The patented† SKC PPI Sampler is similar to a traditional 37-mm cassette, collecting dust on a filter when a sample pump pulls air through it. But, that’s where the similarity ends! The PPI Sampler contains four small size-selective impactors in its inlet section that scrub non-respirable dust leaving only respirable dust to collect on a 37-mm collection filter for analysis.
