The MIRAN Sapphire is an instrument to monitor gas / vapor exposure in real time. Manufactured by Thermo Scientific. Unfortunately, this instrument is going to be discontinued and service support will cease in the future. I am looking into
the
Gasmet DX 4040 portable chemical gas analyzer to replace the MIRAN. Does anybody have the Gasmet DX4040 in operation? Please provide feedback. How reliable is this instrument? Are there any other portable instruments to
detect hazardous vapors in real time such as formaldehyde, isoflurane, xylene, benzene, phenol vapors, VOC in general? Any suggestions are appreciated. Draeger test tubes, diffusion badges are great but the accuracy is (+/-) 25%
Thanks in advance,
Luis.
