Providing Cost Effective And Reliable
Gas Detection Solutions Since 1975
WHO IS INTERSCAN?
We manufacture and sell toxic gas analyzers/monitors/detectors and related data-logging products exclusively
We manufacture our own patented electrochemical voltametric sensors for 18 gases
Interscan manufactures sensors for these Interscan manufactures sensors for these gases:gases:• bromine bromine • carbon monoxide carbon monoxide • chlorine chlorine • chlorine dioxide chlorine dioxide • ethylene ethylene • ethylene oxide ethylene oxide • formaldehyde formaldehyde • hydrazine(s) hydrazine(s) • hydrogen hydrogen • hydrogen bromide hydrogen bromide • hydrogen chloride hydrogen chloride • hydrogen cyanide hydrogen cyanide • hydrogen sulfide hydrogen sulfide • nitric oxide nitric oxide • nitrogen dioxide nitrogen dioxide • ozone ozone • propylene oxide propylene oxide • sulfur dioxide sulfur dioxide
WHAT ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS?
We manufacture toxic gas detectors, primarily used for compliance monitoring in the workplace
Interscan does not manufacture confined space entry monitors (typified by hand-held “4-gas” monitors---- generally measuring CO and H2S as well as % LEL and O2 deficiency)
Interscan does not manufacture outdoor environmental (EPA equivalence or reference) monitors
Although Interscan is certainly aware of other detection methods, since we manufacture electrochemical voltametric sensors, this is our core competency and primary detection method
We can provide other detection methods via systems integration and custom design

BASIC TERMS
TLV: Threshold Limit Value
TWA: Time-weighted average exposure concentration for a conventional 8 hour workday and a 40 hour work-week
STEL: Short-Term Exposure Limit. Usually a 15 minute TWA exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday
Action Level: This is for benchmark purposes for the initialscreening of a workplace. This level is one-half of the allowable 8 hour TWA for a particular substance. Should levels equal or exceed this amount, then regular monitoring must be employed
ppm (Part Per Million) 1 ppm= 1,000 ppb. 1%= 10,000 ppm
ppb (Part Per Billion) 1 ppb = 0.001 ppm
GAS DETECTION:A
SIMPLIFIED HISTORY
Early 1900s combustible gas was being detected in mines
MSA started in 1914
% LEL Detection (Methane LEL = 5.0%)
O2 Deficiency
I.H. Section of the American Public Health Assoc. started in 1914
40 Years or so after - I.H. section blossomed into the two associations we know today
A.C.G.I.H
Until this point, gas detection consisted of % level measurements
Monitoring for combustibles does not require specificity
Pioneers of toxic gas detection:
Early 1970s
A.I.H.A.
Monitoring for combustibles does not require sensitivity
