5 Years of ChemProX, Recipe for Success Blog Series

For the past five years, I have had the privilege of managing the development and evolution of our next generation handheld chemical detector, ChemProX.

When we first introduced advanced wireless communication capabilities into our detectors, we knew we were addressing a critical need in the field. Today, seeing how these features have proven their worth in real-world operations reaffirms the decisions we made.

Traditional VS Enhanced Method in Chemical Detection

Traditionally, chemical detection relied on manual readings and isolated assessments, often delaying response times and increasing operational risks. Our enhanced method revolutionized this process by integrating real-time data sharing, significantly improving situational awareness for field operators and command centers. This shift has allowed for faster decision-making and a more coordinated approach to handling hazardous situations.

What stands out most is the consistent feedback from our customers — military, and first responders — who emphasize how our enhanced method has improved their efficiency and effectiveness. The ability to share data wirelessly means teams no longer operate in silos but as a unified force, ensuring quicker, more informed responses. The durability and reliability of the ChemProX has also been tested extensively in diverse environments, proving that our technology remains robust even in the most demanding conditions.

ChemProX being test in Inari, Finalnd, on February 2020. The device’s operating temperature has been set to -32 °C > 55 °C (-25.6 °F to 131 °F) which makes it compliant with MIL-STD-810G (Military Standard).

An Evolving Detector for an Evolving Threat

Looking forward, we continue to listen to our customers and adapt our solutions to meet their evolving needs. Advances in connectivity, detection capability and reliability, and automation present exciting opportunities for further enhancing our detection solutions. Our goal remains the same: to provide reliable, intuitive, and high-performing chemical detection solutions that keep our customers ahead of emerging threats.

The success of our unique chemical detector, ChemProX, over the past five years is a testament to its practical value. We are proud of the trust our customers place in us, and we remain committed to refining and expanding our capabilities to support them in the future. The recipe for success remains strong.
