Frequently Asked Questions

The TG-1 kit is designed for emergency situations where the identity of a toxic gas or chemical vapor is unknown. It provides a systematic method to screen, identify, and measure hazardous vapors on the spot.
The 12 included tube varieties cover broad categories including acid gases (HCl, SO₂, Cl₂), alkaline vapors (ammonia, amines), carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, organic solvent vapors, and phosgene.
The kit comes with a logical flowchart that directs the user to test with specific multi-gas screening tubes first. Depending on the color change observed, the flowchart guides the user to the exact confirmatory tube.
The pump and briefcase have indefinite shelf lives. GASTEC detector tubes carry expiration dates (typically 2 to 3 years from manufacture) stamped clearly on each box and can be individually replenished.
Yes. The TG-1 kit uses the manual GV-100S pump and glass detector tubes with zero electronic or spark-producing elements, making it safe for use in ATEX/explosive zones.
