Question | Answer |
---|---|
How can you dectect Corrosivity? | Litmus Dye, PH paper, and PH meters |
CGI, Multi-Gas, PID, and FID are examples of what types of monitoring technology? | Flammability |
Oxygen meters and Photoionization detectors are examples of what types of monitoring technology? | Oxygen potential/deficiency |
Biological Immunoassay Indicators, DNA Fluoroscopy, Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) and Hand Held assays are what type(s) of monitoring technology? | Pathogenicity |
ANVDR2, Geiger Counter, ANPDR77, Dosimeter(TLD, UDR-13) are examples of monitoring technology? | Radioactivity |
Photoionization Detectors, Flame ionization Detector, Infrared Spectrophotometers and Detector tubes are examples of monitoring technology? | Toxic Levels (Toxicity) |
Biological Immunoassay indicators (Hand held assays) | Capabilities 1.Tests for anthrax, ricin, botulinum toxin, plague, tularemia, brucella and orthopox.2 Immunoassays are quick and accurate tests that can be used on-site and in the laboratory to detect specific molecules. |
Chemical agent monitors (ICAM) | Capabilities 1. It uses ion mobility spectrometry technology to detect and discriminate between mustard and nerve agent vapor. Limitations 1.may give false readings2. subject to saturation.3.sensitive to high temps. |
Colorimetric detector tubes | Capabilities 1.Detects specific gases and vapors Limitations 1used to determine if a specific chemical is present, but will not provide specific quanitative results.2.not able to interchange different maufacturer's tubes. |
PH meters | Capabilites 1.measures the acidity or alkalinity of a corrosive material.2.the meteres provide a more accurate reading than PH paper/strips and are commercially available. Limitations 1.probes must be thoroughly rinsed with distilled water. |
PH Paper/Strips | Capabilities 1.chemical reaction changes color of the detection paper.2.acids are normally shades of red and purple, while bases/caustic are shades of blue limitations 1.fasle positives are possible.2.must have accurate color perception |
Reagents | Capabilities a substance or solution combined with a material causing a chemical reaction. Limitations For specific chemcial and biological materials. |
