Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is a Chemcassette®?

“Chemcassette®” is the unique trademarked name for a calibration free toxic gas detection method that uses an optical scanning system to detect the presence of gas by a color change on the specially chemically impregnated paper tape. Chemcassette extremely fast to the presence of parts per billion (ppb) levels of many hazardous gases. Over 200,000 points of gas detection are currently maintained by the Chemcassette

technology is highly specific and reacts

sensing technology at any given time around the world in some of the most critical safety applications possible.

Q. Where can I buy Chemcassette® product?

Only Honeywell Analytics’ authorized sales and service representatives can supply the unique Chemcassette Analytics designs, manufactures, sells and supports Chemcassette® products.

Q. What support do I get when I buy a unique

Chemcassette® product?

Each MDA Scientific Chemcassette manufactured to traceable ISO 9000 manufacturing standards by a world class team of highly trained chemists and each batch is calibrated with ultra pure gas that is traceable to nationally accepted standards. This means that the end user does not have to provide calibration facilities themselves thereby saving cost and reducing risks to their own staff. Efficient high volume manufacturing techniques means that there is always available Chemcassette® in stock that can be shipped anywhere in the world so that our customers are never left without adequate safety cover. Application support with expert gas detection chemists is available by phone and e-mail and is supported with many years of technical application notes and help to diagnose common support issues. Should there be any concern regarding the performance of an individual Chemcassette®, a free of charge evaluation will be performed to trouble shoot the observed scenario using the award winning quality management system “Customer Discrepancy Report” CDR. Every CDR completed

product line. Only Honeywell

by a customer is guaranteed a full response and the outcome is reported directly back to the end user to ensure a complete resolution process. Each Chemcassette we have over 20 years of experience regarding the quality control of our proven sensing technology.

Q. What statistics prove the benefits of

Chemcassette

Honeywell Analytics has been manufacturing their unique Chemcassette® sensor tapes for over 25 years and maintain traceable records on every production batch, every calibration and every instrument and calibration gas cylinder used to perform the calibration. Experienced scientists maintain a constant measurement environment when performing the calibrations and they are skilled at handling the very toxic gases used for testing and have double checks in place to confirm that the test gas is still within acceptable specification. Looking at just the data on just a single tape sample is not adequate proof that the detection principle is reliable and reproducible; it is essential that the sensing technology can be backed by many years of data that takes into account batch to batch variations and confirms that every single Chemcassette® will detect toxic gas as specified, every time!
