Core offering

Analox designs, develops and manufactures fixed and portable gas detection equipment for defence, diving, industrial safety, food and beverage, laboratory, space and greenhouse gas monitoring applications. Its portfolio includes submarine atmosphere monitors, hyperbaric diving gas analysers, breathing air quality monitors, toxic gas alarms, and proprietary sensor modules (MEC, 5S3 NDIR, PID) used across its own products and supplied to OEMs. Products carry NATO Stock Numbers and are manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification.

Product overview

Analox is a UK-based manufacturer of precision gas sensing and monitoring solutions established in 1981. The company operates across three core pillars: Defence (land, maritime, and aerospace applications), Greenhouse Gases (agriculture and wastewater), and Safety (commercial diving, laboratories, food & beverage, space, and compressed air monitoring). The product portfolio is organized around specialized gas detection instruments including the ACG+ multi-gas compressor analyser for breathing air systems; the Ax60+ modular safety system with SAFE-OX (oxygen depletion/enrichment), CO, and CO2 sensor modules; the APM Atmosphere Protection Module for naval defence; and the SDA (Saturation Diving Analyser) range covering O2, CO2, CO, helium, depth, temperature/humidity, and rate of change monitoring for commercial diving operations. Additional products include the Sub Mk3P submarine rescue analyser, Sub NOx post-fire monitoring system, Hyper-Gas MkII hyperbaric hydrocarbon monitor, HYP partial pressure O2 analyser, ADM Aspida portable diver monitor, SV-HAT aerospace temperature/humidity sensor, and supporting sensor modules (5S MkIII, MEC). The portfolio serves safety-critical industries where accuracy and reliability are essential.

• Sub NOx Submarine nitrogen oxides (NOx) analyser designed to detect and quantify nitric oxide and related combustion gases inside a submarine's atmosphere to protect crew.
• SV-HAT Space helmet atmosphere tracker designed to monitor the breathing environment inside an astronaut's helmet or other crewed spaceflight life-support systems.
• Hyper-Gas MkII Hyperbaric gas analyser for commercial diving, capable of measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide in breathing gas mixes at hyperbaric pressures for diving operators and hyperbaric chamber facilities.
• HYP Partial Pressure O2 Analyser Hyperbaric partial-pressure oxygen analyser for measuring O2 partial pressure in diving breathing gas mixes at depth.
• ADM Aspida Portable gas analyser aimed at divers and dive operations for on-site verification of breathing gas quality.
• 5S MkIII Intelligent NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) CO2 sensor module with digital interface, sold as a standalone OEM component for integration into third-party equipment and used across Analox's own product range.
• MEC Intelligent electrochemical sensor module with digital interface and temperature compensation, used across Analox's own products for oxygen and other gas detection and sold to OEM customers for integration into third-party instruments.
• SDA O2 Part of the SDA Range of diving analysers, the SDA O2 measures oxygen in diving breathing gas mixes.
• SDA CO2 Part of the SDA Range of diving analysers, the SDA CO2 measures carbon dioxide in diving breathing gas mixes.
• SDA O2 Dual Dual-channel oxygen analyser from the SDA Range providing redundant or wide-range oxygen measurement for diving applications.
• SDA CO Carbon monoxide analyser from the SDA Range for CO monitoring in diving breathing gas mixes.
• SDA Depth Depth/dive parameter analyser from the SDA Range, providing depth-related measurements for diving operations.
• SDA He Helium analyser from the SDA Range, used to measure helium content in diving breathing gas mixes such as heliox.
• SDA Temperature & Humidity Temperature and humidity analyser from the SDA Range, providing complementary environmental measurements for diving applications.
• SDA ROC Rate-of-change analyser from the SDA Range, providing dynamic gas-mix trend measurements for diving applications.
