed PTFE-tipped forceps to handle fi lters.
Wear disposable, clean, lint-free nylon or powder-free surgical gloves
to handle the sorbent and cartridge.
Quartz Filter: Prepare following the procedure outlined in EPA TO-9A or
TO-13A, Section 10.2.1. (h p://www.epa.gov/ namti1/airtox.html)
XAD-2 Sorbent: Purchase precleaned or use procedure outlined in EPA TO13A, Section 10.2.5.
PUF: Purchase precleaned or use procedure outlined in EPA TO-9A or TO-13A,
Section 10.2.4.
CARTRIDGE PREPARATION
For Laboratory Use
Use clean hexane-rinsed PTFE-tipped forceps to handle fi lters.
Wear disposable, clean, lint-free nylon or powder-free surgical gloves
to handle the sorbent and cartridge.
1. Rinse cartridge with appropriate organic solvent and allow to dry.
2. Ensure PTFE gasket 1, the stainless steel support screen 1, and PTFE
gasket 2 are in place on bo om cartridge cap.
3. Insert PUF or XAD-2 into the cartridge.
4. Ensure the PTFE gasket 3 and stainless
steel screen 2 are in place on cartridge
body top.
5. Using cleaned forceps, align quartz fi lter
with screen radially, and place PTFE
gasket 4 on top of fi lter. Thread top
cartridge cap onto cartridge.
6. Wrap the cartridge with hexane-rinsed
aluminum foil, place in supplied PTFE
jar, and label jar. Analyze (certify) at least
1 cartridge from each batch of cartridges
prepared using the procedure described
in Section 10.3 of EPA TO-9A or EPA
TO-13A (h p://www.epa.gov/ namti1/airtox.html) prior to fi eld use. See Section
10.3.8 for acceptable background levels.
Cartridges are considered clean for up to
30 days from date of certifi cation when
sealed in their containers.

Deployment of Cartridges for Field Sampling
Immediately prior to fi eld deployment, follow the procedure in EPA TO-9A or
TO-13A, Section 10.4.
SAMPLING HEAD PREPARATION
Cleaning the Sampling Head
All cleaning, loading, and unloading should be conducted in a controlled
environment to minimize any chance of potential contamination. When new
or when using the sampler at a diff erent location, all sample contact areas need
to be cleaned. Rinse with appropriate organic solvent. Allow the solvent to
evaporate before loading a cartridge.
For deployed applications where method-specifi ed solvents are
unavailable, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or a clean tissue wipe.
Do not place any mechanical object in the inlet nozzles.
O-ring Care for the Sampling Head
Visually inspect the condition of the BUNA-N exhaust O-ring (see illustration
on page 3 for location). Ensure the O-ring surface is smooth (i.e., without cracks,
cuts, or other damage). Ensure the O-ring is fi ed properly in its channel.
Replace the exhaust O-ring if there is apparent damage, stretching, or thinning.
It is recommended that the PTFE inlet O-ring be replaced by the manufacturer
only.

Inserting a Cartridge into the Sampling Head
4
1
Wear disposable, clean, lint-free nylon or powder-free surgical gloves
to handle the sorbent and cartridge.
1. Disassemble sampling head (see drawing
on page 3 for placement of parts).
Completely charge a new ba ery pack using the SKC-approved charger (Cat. No.
223-241) before operating the pump. It may be necessary to charge the ba ery a
few times before maximum ba ery capacity is achieved.
Cautions:
• Do not charge or operate pump with or without charger in hazardous
locations.
• Use only the SKC-approved charger for this pump. Use of an
unapproved charger may damage the ba ery and pump.
• Use of a non-approved charger voids any warranty.
• Do not open, disassemble, short circuit, crush, incinerate, or expose the
ba ery to fi re or high temperatures.
• Tampering with the ba ery pack voids any warranty.
• Ensure proper orientation of charging cable before plugging it into the
charging jack. Improper orientation/contact will short-circuit the ba ery
and voids any warranty.
• Short-circuiting the ba ery pack will render it immediately inoperative.
• Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
®
for Leland Legacy So ware
The ba ery pack may be kept on the SKC-approved charger for an
indefi nite time.
1. Insert the plug from the charging unit into the
charging port on the ba ery adapter (on top of the
external ba ery assembly).
2. Insert plug from power supply into the jack on the
charging unit.

A er charging the ba ery pack, it is good practice to run the pump for
approximately 5 minutes before calibrating. This ensures the ba ery is
in more steady-state conditions and improves the agreement in pre and
post-sampling calibrations.
