Accurate Determination of Dioxins, Furans, and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds
Overview
The Apex Instruments Method 23 Source Sampling Kit (Modified Method 5) is designed for the determination of dioxins and furans (D/Fs) as per EPA Method 23, and for semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) analysis under EPA Method 0010.
This system utilises a water-cooled glass condenser and an XAD sorbent module, combined with a knockout impinger to enhance sampling accuracy when added to a standard Method 5 system.
Key Features & Specifications
- Available in vertical and horizontal condenser configurations
- Standard and compact versions
- Knockout impinger assembly (short unground for horizontal MM5)
- Thick aluminium impinger case for durability
- Borosilicate glass or quartz nozzles and probe liners recommended
- XAD sorbent module must be wrapped in aluminium foil to shield from:
- Radiant heat
- Ultraviolet rays that may dechlorinate D/F isomers
- No sealing greases allowed; FEP-encapsulated O-ring seals are available and may be required by some agencies
- Heated flexible sample lines are required for the flexible train
The Method 23 Sampling Kit is a precision-engineered solution for compliance testing and research applications.
