Siltek-treated sample cylinders are recommended for the collection, storage, and analysis of ppb levels of sulfur, mercury, or other sensitive compounds. Because these compounds quickly react with stainless-steel surfaces, accurate determination of these compounds is not possible when samples are collected and stored in untreated sample cylinders. Siltek passivation techniques bond an inert layer into the surface of stainless steel, preventing active compounds from reacting with or adsorbing to the steel. Please refer to this stability study for additional information.
