ION SENSE is Exhibiting at AQE 2026.

ION SENSE will showcase its latest photoionisation detector (PID) and particulate matter sensing technologies at AQE 2026 (Stand H40). Demonstrating solutions for indoor air quality, emissions monitoring, industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring applications. Visitors will be able to explore the latest sensor developments. Including high-sensitivity VOC detection, advanced particulate monitoring and new integration technologies for OEM instrument manufacturers.

What Sets Our MiniPID 2 PID Sensor Technology Apart?

ION SENSE’s range of MiniPID 2 sensors are globally recognised as the best available PID (Photoionisation Detection) sensors on the market. Thanks to their industry-leading sensitivity, reliability, and accuracy in VOC detection. By utilising this premium technology it’s possible to better monitor emissions that negatively impact health and the environment.

Thanks to advanced developments by our Research & Development team, ION SENSE PID technology is ideal for air quality and emissions monitoring. The patented fence electrode technology across all MiniPID 2 sensors helps minimise false readings by improving resistance to humidity and contamination while enhancing measurement stability. Combined with advanced electrode geometry and moisture filtering, this system effectively minimises false negatives.

Featured Technologies Include:

  • MiniPID 2 HS: Sub-ppb VOC detection for ultra-sensitive applications. 
  • MiniPID 2 PPB XF: Enhanced humidity resistance for continuous environmental monitoring.
  • MiniPID 2 10.0 eV: Optimised for applications involving compounds with lower ionisation energies, including benzene
  • NextPM & NextPM Advanced: Optical particulate matter sensors providing PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 measurements for outdoor and indoor air quality monitoring, construction ventilation ducts, and HVAC monitoring.
  • PMSCAN: Compact personal particulate exposure monitoring.

At the core of PID technology lies the ionising source: the lamp. Because this component is so critical to performance, ION SENSE manufactures it entirely in-house. Backed by over 35 years of significant investment in cutting-edge technology and continuous process refinement, ION SENSE delivers the highest quality lamps available on the market today.

Particulate Matter Technologies

As regulations and public awareness continue to drive demand for improved air quality monitoring, accurate particulate matter measurement has become increasingly important across environmental monitoring, HVAC systems and occupational hygiene applications. ION SENSE, is dedicated to improving air quality with innovative gas and particle sensing technology.

The NextPM sensor features patented airflow and humidity controls that ensure long-lasting, accurate measurements, even in harsh environmental conditions. In light of rising health concerns and stricter regulations, robust monitoring solutions like NextPM have become essential. For demanding HVAC environments, the NextPM Advanced provides reliable particulate matter (PM) monitoring by replacing the internal fan with an end piece designed to connect to an external pump. This specific configuration ensures stable operation under significant pressure differences.

Complementing this technology, the PMSCAN offers a compact and portable solution for personal exposure monitoring to fine particulate matter. Embedding the NextPM sensor, it delivers real-time air quality data in both µg/m³ and pcs/L with high accuracy, even in challenging environments. 

Integrating VOC and Particulate Monitoring

Combining VOC and particulate monitoring provides a more complete understanding of air quality. PID sensors detect volatile organic compounds present at very low concentrations, while particulate sensors measure airborne particles by size and concentration. Together they provide complementary information for indoor air quality, industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring applications enabling effective decision making.

As global demand for VOC monitoring intensifies, many of ION SENSE’s customers integrate these sensors into portable or fixed monitoring tools, making PID a trusted technology for air quality applications.
