There are two separate air sample lines on a small tower using 3/8" Dekabon (Synflex) tubing. About 2-5 liters of air are continuously drawn through the tubing. Air samples are alternated between each air sample line.
Air and calibration samples are passed through a 72" long Nafion dryer followed by a magnesium perchlorate trap.
