An air sampler includes a stand adapted to support sample enclosures at spaced-apart locations. A multiposition valve is mounted to the stand. The multiposition valve has a plurality of inlet ports and an outlet port selectively fluidly coupled to any of the plurality of inlet ports. A plurality of inlet lines connects the sample enclosures to the inlet ports. A concentrator trap mounted on the stand and coupled to the outlet port concentrates selected constituents from one of the sample enclosures.

Air sampler with trap

An air sampler includes a stand for supporting a plurality of sample enclosures from which samples can be randomly and selectively obtained. In a first embodiment, a bracket adjustably fixed to the stand supports each of the sample enclosures. In a second embodiment, an inlet line fluidly couples each of the sample enclosures to a valve carried by the stand. The inlet line has a flexible portion adjacent the end coupleable to the sample enclosure to allow limited misalignment between the sample enclosure and the stand.
