Relevant cross-sensitivities – DrägerSensor XS EC Hydrazine

The values given in the table are guide values and apply to new sensors. The values stated may vary by ±30%. The sensor may also be sensitive to other gases (data available from Dräger on request). Gas mixtures may be displayed as a combined total. Gases with a negative sensitivity can cancel out a positive hydrazine reading. It should therefore be checked whether gas mixtures are present.
