Carole Sustak Marketing Communications Supervisor 3M Occupational Health & Safety Products Division 3M 105780 3M In response to you and your workers The first maintenance-free 3M 105781 3M Brand ORGANIC V\POR MONITOR 3500 Makes monitoring easier for everyone involved from planning through purchase through analysis 3M Brand Organic Vapor Monitor 3500 is maintenance-free. An economic and time-saving benefit for those who must allocate budget to buy the monitor as well as for those who must administer the program. For wearers, it's lightweight, self-contained and comfortably worn on the collar to measure TW.A. concentrations over a period of 8 hours or less. Compact, lightweight design helps assure worker acceptance. Ready-to-use No equipment preparation or calibration. Saves time, labor and money. No spare parts inventory to tie up capital and space. Maintenance-free, single use unit. No cleaning or worry about contamination hold-over. Low initial cost. Exceeds OSHA accuracy requirements. Will measure recommended compounds at their action levels or below Lightweight, pumpless Self-contained. No expensive pumps. No interference with normal work procedure. Conveniently clips to collar close to breathing zone. Provides precise measurement of personal exposure. Vapors sampled at constant rates. Simplified monitoring procedure. Hygienist can work through trained aides in remote locations. Lower hygienist cost per sample. In cases of an on-location hygienist, a greater number of samples can be taken in a given period Internal desorption Sample is sealed within mot to prevent unintentional contamination after the monitoring period. Desorption occurs in the clc monitor. Eliminates potential inaccuracies due to sorbent transfer. Eliminates time in handling ; analysis preparation. 3M 105782 "tally, for laboratory personnel, there's the ease id accuracy of analysis, (Desorption is ;rformed inside the monitor.) 3M provides tmplete calculation data to your laboratory, 3M so offers a specialized analysis for the monitor. >00 offers a unique combination of benefits, and 3re's at least one benefit for everyone involved in 3 overall monitoring cycle from purchase through alysis. Conventional analysis Uses conventional gas chromatographic analysis as outlined in NIOSH Physical & Chemical Analytical Method 127. To speed and assure analysis consistency, 3M offers an Analytical Service or can provide complete standardized calculation data, including sampling rate and recovery coefficient. To obtain this information for your laboratory, complete and send the request card contained in every monitor shipping box.

If you prefer to use sources other than 3M, complete qualification and calculation data can be provided for a variety of compounds including but not limited to: Acetone Hexane Acrylonitrile Benzene (AssoMion Oil ppm) Carbon Tetrachloride Methyl Ethyl Ketone Styrene Toluene Chloroform Trichloroethylene Ethyl Acetate Vinyl Chloride Heptane Xylene 4. The white face and retaining ring are removed after monitoring. 1. As the first step in analysis, the eluent is injected through the center port. 5. The closure cap is snapped into place and the ports are firmly closed. 6. Specific data and comments are written on the package. 7. The monitor is placed inside the package which is folded and sealed with the closure tube. 2. The port is closed. The sample Is desorbed for 'h hour with occasional gentle agitation. 3. Both ports are opened and the pour spout can be inserted. The solution is poured into the sampler vial. 4. Sample analysis is by conventional gas chromatography and use of the 3M qualification data. 3M 105785 AIHA ACCREDITED Backed by the expertise of 3M -- MONITOR ANALYTICAL SERVICE The easy, accurate system The same expertly staffed and fully equipped laboratory which developed the 3500 Organic Vapor Monitor can also provide complete gas chromatographic analysis. The complete 3M package is offered for your convenience. It provides an economical and efficient means to get results quickly and accurately. The corrugated shipping box in which the monitors are initially packaged is also a ready-to-use return mailing carton to 3M. Monitors are packaged ten to a box. 72-Hour Lab Turnaround Time At 3M, samples will be carefully analyzed and you can be confident of the results. A written confidential report on each monitor will be quickly returned to you. 3M offers 72-hour lab turnaround time. The reports will also be kept on file for your future reference.
