GDA series
The Gas Detector Array uses a combination of different sensors to detect and identify a very broad range of chemical substances in the range ppm - ppb. The GDA products are comprised of a combination of various sensors: an ion mobility spectrometer (IMS), a photoionization detector (PID), two semiconductor gas sensors (MOS) and an electrochemical cell (EC). There are several available models. The GDA-FR (First response ), GDA-X (explosives), GDA-F (fumigation), GDA-P (personal monitor)
