Gas Sampling Line; Used To Deliver Gas Samples for Measurement of Respiratory Gases

 

Gas Sampling Line

Gas sampling line options are numerous and the first thing that one needs to consider is the type of gases being tested. There are different types of testing gases available for gas sampling such as volatile organic compounds (VOC), particulate matter, pesticides, lead, temperature and others. The various models of these lines include portable and permanent models. Gas sampling lines come with male/male luer fittings. Male connectors are usually made of rigid clear flexible plastic and include a forward midstream sampling fitting and are also compatible with some models of gas analyzers.

Different types of gas sampling lines include: wet-cell and dry-cell. Wet-cell model includes a dual moving coil and a wet loop electrode that are enclosed in a rigid sleeve. This model is known for high reliability and durability even under heavy pressure and high temperatures. The wet-cell model uses a float arm to gather the CO2 data. Dry cell model includes a single or dual moving coil that supplies the CO2 measurement. It has a removable wet and dry collecting arm. These types of gas sampling lines are less reliable than wet-cell models.

Most experts recommend the end-tidal CO2 method which uses two electrodes positioned at different levels near the coastline. The measurements are taken at various stations located along the coast over a period of several months. Another important type of gas sampling lines gas analyzer includes the closed system gas analyzer and the open system gas analyzer. The closed system uses stainless steel tubing inside the reservoir where the sample is collected. The open system does not have any type of protective covering over the sampling point.

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and other gaseous pollutants are separated through the sample tubing. Gas sampling lines can also be used to deliver gas samples to the capnometer for monitoring the respiratory gases. It is widely used to diagnose various diseases, such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, etc. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of aforementioned diseases, the demand for gas sampling line is also increasing with a rapid pace. In 2019, around 136,781 cases of pneumonia were recorded in Mexico, while in 2018, around 94.7 thousand cases of pneumonia were recorded in Japan.
