XplorIR Solves CO Cross-Sensitivity for Hazmat Response

Learn how XplorIR accurately identifies toxic gases that can give your air monitors false readings or inhibit accurate measurements.

Carbon monoxide (CO) electrochemical sensors, commonly used in 4 or 5-gas air monitors, can give inaccurate readings due to cross-sensitivity with other gases and vapors. Inexperienced operators may incorrectly assume that any CO reading indicates the presence of CO, which can be dangerous.. XplorIR® can complement CO sensors by identifying not only CO but also many of these cross-sensitive gases, improving the accuracy of readings and enhancing responder safety. This pairing ensures a more reliable assessment of hazardous environments.
