GasID Technology
The GasID is a highly specific tool that measures how gases and vapors interact with infrared light. Each chemical has its own unique infrared fingerprint, which when analyzed by the GasID, results in an identification.
The GasID’s sample collection device can be carried down range into the hot zone. Once the gas or vapor is collected, the sample cell is detached from the pump, passed through the decon line, and then connected to the GasID system for analysis.
Once the GasID analyzes the unknown, it instantly compares the results against database libraries to provide an identity.
Database libraries include:
- WMD—nerve & blister agents
- NIST/EPA Gas-Phase Infrared Database
- Pacific Northwest National Lab Toxic Industrial Chemicals
