AIRGARD® and AIRGARD® Plus ambient air analyzers are ultra-sensitive, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) based gas analyzers designed to rapidly detect toxic gases. These analyzers are capable of detecting parts per billion (ppb) levels of most HPMs and TICs below Threshold Limit Values (TLV) and/or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) levels within 20 seconds.
- Single-digit parts per billion (ppb) detection of a broad range of threats
- Rapid response - typically less than 20 seconds
- Ethernet connectivity for remote monitoring
- Compact and rugged design for reliable performance See All Features
Features
Immunity to False Alarms
The AIRGARD analyzer has been thoroughly tested by the Department of Defense for its sensitivity, specificity, response time, and immunity to false positive alarms caused by the sensing of, and alarming to, everyday benign, non-toxic solvents and industrial chemicals. This immunity to false alarms prevents unwarranted evacuation of buildings, associated interruptions of business and emergency notifications when no toxic materials are present.
Applications
- Continuous detection of HPMs and TICs
- Airborne Molecular Contamination (AMC)
- Emergency Response (ERT) gas monitoring
- Ambient air, exhausted enclosures, abatement systems, gas delivery (gas cabinets and VMBs)
- Semiconductor, Solar, LED manufacturing
- Research laboratories – University, Government, Nanotech
