The sample flow is diverted across the ChemLogic ® Cassette. The ChemLogic CL1/CL2 uses an advanced optical detection system to measure the light level reflected from the ChemLogic Cassette. As the target gas is detected, the color of the colorimetric tape within the cassette changes. This color change results in a loss of reflected light which is detected by the CL1/CL2 advanced optics system.
