XplorIR: Gas Identification for Rapid Response
Learn how the XplorIR provides positive gas identification during an explosion at a clandestine meth lab.
Traditional first-entry meters only detect the presence of gases downrange, without accurately identifying their specific chemical compounds. During an explosion at a clandestine meth lab, learn how the XplorIR provides positive gas identification of over 5600 chemicals, even in complex gas mixtures.
It is 2:00 A.M. and your agency has just been dispatched to an explosion at a home in a heavily populated residential area
Once the resulting flames have been extinguished, your recon team performs an initial site assessment. While LEL readings are relatively low, CO and PID readings are extremely high. Neighbors complain of acrid odors and difficulty breathing. It seems you have just stepped into a clandestine meth lab, and you need answers… FAST!
Such incidents are far too common for first responders and mitigating them requires actionable intelligence on the myriad toxic gases and vapors filling the atmosphere. While multi-gas meters and PIDs play a critical role in these scenarios, such first entry devices don’t provide the gas and vapor identification capability required to tell the whole story. That’s where the XplorIR® comes in.
The hand-held XplorIR gas and vapor system can identify over 5,600 chemical products in seconds downrange
And with its sophisticated atmospheric compensation and mixture analysis algorithms, the XplorIR can report up to 6 compounds within the dirtiest of environments with minimal operator interaction. And when expert help is needed in the middle of the night, reach back scientists are on call to review the XplorIR data you upload to the cloud using the TeamLeader app on your smartphone.
