Silane Gas Detector

Can someone recommend a solution for Silane Gas Detection

Since Silane Burns Immediately in contact with air, will the gas ever be detected?

My client recommends using an I/R Flame Detector. Can someone recommend a source?
Thanks

There is a company that produces nothing but semiconductor and corosive gas
detectors.

For trace silane in air, ie. a detector application, we use Draeger's Polytron 2 with a Hydride Detector Cell (P/N 68 09 635).
The LEL or auto-ignition concentration in air for pure silane is around 1.4%.
If you want to check for silane in an oxygen free background gas like Ar or H2, consider a system based on IR adsorption measurement. We are measuring % silane levels with a NDIR analyzer and are currently looking for an upgrade. Right now my favorite is the MSA Chemgard with a 316SS sample system and their Photoacoustic Infrared technology.
