Umex 400 Amines
Amines Passive Sampler: UMEx 400
The UMEX 400 Passive Sampler for Amines was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Working Life in Umea, Sweden. Constructed of tough polypropylene, the UMEX 400 contains a tape impregnated with 1-naphthyl-isothiocyanate (NITC) for reliable collection of amines.
