SAW MiniCAD mk II™ Miniature Chemical Agent Detector
Details :
Principles of
Operation :
The SAW MiniCAD mk II Detector uses a pair of Surface Acoustic
Wave (SAW) microsensors. SAW sensors are piezoelectric crystals
that detect the mass of chemical vapors absorbed into chemically
selective coatings on the sensor surface. This absorption causes
a change in the resonant frequency of the sensor. The internal
microcomputer measures these changes and uses them to determine
the presence and concentration of chemical agents. The SAW
sensor coatings have unique physical properties which allow
reversible adsorption of chemical vapors.
Applications :
Domestic Preparedness
Hazards :
Chemical Warfare Agents
Product Information :
The SAW MiniCAD mk II Detector is a personal, lightweight,
solid-state chemical agent detector for simultaneous detection
of trace levels of nerve and blister agents. The MiniCAD
Detector is highly selective to these agents and is extremely
resistant to false alarms. It operates from either standard
off-the-shelf lithium batteries or a rechargeable battery pack
using proven SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) sensor technology.
System and alarm status are displayed by LEDs and an audible
alarm.
The SAW MiniCAD Detector has set a new standard for instrument
ease of use and reliability. First Responders in a wide variety
of organizations have made the MiniCAD Detector their first
choice in detection of chemical warfare agents.
