MIDAS-E-SHX Silane (SiH4) Gas Sensor Cartridge
Fast, accurate silane detection for industrial safety. The MIDAS-E-SHX cartridge uses a reliable 3-electrode electrochemical cell. It detects SiH4 from 0 to 20 ppm. The lower detection limit is 1.8 ppm. Response time is ≤ 3 seconds at t62.5. This fast response helps protect people and equipment in semiconductor fabs, gas cabinets, and research labs.
The cartridge delivers stable performance across 0°C to +40°C and 10 to 90% RH. It offers 0.1 ppm resolution and strong linearity. The expected cartridge life is ≥ 24 months under typical conditions. It suits continuous monitoring and low-maintenance deployments.

FAQ
Q: How fast does this cartridge respond to silane?
A: It responds in ≤ 3 seconds at t62.5. That is very fast for an electrochemical cell.
Q: What is the lowest level it can detect?
A: The lower detection limit is 1.8 ppm. The resolution is 0.1 ppm.
Q: How long does the cartridge last?
A: Expect ≥ 24 months under typical application conditions. Actual life depends on exposure and environment.
Q: Can I use it in cold rooms?
A: The operating range is 0°C to +40°C. Store spare cartridges at +5°C to +25°C.
Q: Which calibration gas should I use?
A: Use Silane (SiH4) for calibration. Use Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) for bump tests.
Q: How do I confirm compatibility with my detector?
A: Check your detector manual for the MIDAS-E-SHX part number. Then email sales@powergearx.com for confirmation.
Q: How quickly will my order ship?
A: We ship within 12–24 hours via FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
Q: What if the cartridge fails early?
A: A 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects. Contact us with your order number.
Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for plant spares?
A: Yes. Message WhatsApp +86 18030005825 with your quantities.
Q: What is your experience-based advice for first-time buyers?
A: Buy one extra cartridge as a spare. Silane lines cannot wait for a replacement. Also confirm your detector firmware accepts the MIDAS-E-SHX part number before you order.
Buying Guide
- Match the part number MIDAS-E-SHX to your detector model.
- Confirm your alarm set point needs (Alarm 1 at 2.4 ppm).
- Check site temperature and humidity stay within rated limits.
- Order a spare cartridge to avoid line downtime.
- Ask for bulk pricing on plant-wide rollouts.
- Keep calibration gas Silane (SiH4) and bump test gas H2S on hand.
