Blackline Safety has partnered with NevadaNano resulting in the deployment of over 20,000 of Blackline Safety G7 wearables and EXO portable area gas monitors on customer worksites integrated with the Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS™) flammable gas sensor.

“Not only does MPS eliminate the problem with chemical poisoning of traditional pellistor sensors, but it also enables G7 and EXOs to deliver accurate readings for more than a dozen combustible gases — including hydrogen and blended combustibles.”

MPS offers the most accurate and comprehensive gas detection readings to enhance worker safety, productivity and confidence. NevadaNano's disruptive multi-gas detection technology is the first new approach to flammable gas detection in over 40 years.

“Our partnership with NevadaNano ensures our customers have the most advanced combustible gas detection technology available for our personal and area gas monitors to support the safety and productivity of worksite personnel and protect the communities where they operate,” said Brendon Cook, Chief Partnership Officer, Blackline Safety.

"Not only does MPS eliminate the problem with chemical poisoning of traditional pellistor sensors, but it also enables G7 and EXOs to deliver accurate readings for more than a dozen combustible gases — including hydrogen and blended combustibles.”

Unlike traditional sensors, the MPS sensors accurately report 0-100% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) across 18 of the most common flammable gases with a single factory calibration and no field maintenance over their lifetime, which provides confidence the devices are working as they should and saves time by eliminating the need for ongoing bump and calibration tests. They are also inherently immune to drift, decay, or poison.

Integrated, real-time measurements and built-in compensation for temperature, pressure, and humidity further enhance the accuracy of the MPS ensuring concentration readings are accurate across a range of environmental conditions and delivering best-in-class elimination of false alarms.

“NevadaNano is proud to help Blackline Safety deliver smart sensing anywhere with our MPS flammable gas sensor,” said Ralph Whitten, President, and Member of Board of Directors, NevadaNano. “The MPS delivers unprecedented accuracy by eliminating alarms and detecting multiple gases simultaneously, while protecting the health and safety of workers and communities around the world.”
