Detector kits M256A1 Chemical Agent

The most widely available U.S. military detector for chemical agent vapors is the M256A1 Chemical Agent Detector Kit. These kits contain cards with vials of liquid chemical reagents attached that are combined and exposed to the air in a specific sequence. The kits must be manually manipulated, and the full sequence of tests takes 20 to 25 minutes. These kits are the most sensitive detector of nerve agent vapor and are not subject to the same type of interferents that can cause false alarms in some of the electronic detector systems. [Pg.138]

The Metropolitan Medical Strike Teams (MMSTs) being organized and equipped by the Public Health Service (PHS) have purchased M8 and M9 detection paper, M256A1 Detection Kits, Ml8 Detection Kits, Draegar kits, portable surface-acoustical-wave (SAW) chemical agent detectors (SAW MiniCAD), and chemical agent monitors (CAM). [Pg.55]

The M18 detection kit and the M256A1 kit are mihtary items. The M18 is a colorimetric device for measuring the concentration of selected airborne chemicals. The Ml8 comes with detector tubes for cyanide, phosgene. Lewisite, sulfur mustard, and nerve agents GA, GB, GD, and VX. [Pg.430]
