#IRSSTDescription
2120 Activated charcoal tube 100/50 mg

Parameters:
Flow rate: Max: 0,2 L/min
TWA sampling volume: 4 L
STEL sampling volume: -
Principle: Gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID)
Minimum reported value: 320 µg
Remarks: The analysis can be done by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS, IRSST method #369); in this case the analytical uncertainty (CVa) is 5.4%.
