Optional Products and Accessories

Gastec Gas Sampling Pumps and Detector Tubes are designed,
manufactured, and calibrated to work together—perfectly and
precisely. For easy tracking and quality assurance, an expiration
date and lot number are printed on each tube.

All-In-One Kits are Ready to Use Anytime, Anywhere

Everything needed to identify up to 48 gases, vapors, and
liquids is consolidated into one kit. Contents range from an
airflow indicator to light sticks to an extension hose. There is no
need for extra equipment, batteries, or laboratory analysis. The
portable kits contain everything necessary for fast, on-the-spot
identification of unknown contaminants.

Measurements are Easier to See and Read

Some competitors require First Responders to notice very subtle
color changes—for example, from light gray to blue gray—in
order to determine the qualitative presence of a chemical.
The challenge is compounded when color changes must be
identified in poor light conditions or while wearing a respirator.
The fact that up to 8% of the population is color blind further
complicates the situation.

With no reliance on subtle color changes, Gastec direct-read
detector tubes are easy to interpret in any light condition. Simply
locate the distinct line of demarcation and read it against the
calibration scale stamped on the tube.

Faster Sample Times Expedite Analysis

Nextteq HazMat Kits expedite analysis by minimizing pump
strokes and sample times. Competitors, however, can have
average sample times greater than 2 minutes per tube.

Nextteq HazMat Kits are fast and always ready to use. There is
no need to calibrate, warm-up, or recharge batteries. On-the-
spot testing saves time and money—no waiting for expensive
lab results.

Efficient Building-Block Design Is More Economical

To maximize performance and minimize cost, an innovative
building-block design enables First Responders to purchase and
use only what is needed for their application and budget. Kits can
be customized and expanded with a full line of accessories.

A comprehensive decision chart comes with each kit and provides
step-by-step directions to efficiently identify gases and vapors
using the fewest detector tubes. The result from a single semi-
quantitative, multi-gas detector tube leads to a test(s) using
individual quantitative detector tube(s) for precise chemical
analysis. Some competitors require the use of up to 15 qualitative
tubes to identify the chemical present, increasing the time and cost
of analysis.

Nextteq’s kits minimize inventory costs and greatly reduce the risk
of expired tubes. All of the detector tubes have at least a 2 year
shelf life from the manufacturing date compared with the 1 year
shelf life a leading competitor advertises for 29% of its tubes.

Test Method is More Reliable

The gas detection system in Nextteq HazMat Kits is more reliable
than other test methods. In a February 1999 publication, the
U.S. Military’s Aberdeen Proving Ground identified calibration,
interference, and sensitivity problems when using PIDs (photo
ionization detectors) and FIDs (flame ionization detectors).

Unlike PIDs and FIDs, Nextteq HazMat Kits do not produce false
positives from gasoline, diesel fuel, AFFF (aqueous fire fighter’s
foam), burning tires, or burning wood products. Additionally, the
kits do not require frequent and thorough cleaning to maintain
performance levels, as the report indicated of PIDs and FIDs.
Nextteq HazMat Kits are ready to use anytime, anywhere.

Versatile and Expandable
to Meet Your Unique
Detection Needs

Nextteq HazMat Kits are available in
three building block configurations to
suit your budget and detection needs
(Standard and Deluxe).

The Deluxe Kit is also available without
detector tubes for use as a basis to
design a custom kit. Choose from
a large selection of Gastec Detector
Tubes (over 600 applications) for
measuring substances in air, water,
and soil to create your personalized kit.
