How can condensation be avoided when sampling from incubators?
Condensation can be avoided by drying
the sample gas using Nafion® membrane tubing. Nafion®,
a Dupont co-polymer, is highly selective in the removal of water. The water moves
through the membrane wall and evaporates into the surrounding air or gas in a
process called perevaporation. The
CO2 content of the gas sample is not affected.
For
a more detailed explanation please refer to the CO2
in Incubator FAQ document.
