When First Responders arrive at an emergency, their ability to quickly and accurately assess the situation is paramount. Nextteq® supports their efforts through a variety of advanced testing products including the Nextteq® HazMat Response Test Kit.

Nextteq®'s Response Kit quickly identifies hazardous substances from unknown airborne compounds. Using two specialty qualitative detector tubes and the Nextteq® custom color-based flow chart, one can rapidly identify up to 70 hazardous organic and inorganic chemicals using just 2 detector tubes in about 3 minutes. From there, for follow-up testing, the kit contains several of our high quality, highly-reliable detector tubes that can be used to further qualify and quantify the initial test results of organic or inorganic gases or vapors.

Color Chart

N/A There are two types of Color Chart Tubes:
  1. Tubes that have several sections of specific reagent that will change color to identify the type of gas present. For example, Inorganic (NX301) qualitative detector tubes have a special color chart to identify 60 chemicals in a couple of minutes.
  2. Tubes whose reagent sections will show a change in color intensity proportional to the concentration of the target gas which can be measured by comparing the tube’s color stain to a color intensity chart. For example, with Carbon Monoxide (NX119SA and NX119SB), the color goes from pale yellow to green to blue depending on the concentration of CO and other gases present.

Features

N/A High quality glass tube - Each detector tube is wrapped in a thin transparent film that protects against the shattering of the glass tube and the release of the chemical reagent in the event of accidental tube breakage.

Calibration scale - (in ppm, mg/m3, mg/l, lb/mmcf or % depending on the substance and its concentration to be measured) - Printed label in contrasting ink color that permits high legibility against the color change layer

Reliable detecting reagents - That comply with Nextteq®’s stringent quality standards (regulating the length of color change layer, the clear distinction of the line of demarcation, and the tone and brightness of the color change).

Arrow - Indicates the direction of the flow of air through the tube when a sample is taken.

Quality control number (Lot No.) - Nextteq®’s quality assurance number is printed on every Nextteq® detector tube. Detector tubes of the same production lot have the same Lot No. When a Lot No. is registered, sample tubes with that Lot No. will be retained and monitored periodically to verify the quality. Each scale is determined for each production that has passed Nextteq®’s rigorous qualification testing protocol.

Detector tube number - A unique part number that defines the substance and range to be detected.
Example:
NX117VL NX - represents the Nextteq® brand.
117 - a unique Nextteq® number that represents the kind of substance the tube can measure (Carbon Dioxide).
VL - unique lettering that represents the concentration the tube can determine (Very Low range).

Chemical formula of the substance to be measured.

Nextteq® - A brand name that indicates the highest quality tube available in the market exclusively sold by Nextteq® International LLC.

Pump stroke volume - “100 mL” indicates that one complete pump stroke is required to collect the standard volume of sample air for this tube. “200 mL” indicates two complete pump strokes of 100 mL per stroke.

Additional Information

N/A Nextteq® offers the only HazMat Response Kit that includes:
  • Nextteq® NX-1000 Sampling Pump with Thermal Ring and anti-bacterial grip
  • VeriAir Flex® 1L foil bag that can capture on-site gases or vapors and can be sent to a lab for further analysis
  • Light sticks for increased lighting in dimly lit areas for safety
  • Extension hose (5m) for remote sampling
This kit is housed in a rugged Pelican case and features the NEW Nextteq® Gas Sampling Pump and Nextteq®'s Detector Tubes that are pre-calibrated and always ready to use. The NX-1000 pump has an anti-bacterial grip and a thermal ring that is useful when a temperature reading is required. Nextteq® pumps require fewer pump strokes and provide faster results than leading competitors. The direct-read tubes expedite accurate sampling without confusion, dual scales, or concentration charts. The kits are intrinsically safe with no batteries or electrical power required. On-the-spot results save time and money with no waiting for expensive laboratory analysis. The Nextteq® custom-designed decision flow charts (Inorganic Chart Testing and Organic Chart Testing) provide clear, step-by-step instructions for easy and precise chemical analysis. A VeriAir Flex® 1L Foil Bag is conveniently included for cases when you want to collect an area sample to bring back to a lab for further analysis.
