ChemRae Chemical Warfare Agent Detector from Rae Systems

ChemRae is the latest in state of the art handheld Chemical Warfare Agent detection and identification systems. It is Rae Systems' next generation sensor technology based on tested and proven Open Loop Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technology. The ChemRae uses an improved Ion Mobility Cell, which provides enhanced selectivity and sensitivity. It is designed to detect chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemical (TICs).

ChemRae can be used as a stand alone portable monitor or integrated into an AreaRae network by using a RaeLink2 modem. Integration into an AreaRae network allows users to add CWA detection to their existing complement of AreaRae and Rae Systems portable gas monitors.

The ChemRae weighs less than 2 pounds and can be powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack or AA batteries. The system has clear, simple user interface, which can be operated with just one hand. The display provides the operator with identification of the agent and agent class, a bar graph or agent concentration and relative time based dose. The display also shows a battery life indicator, audible alarm level, date and time.

The ChemRae stores agent alarm information for retrieval at a later time to provide a historical log of events. When integrated into an AreaRae network, ChemRae's data is automatically logged by the ProRae Remote base station computer.

ChemRae is equipped with two detection libraries for detection of a wide range of chemical weapons and toxic industrial chemicals of interest to first responders.

The ChemRae is small enough to use as a personal detector, a monitor for surveying contaminated areas or a fixed installation detector. It provides continuous operation and unlike other IMS systems it does not require expendable desiccant cartridges. The ChemRae has no consumables and is designed for low life cycle and operating costs.
