The HAZMATCAD Plus Detector is a portable instrument designed for one hand operation. It is easy to operate and requires limited training for effective use. In an unknown environment, instrument reliability and analysis specificity are key to correct threat determinations. HAZMATCAD Plus Detectors provide first responders with these unprecedented field performance capabilities.
This unit combines two proven detection technologies: a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor array and an electrochemical cell array to meet a wide range of chemical threats.
The HAZMATCAD Plus Detector provides superior selectivity through innovative design. By using a SAW sensor array and a thermally-modulated sample collector, the unit provides unsurpassed false alarm rejection. This ability to provide no compromise CWA performance with the addition of select TICs such as phosgene, hydrogen cyanide, halogen and hydride gases makes the HAZMATCAD Plus Detector the best solution for detection of a broad range of chemical threats.
