Individual Dust Sampler CIP10

The Individual Dust Sampler CIP10 is a professional-grade air sampling instrument designed for occupational exposure assessment in industrial environments. This Individual Dust Sampler collects airborne particulate matter in the respirable (PM4), thoracic (PM10), and inhalable (PM100) fractions, providing accurate samples for laboratory analysis and industrial hygiene studies.

Compact, lightweight, and battery-powered, the CIP10 ensures reliable full-shift sampling directly within the worker’s breathing zone. The collected samples support gravimetric analysis and chemical characterization, including respirable crystalline silica (RCS) determination.

 

Why Choose the Individual Dust Sampler CIP10?

The Individual Dust Sampler CIP10 provides highly representative exposure data by sampling airborne particles directly in the operator’s breathing zone. This approach ensures accurate evaluation of workplace exposure conditions in real operating environments.

Industrial hygienists, safety engineers, and laboratories rely on this Individual Dust Sampler to assess dust exposure in mining, construction, metallurgy, cement production, and chemical industries.

With a weight of only 300 g and an operating autonomy of up to 26 hours, the CIP10 supports long-duration sampling campaigns without interruption.


How Does the Individual Dust Sampler CIP10 Work?

The Individual Dust Sampler uses a rotating polyurethane foam system that simultaneously generates airflow and captures airborne particles.

Depending on the selected configuration, the device operates at:

  • 10 L/min for respirable (PM4) and inhalable (PM100) sampling
  • 7 L/min for thoracic (PM10) sampling

This controlled flow ensures stable and reproducible sampling conditions. After collection, laboratories process samples using gravimetric, chemical, or thermal methods depending on the analytical protocol.


Versions of the Individual Dust Sampler CIP10

The CIP10 range includes several models adapted to different sampling strategies:

Model Fraction Flow Rate
CIP10-R Respirable (PM4) 10 L/min
CIP10-T Thoracic (PM10) 7 L/min
CIP10-I Inhalable (PM100) 10 L/min
CIP10-M Bioaerosols Liquid collection

The CIP10-M version enables microbiological sampling by collecting airborne microorganisms in a liquid medium for laboratory identification and analysis.

Calibration of the Individual Dust Sampler

Accurate airflow calibration is essential to ensure reliable sampling results.

For this purpose, we recommend the OmniFlow Calibration Bench, designed for calibration of personal sampling pumps and CIP10 sampling heads. Its mass flow technology ensures stable, repeatable, and traceable calibration before and after each sampling campaign.
