PID instruments enhance VOC detection

An Ion Science product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 27, 2007

Superior software features give significant user benefits including data logging, TWTEL averaging and detection capabilities down to parts-per-billion levels.

Ion Science now offers a complete series of FirstCheck+ multigas/PID instruments with enhanced performance and user flexibility for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The superior software features of the FirstCheck+ give significant user benefits including data logging, TWTEL averaging, and detection capabilities down to parts-per-billion levels.

The instrument's unique ability to be upgraded throughout the entire FirstCheck+ range provide the flexibility to add extra features as required.

The upgrade process uses the bidirectional IRDA link built into the unit, which communicates with a similarly equipped laptop with proprietary ION-pc software.

Upgradeability is made easy - a base unit can be upgraded all the way to a parts-per-billion unit without being returned to the factory.

The range of FirstCheck+ multi-gas/PID instruments combine photoionisation detection (PID) with traditional multigas sensors for oxygen, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide and explosive gas detection.

The highly sensitive PID enables the detection of many gases that are toxic at low ppb levels and undetected by other VOC multigas instruments.

Traditionally two or three instruments are needed to ensure workers' safety FirstCheck+ has it all covered in one handheld detector.

Like all Ion Science PIDs, FirstCheck+ incorporate patented Fence Electrode Technology that eliminate typical high humidity issues encountered by PID technology since its introduction.

Drift and high backgrounds have been dramatically reduced, even at extreme ambient humidity levels.

The latest range of Ion Science FirstCheck+ PID instruments provides the environmental chemist, first responder and industrial hygienist alike with increased reliability, productivity and optimal performance in the field.
