Description

Vaportest Air Monitoring Badges are simple and effective devices that collect contaminants through the scientific principle of diffusion. They meet or exceed OSHA accuracy requirements of ±25% at 95% confidence level for many work contaminants.

Ethylene oxide is widely used to sterilise medical equipment and supplies. Exposure health effects can range from respiratory irritation to cancer and reproductive/mutagenic effects.

The Vaportest Ethylene Oxide Badges are ideal for all hospitals, veterinary clinics and sterile instrument manufacturers.

Exposure time: Anything from 15 minutes to 8 hours*

*Accurate exposure time must be recorded on the Analysis Request Form in order to be valid for analysis.

NEED FASTER RESULTS ?

VaportTest air monitoring badges offer an effective, easy-to-use option for assessing and managing contaminant exposure. With harmful chemical exposure a hazard and imminent inspections pending, test turnaround times can be critical.

Typically returned in 10-15 days, our standard analysis meets the requirements of most laboratories. However, for those requiring a quicker turnaround we offer a Fast Track service. Urgent analysis incurs an additional charge that guarantees results are processed as efficiently as possible.

1 day analysis from receipt of sample
2 – 3 day analysis from receipt of sample
5 day analysis from receipt of sample

Did you know? Once exposure is complete, our handy VaporTest badges can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 weeks before they need to be sent for analysis – a useful feature for busy labs and non-urgent analysis.
