Casella Vapex Air Sampling Pumps

Low-Flow Sampling for High-Stakes Scenes

Vapor hazards can complicate incident response and investigative work. The Casella Vapex equips public safety teams to collect low-flow samples for laboratory analysis, helping characterize volatile compounds that may accompany unknown powders or residues. Its intrinsically safe design serves volatile atmospheres, while rugged construction and strong back-pressure performance support reliable operation in the field.

Key Capabilities for Public Safety

• Low-Flow Range: 20–500 mL/min covers common sorbent tube methods.
• Intrinsically Safe: Supports use in volatile atmospheres where traditional equipment can pose ignition risks.
• Constant Flow: Helps maintain target rates despite back-pressure changes.
• Remote Operation: The Airwave App enables configuration and status checks from a safe distance.
• Compact and Durable: Small footprint and robust housing fit the realities of response work.
• Clear Indicators: Visual feedback simplifies setup, checks, and documentation.

Applications Across Agencies

• Clandestine Lab Response: Sample solvents and byproducts during entry, processing, and cleanup.
• Fuel and Chemical Releases: Gather vapor-phase samples near spills and vents to support assessments.
• Evidence Rooms and Labs: Spot-check storage and handling areas for targeted compounds.
• Fire Investigation: Assess volatile residues near burn patterns as part of origin and cause work.
• Perimeter Monitoring: Confirm downwind presence of volatile compounds during prolonged incidents.

Documentation and Chain of Custody

Vapex supports defensible sampling with time-stamped records and flow verification. Bluetooth connectivity helps supervisors capture operational metadata and export it into investigative reports and evidence packages without removing PPE or re-entering restricted zones.

Pair With Real-Time Insights

Combine Vapex with TSI aerosol monitors to track particulates alongside vapor sampling. This dual approach helps command understand evolving conditions, guide PPE selections, and maintain comprehensive records for after-action reviews.

Ready for Deployment

• Request a demo to see remote control and logging in action.
• Discuss Standard versus Plus models for your documentation requirements.
• Ask about recommended sorbent tubes and accessories for public safety missions.

Casella Vapex brings low-flow, intrinsically safe capability to emergency response and law enforcement teams that need credible vapor sampling in demanding environments.
