3M monitor badges are simple and effective devices that collect certain gas/vapour airborne contaminants using the principle of diffusion. They assist in the assessment of workplace contaminant measurement, both personal and background.
The 3M Organic Vapour Monitor Badge 3500 is designed for monitoring a broad range of organic vapours. Simply attach it to your collar – the contaminant defuses through permeable membrane and is collected by the active carbon sorbent. The sample can then be sent separately to a laboratory for analysis (not included). The concentration level in the air is calculated based on the quantity absorbed into the monitor badge (in relation to the exposure time and specific compound diffusion rate across the permeable membrane).
Thank you for your interest in Camlab and the products we offer,
As you will understand due to the recent outbreak of a new Coronavirus, Camlab are experiencing an unusually high demand for the supply of personal protective equipment including masks. Whilst we are actively and diligently trying to fulfil the current demand for disposable respirators and surgical style masks through our wide supply chain, the manufacturers are now restricting the amount supplied to stockists.
Due to the fast moving nature of the current stock status our website may not reflect the up to the minute position and we suggest you contact us using either the online chat or call us on 01954 233110

Wearing a medical mask can help limit the spread of some respiratory disease. However, using a mask alone is not guaranteed to stop infections and should be combined with other prevention measures including hand and respiratory hygiene and avoiding close contact – at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and other people.
WHO advises on rational use of medical masks thus avoiding unnecessary wastage of precious resources and potential mis-use of masks (see Advice on the use of masks). This means using masks only if you have respiratory symptoms (coughing or sneezing), have suspected 2019-nCoV infection with mild symptoms or are caring for someone with suspected 2019-nCoV infection. A suspected 2019-nCoV infection is linked to travel in an area in China where 2019-nCoV has been reported, or close contact with someone who has travelled from China and has respiratory symptoms.
