XplorIR vs. Colorimetric Tubes

Colorimetric tubes have been a standard in the downrange toolkits of many first responders. Despite their widespread use, they are plagued by high error rates, significant cross-sensitivities, and an inability to conduct continuous gas monitoring.

The XplorIR is the only FTIR analyzer that can provide continuous gas monitoring at operationally relevant concentrations while uniquely identifying over 5600 chemicals and up to 6 components simultaneously within a gasmixture.
