The
HazMat Smart M-8: Changes
colors when exposed to nerve agents, and other chemicals may
protect family members, police officers, firefighters and others. The baseball
card-sized Smart Strip can detect Nerve-G, Blister-H, and Nerve-V. Current
technology and decades old technology required responders to tape M-8
paper to their clothing in an effort to determine the presence of a
nerve agent. Smart M-8 is designed with the features needed for
effectively deploying nerve agent detection in the field.
The HazMat Smart M-8 is equipped with a peel and stick backing or can be
clipped to the clothing ensemble. Each strip consists of a reagent strip
which when in contact with a nerve reagent is self-contained and is
activated by removing the protective covering that is designed to
preserve the indicator layer until ready to use.
