Gas detection for the medical industry and laboratories

In laboratories, research environments, and the medical industry, such as hospitals, various solvents like ethanol and acetone, as well as gases like oxygen, nitrogen, ozone, noble gases, and refrigerants, are commonly used. During evaporation and chemical reactions, harmful and explosive gases can develop, making accurate and reliable gas detection crucial.

No two laboratories are the same. The layout and types of gases and chemicals used can vary widely, meaning there is no one-size-fits-all solution for effective gas detection. At Geopal, we prefer to start such tasks with a thorough preliminary investigation of the premises and potential scenarios based on the gases in use. Properly sized and installed gas detection systems are essential for effective gas detection.

Nitrogen as a risk

Many research processes require rapid cooling and freezing, often using liquid nitrogen (nitrogen). Nitrogen itself is not toxic, but high concentrations of nitrogen in the air can displace oxygen in the lungs. In fresh air, the oxygen level is typically around 20.9 Vol.-%, but even at around 16 Vol.-% oxygen, a person’s judgment can be affected. Therefore, it is crucial that laboratories are optimally secured in terms of gas detection, as even a slight loss of judgment can result in a potentially hazardous environment.
