As you all know, the only way to make sure that your trimix is breathable 
is to do an use a gas spectrometer. While the O2 content can be analyzed 
via a sensor, the only way to assure that you don't have a toxic level of 
helium is to have either an analysis system at home or to ship out a 
sample to a company.

Personally, I use a VG Gas Analysis APEX system. My wife complains that 
the lights dim everytime I fire that sucker up, but, hey I don't want to 
helitox, no way baby!

So, Greg do you use a spectrometer or a a moleomatic molecule counter to 
avoid helitox?
