The Draeger 8101801 Gas Detector Tube is designed for on-site, colorimetric measurement of phosphine concentrations in air using a Draeger tube pump. This single-use glass tube provides a rapid indication of target gas levels through a change in color along the tube length, enabling immediate assessment in field or laboratory environments where phosphine exposure is a concern. The product is packaged as a box containing ten tubes, with a break-off tip feature that allows safe, controlled sampling. The specified measurement ranges cover two practical bands—10/box and 2-minute or 10-minute response times—supporting quick screening and more extended monitoring as needed.
Construction and distinguishing features include a glass tube design, a break-off tip for sample collection, and the standard Draeger-tube format that works with the Draeger pump (not included in this listing). The assay is calibrated for phosphine (PH3) measurements with a standard range of 20–100 ppm and an additional lower range of 1–20 ppm, delivering results within the stated time frames. These parameters help ensure that users can interpret the results against established exposure guidelines and take appropriate action if readings approach or exceed the specified ranges.
Practical use considerations include replacing tubes after each measurement, handling with care to avoid breakage, and maintaining the pump and accessories to ensure reliable sampling. The product is suitable for applications where phosphine exposure monitoring is necessary, such as agricultural fumigation or certain chemical processing contexts, and it should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s tube-pump methodology. This listing does not include the pump or ancillary items, and it adheres to the documented box-pack configuration: ten tubes per box, with a box quantity of 10 per pack.
