For more than 25 years, Dexsil has designed and manufactured testing products for a variety of industries and applications. As a supplier of specialty chemicals to gas chromatographers, we have kept up-to-date with the many advances in the field of instrumental analytical chemistry and the truly remarkable detection capabilities that these instruments possess. We have also realized that the latest, most expensive analytical instrumentation is not always the most efficient testing method.

This results in an inexpensive test kit that can be used in the field with confidence by someone who is not a full time analytical chemist but is required to do testing as just one of many tasks.
