CO2 BUDDY
The Analox CO2BUDDY is a compact, lightweight personal alarm designed to detect carbon dioxide (CO2) and warn users of dangerous concentrations in confined or enclosed spaces. It’s ideal for anyone working around stored or used CO2, from pub cellars and bars to laboratories, breweries, grow houses, and food processing plants. The CO2BUDDY provides reliable personal safety wherever fixed monitoring isn’t available. Small enough to clip to a pocket, belt, or lanyard, this easy-to-use monitor provides peace of mind for technicians, delivery drivers, and maintenance teams.

How it works
Using advanced Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensing technology, the CO2BUDDY continuously monitors surrounding air for elevated CO2 levels. When unsafe conditions are detected, it alerts the user through sound, light, and vibration. The unit also tracks Time-Weighted Average (TWA) exposure over an eight-hour period, helping ensure compliance with workplace exposure limits and identifying long-term risk. Calibration is quick and easy with a simple fresh air process, saving time and service costs.
Designed for convenience and reliability
Built with safety and simplicity in mind, the CO2BUDDY fully charges in two hours using a standard Micro USB connection and operates in temperatures from 0 to 40°C. The robust sensor design ensures a long service life, and the product comes with a two-year warranty.
Applications
The CO2BUDDY is used across many industries where CO2 exposure may occur. It is popular in beverage and hospitality settings such as pubs, bars, restaurants, and fast-food outlets, as well as in laboratories and medical facilities with cryogenic processes. It is also widely used in breweries, wineries, food production, agricultural grow houses, stadiums, shopping centres, and by gas and beverage delivery drivers.
