How Photoionisation Works

Discover how photoionisation detection (PID) sensors work and what sets ION SENSE® apart in this in-depth explainer.

At the core of every PID sensor lies a high-energy ultraviolet lamp. In this video, we break down the science behind how volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ionised and detected, transforming invisible gas concentrations into measurable signals.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, our third-generation PID sensors are built for performance and reliability. They’re also backward-compatible with MiniPID 2 form factors and come with full integration support.

Whether you’re evaluating sensors for industrial safety, environmental monitoring, or research applications, ION SENSE® offers a smarter solution.
