The company's sensor and measurement products include photoionization detectors that are used to measure volatile organic compounds, toxic chemical warfare agents, and toxic industrial chemicals; catalytic bead pellistors, which are used to detect and measure combustible gas; and non-dispersive infrared sensors that are used to measure carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. These products also consist of electro-chemical sensors, which are used to measure oxygen and toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide; solid polymer electrode sensors that are used to measure oxygen; and solid-state scintillation detectors, which are used in neutron and gamma radiation. The company's integrated wireless products consist of AreaRAE, a wireless-enabled gas detector, which provides transmission of monitoring information to a base station located two miles away from the detectors; and MeshGuard that has the ability to transmit radio data in and around metal structures that are difficult for clear radio transmission. Its radiation products include Gamma RAE IIR, NeutronRAE II, AreaRAE Gamma, AreaRAE Steel Gama, and DoseRAE that are used in handheld instruments to detect low levels of radiation on a real-time basis, as well as dosimeters, which are used in nuclear power plants to protect personnel from radiation exposure.
