Midsummer Production Milestone
Big news for Interscan this month... more below!
Hello there,

We had a great month here at Interscan. Our biggest accomplishment was fully producing and shipping the first GasD8000 from our Camas Washington office! A huge step in the right direction, with many more to follow.

This month's newsletter explores the importance of bump-testing your gas detection system and monitoring gases in confined spaces. Then, we go over hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide, what these gases are used for, and the risks involved when dealing with these toxic gases.

Enjoy these reads, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want to make a new connection in the industry.

Stay safe, and happy reading!
