IGD are pleased to announce they have officially partnered with mPower Electronics Inc., USA. This strategic partnership will allow IGD to offer mPower portable detectors, further extending our portable gas detector portfolio. The mPower range, now available through IGD, includes the NEO portable VOC detectors featuring PID sensors, and POLI portable multi gas portables, with nearly 40 different sensor options. This new strategic partnership allows IGD to offer a wider range of portables to our clients and a full, diverse range of detection options.
Why do I Need a Carbon Dioxide Monitor for my Classroom?
In the fight against COVID-19 the UK Government has announced the purchase of portable carbon dioxide monitor, as CO2 is an indication of air quality in the environment. Too much CO2 indicates poor ventilation and increase in COVID-19 spreading. With this in mind our article aims to discuss the UK Governments CO2 monitoring recommendations and how the iGAS portable CO2 monitor is the ideal solution for classroom CO2 monitoring.
Features of the Portable H2 Gas Monitor
Our latest blog post delves into the features of the Senko portable H2 gas monitor. Designed for a wide variety of industries, the SGT-P H2 Gas monitor is a go to cost effective solution for personal detection of hydrogen. The model is also becoming more popular with the emerging hydrogen market. Companies are now moving to hydrogen as a green energy source and for applications such as batteries. With increased usage of hydrogen both in research and as a fuel source, its important employees have detectably better protection in place. Read further to learn more about the key features of the SGT-P H2 gas monitor and why it is the go-to monitor for personal protection for hydrogen leak detection.
Using Portable Carbon Dioxide Monitors in Commercial Refrigeration
Commercial refrigeration are now moving to use carbon dioxide as their choice for refrigerant gas, due to its low global warming potential. However CO2 is a toxic gas under UK COSHH and US OSHA regulations. This means you need to have systems in place to monitor for any Co2 leaks. Importantly those visiting commercial refrigeration sites need to protect themselves from the toxic effects of CO2. Our article addresses this issue and why you need a portable CO2 detector and our iGAS CO2 portable monitor.
Flammable & Toxic Gas Detection Solutions for Boiler Houses
Boiler equipment is usually stored in its own room, known as a boiler house, which is typically unventilated. Boiler houses are often visited infrequently, meaning that if there are toxic or flammable gases leaking, they are more likely to go undetected. Read our article to learn why you need an automatic gas detection system and our gas detection solutions.
Using Chlorine Gas Detectors in Swimming Pool Plant Rooms
Imagine going to a swimming pool and returning home with severe respiratory problems. The chances of this happening are high in public swimming pools that do not use chlorine gas detectors. Chlorine i
Confined Space Gas Detectors—What You Need to Know
A ‘confined space’ as defined for this article is any fully enclosed space where a risk may exist from noxious fumes, reduced oxygen levels or flammable gases. Site workers must often enter such space
Maintaining Cleanroom Safety with Sampling Gas Detectors
Cleanrooms are enclosed facilities specially designed to control levels of airborne contamination. Depending on the particle concentration (per m3), clean rooms are categorized into nine ISO classes. Class 1 being the purest and containing only 12 particles per cubic meter. By contrast, the particulate concentration of ambient air is around 35 million particles per cubic meter. Sampling gas detectors are used to monitor for safety cleanroom environments in scientific research and manufacturing industries.

Gas Detection Solutions for Cold Room Applications
Cold room units (or walk-in freezers) are an integral part of the food and beverage processing industries. Typical refrigerant gases include carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrocarbons such as propane, isobutane and propylene. Older cold storage solutions still use freon gases such as R134a. Thus, a versatile range of gas detection solutions are required for cold storage applications.

Using Formaldehyde Gas Detectors in Medical Labs
Formaldehyde (CH2O) is a fairly simple chemical compound that is naturally produced in low volumes through regular cellular metabolism. It is best known for its profound anti-bacterial characteristics hence its long-standing application as one of the main preservatives used in mortuaries. However, formaldehyde solutions—where the gas is mixed with an aqueous mobile phase—are extremely valuable to a wide range of medical research areas. They are routinely used to deactivate viruses for vaccine manufacturing, for instance.
Our article discusses the toxic hazards of formaldehyde and our formaldehyde gas detector solutions.
