Adapters and Sample Receptacles

There are two main types of sample receptacles:
1. Bottles & Other Open-top containers (in blue below)
2. Closed containers such as pressure cylinders and piston-injectors (in orange below)

There are two main differences between each type:

1. In principle, bottles and other open-top containers can’t hold any pressure. If pressure can’t be released and must therefore be contained, a closed container is thus required.
2. Exposure to toxic fumes and/or vapor cannot be avoided with bottles & other open-top containers. To guarantee absolutely no exposure, a closed container is therefore required.

The exception to # 2 above is our REVO-BOX: the sample is collected in a bottle and the cap is screwed back onto it in a totally closed environment. This eliminates any exposure for the operator or the environment.
