Accuracy
KIN-TEK Trace Source™ permeation tubes are reliable
and
accurate.
Because the calibration standard delivered by the permeation tube
method is used fresh (i.e., dynamically), adsorption and reaction problems are minimized.
Compliance
Our customers are increasingly concerned about compliance
issues, OSHA,
ISO 9000, GMP, and other industry requirements. Addressing these
concerns, KIN-TEK supplies a certificate documenting traceability to
NIST
with every certified Trace Source™ permeation tube. Each tube
is numbered and its emission rate is kept on file at KIN-TEK for up to
5 years
KIN-TEK also provides Technical
Services for permeation tube recertification, annual instrument recertification,
and periodic on-site calibration to help you maintain compliance with
your internal standards.
Safety
Trace Source™ permeation tubes are very small
compared to
high pressure gas cylinders (disposable tubes are about the size of a
pencil). Permeation tubes
contain only a small amount of chemical thus limiting the possibility of acute exposure.
Eliminate The Danger of High Pressure Cylinders
Trace Source™ permeation tubes eliminate the hazards of
handling high pressure cylinders. They contain analyte only under its
own vapor pressure and have no valves to break off. Permeation tubes do
not require special equipment to handle or transport them.
Most permeation tubes
can be shipped worldwide as non-hazardous goods.
Savings
One Trace Source™ permeation tube can often replace
10 or
more gas cylinders. When used in a KIN-TEK Gas Standards Generator, one
Trace Source™ permeation tube can typically deliver concentrations over
a range of 20:1 with primary dilution and 10000:1 (or more) with secondary dilution.
