Isoflurane

Method: IRSST - 285
Sampling device:
Sampling media required:
#IRSSTDescription
2120 Activated charcoal tube 100/50 mg

Parameters:
Flow rate: Max: 0,2 L/min
TWA sampling volume: 5 L
STEL sampling volume: -
Remarks: Isoflurane must be specifically sampled due to the specific analysis performed.
Principle: Gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID)
Precision (%): 4,3
Minimum reported value: 20 µg
Remarks: However, simultaneous sampling and analysis of halothane and enflurane is possible. A permissible exposure value (of TWA type) of 80 mg/m³ has been proposed by the Swedish National Board of Occupational Safety and Health.
