PPB Gas Sensor
OEM gas sensor with state of the art sensing technology.




The MiniPID 2 PPB gas sensor is optimised to deliver an exceptionally low background which allows for optimum low-end sensitivity whilst maintaining a wide dynamic range, is virtually insensitive to humidity changes, providing unparalleled performance in a variety of applications. The MiniPID 2 PPB Wide Range sensor is a simple plug-and-play sensor able to deliver a dynamic and dependable response to thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) across many diverse applications.
The PPB gas sensor is a simple plug-and-play sensor able to deliver a dynamic and dependable response to thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) across many diverse applications.
The VOC sensor is designed for both diffusive and in-line pumped sampling, delivering an exceptional response time and clear down. The PPB gas sensor incorporates lamps of exceptional brightness and stability enabling detection of less volatile and less readily sensed compounds reliably, over an extended period of time.

FAQs
High percentage of humidity effects the performance and can result in False results. Ion Science PIDS are made with patent Fence Electrode Technology which minimises the effect of humidity on the performance of the sensor.
ION SENSE PIDS are certified to ATEX, IECEX and UL standards.
We use Isobutylene for calibration of our PIDS. The RF relates the sensitivity of PID to a volatile to the sensitivity to the standard calibration gas isobutylene.
