Do I need a soil gas sampler with a purge port?

31 Jul 2025

It depends on the type of sampling that is being performed. For sub-slab sampling, where the sampling tube may be just 1 meter, then it is generally not necessary. However, if sampling is being done from a well or drilled bore hole, then using a sampler with a purge port and purging the sample line is recommended.
