* Sampling times when using spore traps are usually ≤ 10 min. SKC
recommends reducing length of sample time when using a 30 L/min
flow rate to prevent overloading the media.
† Results obtained using a new pump and new fully charged batteries. Pump
performance may vary.
The AC charger/adapter can be used to extend battery run
time, but it is not a battery eliminator. Therefore, it will
not provide indefinite run times.
