ion science We will be exhibiting at the Air Quality and Emissions Event (AQE) in Telford, UK on 12th and 13th October 2022.

ION Science’s MiniPID sensors are very popular worldwide due to their outstanding sensitivity, reliability and accuracy in VOC detection.

Returning to this year’s AQE in Stand L0, ION Science will be showcasing a range of PID sensors and components. This includes his three sensors that are best suited for air quality monitoring. The company’s MiniPID 2 PPB sensor is optimized for his ppb sensitivity on the low end. It offers a wide dynamic range and is ideal for measuring indoor and outdoor air quality in a variety of environments. ION Science’s MiniPID 2 HS sensor offers the highest level of sensitivity of any VOC sensor on the market. MiniPID 2 is designed for high sensitivity applications and provides sub-ppb measurements. The MiniPID 2 10.0 eV sensor is ideal for spaces where selective measurement of highly toxic VOCs such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) is required.

ION Science has developed PID technology that is ideal for air quality and emissions monitoring. ION Science’s R&D team has consistently succeeded in staying ahead of the field by creating market-leading sensor technology. All his MiniPID series include patented fence electrode technology that eliminates false positives. Fence electrodes protect the sensing electrodes from short circuits. Effective water filtration and advanced electrode geometries also minimize false negatives.

ION Science utilizes Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to monitor sensor performance. It also offers unmatched temperature stability. The ASIC performs important diagnostic tasks to indicate if the lamp has blown out or if the ionization chamber has been compromised. This allows the operator to know if the sensor has been compromised, thus avoiding exposure to dangerous gases. ION Science offers the world’s only fail-safe PID.

ION Science’s PID instruments are built around the ionization source, the lamp, which greatly contributes to the longevity, sensitivity and photon energy of these sensors. ION Science manufactures its lamps in-house and has spent decades working to come up with the highest quality lamps available in the air monitoring sector.

Combining MiniPID sensors with gas detection technology has proven to be a highly effective way to monitor air quality and emissions to protect people and their working environment.
