“No-Haz” LCO₂ Sampling Kits

To perform all ISBT required liquid CO₂ (LCO₂) quality tests and also to conveniently & economically ship your samples internationally as non-dangerous goods (non-hazmat), 3 sampling container types are included in our “No-Haz” LCO₂ sampling kit. Each container is ideal for performing certain analytical tests + they also give us the proper gas volume needed for extensive testing programs. This No-Haz kit comes with simple, pictorial sampling & shipping instructions.

Standard “No-Haz” LCO₂ Sampling Kit components:

4, 1L ISBT-Grade “True Blue™” Polybags (e.g. used for detector tube-based impurity tests + sensory tests, etc.)

1, 75 or 150 cc Minicyl (a small Sulfinert passivated gas cylinder with an 25 psig inlet “check” valve to limit the fill-pressure)

Note: One of the critical tests performed with the CO₂ sample in a Minicyl is a trace oxygen (O2) test - which requires a very thorough flush/fill step.

1, 2L NVR “electropolished ss can / lid” (for NVR / NVOR e.g. dirt, wear metal, carbon bed fines, oil / grease testing). Note: this test requires generating a powdery, dry-ice CO₂ “Snow” sample from LCO₂.

Note: Our No-Haz CO₂ feedgas testing is similar with the exception of the NVR “can”- which is not required.

For LCO₂ testing both the 4 Polybags & Minicyl must be filled with vaporized, liquid phase CO₂. This requires a passivated vaporizer - pressure regulator. If needed, this accessory can be purchased from us (p/n VPR-120 + ST-1 flex tubing & passivated fittings). Please see our “Sampling Product” pages or contact us for a quotation.

In addition, for LCO₂ testing, the NVR container must be filled with about 600 g of powdery CO₂ “snow”. The solid residues left in this container after snow evaporation are used for an ISBT NVR/NVOR test. To perform this test, passivated snowmaking equipment is required. If needed, this accessory can be purchased from us (p/n SnowMaker 1.3 Kit). This kit allows you to generate the amount of particle-free snow needed for this NVR test. Please see our “Sampling Product” pages or contact us for a quotation.

.Shown below are our 3 types “No-Haz” sampling containers. All involve a minimal volume of CO₂ gas contained at low pressures (L.T. 25 psig) + NVR/NVOR residue. With our advanced instrumentation and test methods this small amount of gas + solid residue is enough to perform an extensive ISBT LCO₂ quality program!

“No-Haz” LCO₂ Quality Program Start-up –  4 Easy Steps

1.) If you are affiliated with beverage manufacturing or gas producing companies that already have preferred customer contractual pricing with us, please indicate this to us and we will e-mail you an appropriate group contract for review. These flexible contracts have many options. You would select the service option that is ideal for you, sign/date it and return it to us by either e-mail/fax or courier. We in turn would sign/date and return a completed contract copy to you.

If you are not associated with an existing group contract but wish to set up a service contract with us, please e-mail us with your yearly testing frequency requirements and we will develop an appropriate reduced-fee contract for you. Testing Service contracts are not necessary, but are recommended for those customers who must perform periodic LCO₂ quality testing – as they allow us to offer you list pricing discounts. If a service contract is not ideal, then we would e-mail / fax or courier to you an appropriate price quotation.

Before sending you an appropriate quotation or invoice & sampling kits, customers should review the information about any necessary sampling accessories you may need for safe & proper LCO₂ sampling. Common accessories include a passivated vaporizer-pressure regulator, passivated transfer tubing, pressure relief hardware, fittings, passivated snowmaking & personal safety equipment such as Cryo-Safety gloves.

Some of the more common items requested by customers are listed on page 1. Please contact if you may need additional sampling items. Accessory equipment items can either be purchased from us directly – or in some cases, a convenient pay-out plan can be arranged. Please contact us if a pay-out plan is desired.

Note 1: If signed, hard-copy, original report documents are required to be mailed to you, there will be an additional nominal charge for this service. Please indicate this requirement at the time you are requesting a quotation or invoice.

2.) After a signed contract or if a quotation + subsequent purchase order have been received, we would e-mail or fax to you an appropriate invoice + bank account information for wire transfer of funds. Alternatively, a check by a US-affiliated bank or major credit card would be accepted.

3.) Upon our receipt of either a wire-transfer payment, check or credit card approval, the appropriate CO₂ sampling kits + simple pictorial sampling instructions + return shipping containers + return shipping papers + any purchased sampling accessories would be immediately express shipped to you.

Upon receipt of the CO₂ sampling kits, you would obtain the appropriate CO₂ sample by following our enclosed pictorial sampling instructions then make arrangements for the return sample shipment to us as a NON-HAZMAT.

NOTE: CAREFULLY FOLLOW OUR INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESCRIBING THE SAMPLE ON ENCLOSED RETURN SHIPPING DOCUMENTS!

Note: One convenient option we offer is pre-paid Round-Trip Shipping using our contract international courier. With this option, the customer simply signs/dates the return paperwork (which is in our sampling kit box) and calls our local courier for sample pick-up.

4.) Upon arrival of your sample at our laboratory, we will perform all required tests and e-mail or fax a complete final report to you about your LCO₂ quality. If you have any questions about your report you can call or e-mail or fax us and we would be most happy to explain any test result or make any desired recommendations.

That’s it! – just 4 simple steps to start an LCO₂ quality testing program!
