Gastec 258S2-20 Activated Carbon Tube

Description

Gastec 258S2-20 Activated Carbon Tube in the field of air quality monitoring, the reliability of your data depends entirely on the efficiency of the collection media. The Gastec 258S2-20 Activated Carbon Tube utilizes high-quality activated charcoal, which acts as a powerful adsorbent for non-polar substances. This model is specifically designed for professionals who require a higher adsorption capacity than standard dual-layer tubes can provide.

The single-layer configuration with 800mg of charging material offers an expanded surface area, significantly reducing the risk of breakthrough in high-concentration scenarios. When air is drawn through the tube using a sampling pump, the organic vapors are trapped within the carbon pores. Because of its excellent physical adsorption properties, the Gastec 258S2-20 Activated Carbon Tube is the industry standard for collecting common solvents such as toluene, xylene, and various hydrocarbons for subsequent GC (Gas Chromatography) analysis.
