AP4C-FB
The AP4C-FB is a 24/7 rugged, real-time universal combined chemical and biological threat detector for naval and critical infrastructure protection. AP4C-F is a stationary monitor that can measure and detect chemical threats in real-time in either vapor, gas and aerosol form and biological threats in aerosol form. Whether you need to protect vessels or building ventilation systems for critical infrastructure, the AP4C-F protects your assets thanks to its short response time and detection performance. The device is designed to run continuously and has the durability to withstand harsh environments.
