Detect Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and Insecticides with Confidence

MIRA Safety DETEHIT CWD-3 Detection Strips are essential tools for verifying environmental safety against lethal chemical threats. These advanced detection strips provide rapid, visual confirmation of dangerous concentrations of G-series (Sarin/GB, Soman/GD, Tabun/GA, GF, GP) and V-series (VX) nerve agents, as well as organophosphate insecticides, in multiple critical matrices: air, water, food, and hard surfaces. Trusted globally by military, first responders, preparedness professionals, and civilian organizations, DETEHIT strips are a cornerstone of CBRN safety protocols.

Core Applications & Benefits

• PPE Safety Verification: Determine when airborne CWA concentrations have reduced sufficiently to safely remove protective gear (PPE) after potential exposure or decontamination.
• Critical Resource Screening: Uniquely test food and drinking water potability for CWA or insecticide contamination—capability beyond standard air-only detectors.
• Environmental Hazard Assessment: Quickly identify CWA presence on surfaces or in the immediate atmosphere, enabling informed safety decisions.
• Rapid Response: Receive clear visual results for airborne threats in as little as 2–3 minutes.

Key Features & Technical Advantages

• Dual-Phase Detection Technology: Each plastic strip integrates a white cotton reaction zone with immobilized cholinesterase, a paper zone with chromogen substrate, and a yellow cotton color standard for clear visual indication.
• Multi-Matrix Testing: Test air, water, food, and surfaces for G/V nerve agents and organophosphate insecticides.
• Clear Safety Threshold Indicators:
  • Contaminated: Reaction within 2–3 minutes indicates dangerous contamination levels.
  • PPE Removal Safe: Reaction between 5–15 minutes indicates reduced airborne concentration (always decontaminate before removing PPE).
  • Food/Water Safe: Reaction taking 15–30 minutes indicates safe consumption levels.
• Operational Resilience: Functions reliably from −20 °C to +40 °C (−4 °F to 104 °F); antifreeze liquid required below 0 °C / 32 °F.
• Portable & Ready: 10 individually foil-sealed strips per sealed polyethylene tube; pocket-friendly and easy to carry.
• Immediate Activation: The detection process begins as soon as a strip is removed from its protective foil.

Critical Notes for Safe & Effective Use

• Limitation: Indicates presence and relative concentration of G/V-series agents and organophosphates; does not speciate exact agent type.
• PPE Protocol: A 5–15 minute reaction suggests airborne levels are reduced, but ALWAYS decontaminate before removing PPE (e.g., gas masks, suits).
• Cold Weather Operation: Use the specified antifreeze liquid below 0 °C / 32 °F.
• Immediate Activation: Strips begin reacting with ambient air once unsealed; open only when ready to test.

What’s in the Tube

• 10 DETEHIT CWD-3 detection strips (individually foil-sealed; packed as 2 blocks of 5)
• Instructions for use
• Sealed polyethylene tube (pocket-friendly)

Quick FAQs

Does DETEHIT identify the exact nerve agent?
No. It provides a presence/relative concentration indication for G/V-series nerve agents and organophosphate insecticides. It does not distinguish the specific agent.

Can I use DETEHIT to know when to remove my gas mask?
You can use the time-to-reaction threshold (5–15 minutes) as an indicator that airborne concentrations have decreased, but you must decontaminate first and follow your safety protocol before removing PPE.

Is antifreeze mandatory in subfreezing conditions?
Yes. Below 0 °C / 32 °F, use the specified antifreeze liquid to ensure proper function.
