VOC gas leaks detected faster than ever
Ion Science Limited have launched the Phocheck 5000EX hand-held ionisation instrument, which can find and monitor leaks of VOC gases even down to 10 ppb levels
The early detection of these agents is paramount for first responders to establish the risk involved given a spillage or attack.
The PhoCheck instruments also detect a wide range of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and other toxic gases.
The 5000Ex, at the top of the range, is an intrinsically safe instrument with a detecting level from parts per billion to 10,000ppm (of many gases) making it the only PID on the market with such a range.
Importantly, these instruments are field upgradeable; allowing users to begin with a basic instrument, and then upgrade the PID as needs change.
