GRENOBLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AIRQUALITY--Dry ice, frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), maintains the Covid-19 vaccines at very low temperatures. As dry ice warms and changes from a frozen to a gaseous state, it creates an excessive presence of CO2 gas which could affect the health of workers.

eLichens� Cranberry NDIR (Non-Dispersive-Infra-Red) CO2 sensor is designed to serve such critical applications. By continuously monitoring CO2 levels and triggering alerts when high thresholds are exceeded our CO2 sensor integrated into the Honeywell BW� SOLO CO2 product has become essential for workers' protection when manipulating large volumes of dry ice as it prevents toxic health effects such as asphyxia, dizziness, disorientation, fatigue and convulsions.

�We are very proud that eLichens CO2 sensor has been selected by Honeywell for their BW� SOLO CO2 product to monitor and alert workers in case of unsafe conditions and minimize disruptions throughout the Covid-19 vaccine cold supply chain,� said Wahid Issa, Chief Executive Officer of eLichens.

eLichens� Cranberry 1-series NDIR sensor is the smallest industrial grade CO2 sensor on the market. It is high performance, dual channel and ultra-low power.

�Working closely with eLichens we quickly saw the technical benefits of their technology and that this was a great fit for our BW� SOLO CO2 product giving us a sensor that performs in extreme conditions and a reliability that the end user can trust,� said Richard Dunn, Senior Offering Management Leader at Honeywell.
