- Rated at 5 LPM, we use it at 4 LPM
- Maintains flow with high filter DP
- Li-Ion battery charges in one hour or so, and runs 20 hours with lapel charcoal and filter. Also has double size battery for 40 hours if needed.
- Nice 5 unit multi-chargers, easy to use
- Option for alkaline batteries available
- Can be programmed for delay start and preset sample time
- Downside is flow can be changed in setup menu (not password protected), have to teach folks not to adjust it.
- They may not bounce as well as some other brands without damage. I would say not flimsy, but also not rugged.
- They are very small and light, no time to measure them

| Flow Rate | 3 - 12 LPM | 800 – 5000 cc/min | 20 – 5000 cc/min |
| Battery | NiMH | NiMH | NiMH, optional alkaline battery pack, or DC Power |
| Charge Time | Standard charger 16 hrs, also available 1 hr recharger | 4 hrs | Under 3.5 hrs |
| Min. Run | 8 hrs | 8 hrs | 8 hrs |
| Size (inches) | 7 x 4.25 x 2.5 | 5 x 3 x 2 | 4.3 x 2.4 x 2.4 |

At Robinson we currently use MSA Escorts and as well as Gillian Lapels. We sample at 3 lpm which is highest rate we can for these pumps. Based on what I have recently heard, I would like to have the F&J Lapels that sample as standard man breathing rate of 20 lpm. I would like to hear from some plants that are using these myself – battery life would be only drawback I can think of off hand….

All,
Do you use personal lapel air samplers?
If so, what make/model? Advantages/disadvantages?
At DCPP we do not use personal lapel samplers.
Thanks!
