Dissolved Ion Tubes provide a simple measurement of ionic chemicals in water samples. The tubes are pre-calibrated, take only a few minutes to complete, and the concentration is read directly from the length of color stain.

Dosimeter Tubes measure the total dose of chemical to which an air space or person has been exposed over a period of time, such as during fumigation of goods in a cargo vessel or daily worker exposure. The tubes are place into the exposed area or worn on a lapel clip for hours to days, and the dose is read directly from the length of color stain.

High Pressure Tubes are used to measure contaminants in breathing air and pressurized cylinders. Gas samples are not drawn through the tubes with a hand pump, but rather using the pressurized gas supply itself. Sample volumes are typically greater than 1 Liter for better sensitivity.
