Badge Use

It is extremely easy to obtain accurate results for personal exposure and room concentrations. When the package is opened, the user records the time and additional information, such as name, work performed, etc. The badge is clipped near the breathing zone for personal monitoring or placed in the room for area monitoring. When the test is completed, the time is recorded and the badge is sealed in the original package and returned for analysis in the mailer provided. The laboratory measures the amount of the vapor collected. The monitoring badges are calibrated to directly give the time-weighted average concentratin (TWA) in parts per million (ppm). The TWA concentration is what is required for OSHA compliance.

Analysis results are available in 48 hours, or less. Results will be sent by FAX or phone on the same day that the exposed monitors are received, if a request is made. There is on additional charge.

The monitoring badges are manufactured and packaged so that the shelf life can be guaranteed for at least one year (6 months optimum for glutaraldehyde).

*The same badge can be used for 15 minute or 8 hour tests.
