The “AGX” Series, Silver impregnated Zeolite Cartridges contain a highly efficient inorganic adsorbent for the collection and removal of elemental and organic forms of radioactive Iodine. Laboratory test indicate that radioactive Xenon, Krypton, and other Noble Gases are not retained to any significant degree by Silver impregnated Zeolite cartridges (approximately 1/15,000th, or less, than that retained by activated Carbon). The media is nonflammable and operates at a very high efficiency at elevated temperatures. These cartridges are the preferred and specified type for use in post accident standby monitoring systems. All AGX-Series cartridges are individually heat-sealed in an airtight 6-mil polyethylene package to prevent contamination before use.
