GASTEC Toxic Gas Detection Kit TG-1
The GASTEC TG-1 Toxic Gas Detection Kit is designed for first responders, fire investigators, defense personnel, and industrial hygiene teams who must identify unknown chemical releases immediately. Equipped with 12 specialized detector tubes and a precision manual sampling pump in a durable field briefcase, it provides rapid qualitative identification and quantitative measurement of critical toxic industrial chemicals in 1 to 4 minutes with zero warm-up time.
Covers inorganic gases, acid vapors, organic solvents, and toxic combustion byproducts.
Ready for deployment the moment responders arrive on scene—no calibration or power needed.
Includes intuitive qualitative classification flowcharts for rapid hazard determination.
Equipped with the flagship GASTEC GV-100S pump with integrated ceramic tube tip breaker.
Shockproof carrying briefcase organizes all tubes, pump, accessories, and charts securely.
100% mechanical and pneumatic design safe for use in combustible atmospheres.
Follow the rapid TG-1 triage logic chart to select the primary broad-spectrum screening tube.
Insert the tube into the GV-100S pump, pull the handle to draw 50mL or 100mL air sample, and wait for indicator.
Observe color change against chart to identify chemical class, then confirm concentration with specific tube.

Patented leak-free piston delivers precise 100mL sample volume with mechanical finish indicator.
Enables non-specialist personnel to narrow down unknown toxic clouds quickly and safely.
Clearly printed scales provide unambiguous numeric concentration values on the spot.
Provides rapid identification of unknown spills and chemical clouds when seconds count.
Monitors CO, HCN, HCl, and phosgene combustion byproducts post-incident before respiratory removal.
Supports emergency containment teams in investigating unexpected process leaks and odors.
Supplies military and customs officers with portable, battery-free toxic hazard detection.
Checks freight containers and cargo vessels for hazardous fumigant and chemical off-gassing.
Pre-screens unknown storage tanks, manholes, and underground vaults prior to worker entry.
