- Reaction Principle:
- COCl2 + (CH3)2NC6H4CHO → (CH3)2NC6H4CHCl2 + CO2
- (CH3)2NC6H4CHCl2 + (C6H5)2NH → Reaction Product
- Relative Standard Deviation: 10% (for 0.1 to 1 ppm), 5% (for 1 to 5 ppm)
- 1.5 Year Shelf Life (in the refrigerator)
- Store the tubes in the refrigerator to keep at 10ºC (50ºF) or below.

- On-site measurements can be performed easily by anybody, anytime and anywhere, in a short time
- Easy-to-check direct reading possible due to calibrated scale directly printed on the tube
- An extensive measuring range can be obtained by adjusting the sampling volume
- In order to assure high precision, each production lot is tested and calibrated independently, Each detector tube has its own quality control number printed on the tube
- Long shelf-life with excellent long-term stability
