Gas Tech's series of portable instruments use several types of detectors, including catalytic oxidation for hydrocarbon detection and electrochemical for toxic gases and oxygen. These detectors require periodic calibration to compensate for normal degradation over the life of the sensor, and for any signal loss due to extreme exposures to compounds that might have a negative effect on the performance of the sensor. It should be noted that all detectors can experience extreme loss of sensitivity if exposed to certain materials (for instance, silicone for the catalytic detector). The instrument should always be checked if exposed to extreme concentration, suspected poisons, or contaminants.
