Particulate Sampling Size-selective Samplers
Sioutas Personal Cascade Impactor the Sioutas Impactor
Ad antage! Choose the personal-size Sioutas Impactor for the highly efficient collection of airborne particles in five size ranges:
> 2.5 μm 1.0 to 2.5 μm 0.50 to 1.0 μm 0.25 to 0.50 μm < 0.25 μm The advantage is the efficient collection of fine and ultrafine particles. Recent epidemiological studies show that fine and ultrafine particles may have greater pulmonary inflammatory potency than larger particles and associate increased morbidity and mortality with increased exposure to these particles. The Sioutas Impactor is the only personal impactor that precisely separates and collects coarse, fine, and ultrafine particles simultaneously.

ABOUT Filters for Sioutas Impactor The Sioutas Impactor uses four 25-mm filters (required) and one 37-mm filter (optional) for sampling. The 25-mm PTFE filters act as collection substrate and the optional 37-mm PTFE filter is the final collection filter (after-filter). SKC recommends PTFE filters ‡ for use in the Sioutas Impactor to minimize particle bounce and preserve unstable compounds. Coated collection substrate may be used if desired, however, a coating is not necessary and can interfere with chemical analysis. For more information on SKC filters, see pages 73-83.

Separates Coarse, Fine, and Ultrafine Particles Precise particle separation • Particle size cut-points: 2.5 μm, 1.0 μm, 0.50 μm, and 0.25 μm • The only personal impactor that efficiently samples coarse, fine, and ultrafine particles simultaneously • Maintains high collection efficiency even at high particle concentrations
Optimized at a 9 L/min flow rate with low pressure drop for 24-hour sampling • Improves analytical sensitivity • Minimizes non-detectable samples
Preserves unstable compounds • Chemically inert collection substrate • No impaction grease to contaminate sample
Minimal particle bounce and internal wall losses

The patented† personal-size Sioutas Cascade Impactor* separates and collects airborne particles in five size ranges: > 2.5 μm, 1.0 to 2.5 μm, 0.50 to 1.0 μm, 0.25 to 0.50 μm, and < 0.25 μm. When used with PTFE filters,‡ the Sioutas Impactor is highly efficient at collecting particles without the use of impaction grease or substrate coatings and at retaining unstable compounds for size-fractionated chemical analysis. Use the Sioutas Impactor with the Leland Legacy Sample Pump at 9 L/min to ensure precise particle separation at the specified cut-points. Particles above each cut-point are collected on a 25-mm filter in the appropriate stage with particles below 0.25 μm collecting on the 37-mm after-filter (optional). The small, lightweight Sioutas Impactor simply clips to a worker’s collar or lapel for personal sampling and is also suitable for area sampling.

The patented‡ SKC IMPACT single-stage inertial impactor is designed for the efficient collection of PM10, PM2.5, or PM Coarse (10-2.5) in ambient air. A sampling pump operating at 10 L/min draws PM through the impactor; larger particles are captured on a disposable pre-oiled impaction disc while smaller particles collect on a 47-mm filter. IMPACT media changes are as easy as removing the filter cassette and replacing it with one already loaded. The impaction disc fits into the top of the cassette. IMPACT’s higher flow rate requirement provides increased sensitivity for low levels of PM. For sampling efficiency data, go to www.skcinc.com/instructions/Modular_Impactors_Poster.pdf.
IMPACT Sampler Cat.

Limited shelf-life 225-395A Accessories PM Coarse Ring includes filter cassette, adapts IMPACT PM10 to an IMPACT PM Coarse 225-3912 Petri Dish Slide, for filter transport 225-2-01
While IMPACT can be used with any pump at 10 L/min, partnering IMPACT with the Leland Legacy sample pump provides a highly efficient sampling system. The quiet, fully programmable Leland Legacy pump can provide a constant 10 L/min flow rate for 24 hours making it ideal for environmental monitoring or indoor air studies. For more information on the Leland Legacy Sample Pump, see pages 22-23. IMPACT and the Leland Legacy Sample Pump are both included in the DPS Sampler System on page 24.
