Continuous dioxin and furan emission monitoring by long-term sampling. TÜV and MCERTs certified, ETV EPA approved and in accordance with Standards EN 1948-1, CEN/TS 1948-5
The AMESA-D utilizes the water cooled probe method with Isokinetic sampling system coupled with XAD-II adsorbent cartridge for Long-term sampling of dioxins (PCDD), furans (PCDF) and other persistent organic contaminant (POPs).

The AMESA® D measurements are in accordance with Standards EN 1948-1, CEN/TS 1948-5. The system is QAL 1 certified to EN14181 and was published on the 1st of April 2014 by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection in the German Federal Gazette as type performance tested. Up to now the AMESA® D system is the only instrument on the market for long-term sampling of dioxins, which is QAL 1 certified. The normative Annex C of CEN/TS 1948-5 requires a type performance test for each system which should be used for this application.
Before the QAL 1 certification the AMESA® system passed several Type Performance Tests and certifications as follows:
All measurement devices of AMESA®, which are needed to assure a correct sampling, (volume measurement, isokinetic control, temperature and pressure measurement etc.) were very intensively tested during the TÜV and MCERT tests, thus ensuring a perfect calculation of the average dioxin concentration over the sampling time.
The most relevant tests are those related to the adsorption characteristics of the system (e.g. possible break-through of dioxins through the cartridge, possible losses of dioxins in the sampling line and condensate etc.), which are exclusively performed in the more stringent QAL1 and TÜV type performance test.
