Specifying your Air Sampling System 

Use the Equipment Configuration Table and Air Sampling Guide to select the components needed for your air sampling system:

• 1. Look up the specific airborne material you are sampling in the Air Sampling Guide and note the Configuration Code in the last column. 
• 2. Compare the Configuration Code from the last column with the table below to find the recommended collection media, media holder and/or appropriate accessories.
• 3. Select a Gilian air sampling pump and appropriate air flow calibrator.
