(August 2017) – Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, announces its most recent contract award: to be the sole supplier for the U.S. Coast Guard’s custom Chameleon® HAZMAT Refill Cassette Kits. Morphix is the current supplier of the U.S. Coast Guard’s inventory of over 6,000 Chameleon® Chemical Detection Armbands. This new contract will allow Morphix Technologies’ to provide increased capability with the Chameleon HazMat Refill Kit containing Chameleon cassettes for 10 hazardous chemicals rather than eight. The CBRNe branch has articulated that with each mission, USCG personnel enter unknown areas with absolutely no idea what type of dangers they may encounter. This additional detection capability will help keep themselves and those they serve safer.

HAZMAT using Chameleon Chemical Detection KitThe Chameleon Chemical Detection Armband is an easy-to-use, inexpensive, wearable, reusable armband that can hold up to 10 one-time-use, disposable cassettes. Each cassette detects a particular toxic chemical or class of chemicals and changes colors upon detection of the chemical agent.
