Correctly detect and identify the presence of certain gases, contaminants and chemicals with precision detector tubes and badges. These devices are particularly useful in chemical plants, oil refineries, laboratories and related facilities that are in constant contact with hazardous materials, gas-emitting compounds and industrial solvents and fluids. Detector tubes are typically filled with a chemical reagent that produces a color change when exposed to a certain gas such as carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulfide. Monitor badges include an indicator that alerts to the presence of a certain contaminant or substance in near real-time.
