Morphix Technologies’ colorimetric chemical detection products save lives. Through simple detection of hazardous gasses, SafeAir, ChromAir and Chameleon warn users of dangers in the air — allowing the user to take appropriate action.

The alert systems couldn’t be simpler: innovative color-change technology measures levels of exposure to a wide range of chemical agents in real time, without the burden of additional hardware or an external power source. Easy-to-read and cost-effective, these unobtrusive sensors provide up-to-the-minute feedback that is invaluable for military, law enforcement, first response, emergency, homeland security and industrial personnel.

Morphix Technologies is a privately-owned American business that develops, manufactures and sells colorimetric chemical detection products that are easy to use, lightweight and inexpensive. These sensors save lives of military, law enforcement, emergency response and industrial personnel worldwide.

Since its inception in 1991, Morphix Technologies has worked tirelessly to stay at the forefront of colorimetric chemical detection solutions—adapting to the inevitable changes in science and customers’ needs.  It is this flexibility and longevity that makes Morphix a leader in its industry.

The company began as Gilian Environmental (a division of Gilian Instruments) in 1991.  Shortly after, it developed chemical detection badges for industrial use. To this day, industrial hygiene professionals rely on SafeAir and ChromAir badges to monitor exposure to toxic gasses.

Four years later, five employees offered to buy the division from Gilian, which became K & M Environmental.  For the first nine months, a tiny staff worked 9 to 5 selling products and after hours actually manufacturing them by hand.  Within a year, the company was profitable.

In the early 2000s, the company began to focus on developing solutions for military personnel and first responders.  To match its expanding customer base and capabilities, the company was renamed Morphix Technologies. 

In 2005, the company launched the Chameleon product line, which provides rugged, easy-to-use chemical detection for military and first response personnel.   The Chameleon could not have come at a more important time, as terrorism, meth labs and even chemical suicides have become serious concerns for warfighters and first responders.  Since the Chameleon was first introduced, Morphix Technologies has listened carefully to its customers’ needs, expanding its list of detectable chemicals and offering kits for use in specific settings. 

In 2008, Morphix Technologies was awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification, demonstrating the company’s commitment to developing, manufacturing and selling high quality products.  This designation helps Morphix to better serve its customers.

Today, Morphix Technology is continuing its commitment to industry, law enforcement, first responders and military clients.
