When conducting air sampling—particularly for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—choosing the right sampling material is essential. A commonly used option is the Tedlar bag. But are these gas sampling bags truly suitable for collecting VOCs? In this article, we take a closer look at the properties of Tedlar bags and explain why this […]
If you intend to reuse Tedlar bags, it is essential that they are cleaned properly. As mentioned in our previous blog, our recommendation is not to reuse Tedlar bags (or any other type of sampling bag such as multi-foil, Kynar, or Teflon bags). However, if you do choose to reuse them, please carefully follow the […]
Tedlar bags are used worldwide for the temporary storage of air and gas samples in applications such as odor research, emission measurements, and environmental analysis. A frequently asked question is: Are Tedlar bags reusable? Reuse is possible, but with important considerations Although Tedlar gas sampling bags can theoretically be reused, this is only recommended under […]
Volatile Organic Compounds (in Dutch VOS, vluchtige organische stoffen) are a broad class of organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They are found in a wide range of products, including paint, solvents, cleaning agents, air fresheners, and pesticides. VOCs can also be emitted by natural sources, such as plants and volcanoes. What substances […]
Below is a comparison of three different gas sample bags which we have availabe; the Tedlar bags, FEP (Teflon) bags and Multi Foil Bags. Besides these bags we can also deliver Kynar (PVDF) and Nalophan bags. If you want to receive a quotation or if you have any questions, please contact us. Tedlar bags FEP […]
