Firefighter identifies gases with the XplorIR

XplorIR

Threats from gases? Clarification in seconds!

hand-held FTIR spectroscopic analyzer, ftir gas detection to detect mobile unknown gases.

Accurate assessment of the threat posed by toxic and hazardous gases is a high priority for emergency responders. It is important both from an operational point of view and for the self-protection of the task forces. Classically, simple detectors (PID, LEL/UEG, IMS, Mehrgas, CGI, MetOX, E-Chem, test tubes, various pre-tests, etc.) are used. They have high sensitivity, but often insufficient discrimination (selectivity). Therefore, gases are classified at best until now. Also, false alarms often occur in the field because substances were detected incorrectly or not at all.

In order to assess the situation on site as accurately as possible and make fact-based decisions, supplementary equipment is needed to accurately determine (identify) the gases.
The new XplorIR identifies the gas present, either in monitoring or single measurement mode. Additional designated information (CAS, GHS, IDLH, etc.) helps to take fast and unerring measures.
