TCR-Tecora products

The design concept of the Multistage Viable Impactor evolves from the following information: The human respiratory system tract is an aerodynamic classifying system for airborne particles. A sampling device can be used as a substitute for the respiratory tract as a collector of viable airborne particles, and as such, it should reproduce to a reasonable degree the lung penetration by these particles.

MDI Metered Dose Inhalers; DPI Dry Powder Inhaler. Aerodynamic particle sizing. The design concept of the Andersen Cascade Impactor evolves from the following information: The human respiratory system tract is an aerodynamic classifying system for airborne particles. A sampling device can be used as a substitute for the respiratory tract as a collector of airborne particles, and as such, it shall reproduce to a reasonable degree the lung penetration by these particles. The IMP-8, 8 Stage “Andersen type” Cascade Impactor ACI, with 400-201-96 small round jets per stage meets all the criteria for the efficient collection of airborne particles.

ECHO PM is a "stand alone" instrument projected also for outdoor operation in harsh climatic conditions. The wide regulation range and the accurate electronic flow sampling control at either actual or standard conditions, makes ECHO PM in accordance with the reference methods EN 12341 for PM 10 with head LVS PM10 2.3 m3/h, and US EPA 40 CFR part 50 for PM10 and PM2.5 at 1m3/h. Developed and realized to allow the maximum utilizing flexibility, the ECHO PM satisfies the hardware and software requests that permits up to 2 sequential sampling lines*. Supplied with respective sampling head ECHO PM can be utilized respecting the "ISO/CD 16362 for the determination of policycles aromatic hydrocarbon PAHs" sampling norms.

Delta is a new sampler of TCR Tecora, powered by battery pack. Thanks to its new innovative electronic system, it is possible to use it in any situation, even in the absence of electricity in which case using classical samplers would be difficult. Thanks to an integrated gas meter realized according a new conception, it was possible to reduce its weight and dimensions. The new technology reduced also the instrument`s response time. The electronic flow rate control optimizes the battery consumptions, managing its power during the use.

For more than 20 years “Bravo” has been synonym of secure, precise and entrusted sampler. Bravo Basic is the economic and pratical version of the portable constant flow rate samplers that are suitable for dust and gas sampling either in stack or in ambient. It is equipped with an LCD type weekly based timer, allowing to turn the pump on and off. A digital thermometer shows the measured temperature of the gas at the dry gas meter. The sampled flow rate is set and read through two rotameters. A panel position vacuum meter gives the pressure drop reading of the connected devices, and permits to leak the sampling lines. With Bravo Basic, three different pump types are available: “two rotary vane” and a “membrane pump”.

Bravo DUO is a constant flow sampler with 2 diaphragm pumps and double heads! The heart of BRAVO DUO consists of two diaphragm pumps resistant to aggressive gases. Flow control is assured by a microprocessor board.

Bravo Plus is the renewed version of the portable constant flow rate sampler of TCR Tecora. Bravo Plus è  is the renewed version of the portable constant flow rate sampler which incorporates a controller module with microprocessor. Its versatility, united to its wide sampling capability, makes it suitable for dust and gas sampling either in stack or in ambient. Its updated electronic system allows the samplings to be programmed with the real date and hour.

EasyGas Plus is a constant flow sampler, compact with high performance, light and cheap. EasyGas PLUS sampler completes TCR Tecora product range for gaseous compounds sampling and fulfills to the normative regarding CEN/TS 13649:14 “Determination of the mass concentration of individual gaseous organic compounds. Sorptive sampling method followed by solvent extraction or thermal desorption” technical specification.

ECHO EMERGENCYHV is the new TCR Tecora® high volume sampler for particulate and micropollutants sampling and monitoring in extreme conditions. TCR Tecora® research division highlighted the need to design a sampling system that can offer a viable solution in emergency or remote situations such as fires, high mountain, isolated areas, contaminated environments to allow PTS/PM10/PM2,5/PM1 sampling on a filter with a backup sorbent trap (PUF) for gaseous organic micropollutants (PCDD/F, PCBs and PAH’s) with the possibility to monitor PM 10 - PM 2.5 - PM1 real time trend concentrations and 24 sizes classes particle distribuition.

Echo Hi-Vol is a “stand alone” automatic instrument designed to be used outdoor even in severe weather conditions. The Venturi gas meter used is made according to ISO 5167 standards. This kind of gas meter gives many advantages compared to other flow measurement systems: the measures stability in the long term, the capability of being used with all weather conditions, a reduced sensitivity to stain thanks to the gas meter self cleaning profile and the absence of elements which are sensitive once in contact with inhaled air.
