MSA HAZMATCAD Hazardous Material Chemical Agent Detector

MSA HAZMATCAD Hazardous Material Chemical Agent Detector

The HAZMATCAD Hazardous Material Chemical Agent Detector is a handheld instrument that detects and classifies Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs). When compared to other technologies, the HAZMATCAD Detector offers more capabilities and greater reliability at a lower cost. The HAZMATCAD Detector has demonstrated superior selectivity for nerve and blister agents, and often outperforms other portable instruments.

It combines a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) array detector with innovative sample collector and advanced signal processing algorithms to minimize false alarms in unpredictable environments. Additionally, the instrument can be configured to detect phosgene (CG) or hydrogen cyanide (AC), thereby expanding its threat detection capabilities. HAZMATCAD Detector’s operation is simple. A single key-press begins automatic sampling and analysis. Alarm messages are given both visually and audibly for nerve (G), blister (H) or toxic (TOX) chemical threats. The HAZMATCAD Detector is lightweight, ruggedly constructed and can easily be used while wearing a Level A protection suit. Created specifically to meet the complex needs of first responders, the HAZMATCAD Detector provides a CWA tool that delivers detection confidently and without compromise.
