Coming soon - the launch of the Apex IS models at AIHCE show in Anaheim, CA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Casella USA plans to launch the Apex IS personal sampling pumps at AIHA show in Anaheim, California

Today's date -- Mar 1, 2005

Casella USA plan to release the long anticipated intrinsically safe version of the popular personal sampling pump at the forthcoming AIHCE show in Anaheim California in May. Testing by UL engineers is continuing and Casella USA expect to be able to announce that the pumps have been granted UL and ATEX approvals. This will make them ideal for use in many hazardous areas. Two versions will be offered; a standard pump and a pro version featuring programmable start and stop timers and a useful TWA mode that spreads a fixed measurement out over the whole day.

Casella USA will be featuring a simple drawing at the show for the chance to win an all new Apex UL Pro single pump kit. The kit will feature an Apex IS Pro pump with long life NiMH rechargeable battery pack, a fast intelligent charger, a carrying case plus an inhalable sampling head complete with a pack of filter cassettes. The Casella IOM head allows the sampling of inhalable, thoracic or respirable fractions of the dust with the use of optional size selective PUF foam filters.

Special attention has gone into the design of the unit to give a long battery life from the new IS NiMH battery pack. Running times up to 40 hours on a full charge are possible depending on selected flow rate and filter size. Rapid charging in under 4 hours will keep the pump operational even from fully discharged. A single 1 hour charge ensures that there is enough running time for a full 8 hour shift.

The Apex IS pumps can be used with a low flow adaptor to give flow rates from 5 to 750 ml/min for use with vapor detection tubes and other typical accessories. Flow control accuracy is better than ±3% and the units are extremely stable with calibration being held for at least a month.

A wide range of accessories, sampling heads, size selective filters and gas bag collection are available from Casella USA to compliment the new Apex IS pumps in the field.
