Spectrex Inc. is a well established manufacturer of high quality Flame and Gas Optical Detectors for high risk-high value applications such as the Oil and Gas industries. The company's innovative technical capabilities and unique technologies are covered by more than 25 different international patents. For over 25 years Spectrex has provided the market with detection and suppression systems and products meeting the highest customers' requirements for reliability, quality and operation under extremely tough environmental conditions. Its SharpEye Optical Flame Detectors and SafEye Optical Open Path (Line of Sight) Gas Detection Systems have become the leading safety equipment in Oil and Gas industries.

The SharpEye Flame Detector product line derives from the company's extensive worldwide experience in development, design and integration of UV/IR fire and explosion detection systems. These systems include thousands of military (MIL-SPEC) UV/IR detectors that are used in armored personnel carriers, tanks and naval vessels in addition to industrial and commercial applications. The optical flame detector line expanded to include the SharpEye 20/20 variety of models incorporating UV, IR, UV/IR , Triple IR (IR³) and CCTV Flame Detector technologies. These systems have demonstrated a unique level of reliability in terms of false alarms, durability and system failure, and have accumulated an excellent track record of performance in harsh industrial environments.

The SafEye Optical Open Path (Line of Sight) Systems are a new generation of  gas detection systems that monitor, detect, measure and indicate concentration levels of flammable and toxic gases. The systems provide unprecedented detection capability of gas/vapor concentrations ranging from as low as Parts Per Million (PPM) levels to Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) levels, and higher.

Spectrex Flame and Gas Monitoring Systems can function effectively under extreme environmental interferences, such as fog, rain, smog and are used in a wide range of applications involving oil and gas products such as hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic fluids, paints, solvents, aviation fuels, propane and hypergolic fuels (H₂O₂), hydrogen, hydrazine , hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) , aromatic compounds (BTX), ammonia and many more.
