Portable benzene and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) detectors
Tiger XTL
Entry level detector for VOC monitoring.
The Tiger XTL portable VOC gas detector offers simple one-handed operation even when wearing the thickest gloves. The Tiger XTL has an external molding of thermoplastic elastomer; this rubber material is semi-conductive, making the Tiger XTL intrinsically safe. The large, clear backlit display allows for easy viewing in any lighting condition. A built-in flashlight is designed to direct the instrument’s probe into dimly lit areas. The illuminated keypad activates in low light. The Tiger XTL has a rechargeable battery release button that allows for quick, easy, and safe battery connection.
Tiger XL
Accurate and precise detector for the detection of VOCs.
The Tiger XT is fully upgradeable, allowing users to add additional functionality as needed. Upgradeable features include Health and Safety mode, PPB sensitivity, data logging, single log only (Push to Log), and multi-log only. The Tiger XT is fully upgradeable without having to return the instrument to the factory.
Tiger XT Select
Accurate and reliable detector for benzene and total aromatic compounds.
Tiger XT Select is a portable benzene PID gas detector with two operating modes for the rapid detection of benzene gas and total aromatic compounds (TACs) that provide accurate and reliable data. The Tiger XT Select portable benzene PID gas detector is capable of providing 15-minute short-term exposure limits (STELs) and 8-hour time-weighted averages (TWAs) for total aromatic compounds (TACs). The Tiger XT Select can also be used in “standard Tiger operating mode” without the use of a benzene pre-filter tube to provide active indication of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including benzene, at concentrations down to 1 ppb benzene equivalent. This gas detector has an external thermoplastic elastomer molding; this rubber material is semi-conductive, making the Tiger XT Select intrinsically safe.
Cub - Personal Monitor
Accurate and precise detector for the detection of VOCs.
The Cub TAC 10.0 eV personal total aromatic gas monitor provides fast and accurate detection of total aromatic compounds (TACs) to keep you safe in your workplace. When worker exposure exceeds preset limits, the Cub TAC 10.0 eV’s alarm signals (audio, vibration, and flashing) alert you to the gases present. Readings are displayed on its bright, backlit LCD display with selectable data logging intervals. The Cub TAC 10.0 eV uses ION Science’s patented PID technology, which has been independently verified as the best performer in speed, accuracy, and humidity resistance. Its unique anti-contamination design and patented “Fence Electrode” technology ensure extended operating time in the harshest environments, delivering accurate results you can rely on.
Portable benzene and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) detectors
Titan 2
The world's first continuous benzene monitor
The Titan 2 offers a world-leading solution for benzene detection, providing precise detection at levels as low as 0.02 ppm (20 ppb) and up to 20 ppm within 60 seconds. The Titan 2 benzene gas monitor is specifically designed to analyze airborne hazards and can be used to evaluate the efficiency of purification or vapor recovery units (VRU) systems. The Titan 2 benzene gas monitor is certified for use in ATEX-rated environments and locations. Additionally, the enclosure is IP65-rated, providing reliable protection against dust and water intrusion.
Falco
Latest-generation fixed VOC detector for plant protection and worker safety.
The Falco/Falco diffusion TAC device features an intrinsically safe sensor located externally for quick and easy maintenance without the need for a hot work permit. Dual certification allows the Falco device to be serviced and calibrated in hazardous environments without removing power! The standard Falco device comes with a 10.6 eV lamp, allowing the instrument to detect a wide range of VOC gases. The fixed gas detector has four detection ranges available, including 0 – 10 ppm, 0 – 50 ppm, 0 – 1000 ppm, and 0 – 3000 ppm. The Falco TAC device uses a 10.0 eV lamp to detect Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs), which helps focus on benzene. The Falco TAC device is available with a detection range of 0 – 50 ppm.

TVOC2
Continuously detects volatile organic compounds with multiple ranges
This rugged, fixed-mount VOC monitor has a selectable range of 0–10 ppm, 0–100 ppm, or 0–1000 ppm and is ideal for use in manufacturing and process industries where VOCs are commonly present. With a 4–20 mA analog output, the fixed-mount VOC monitor can easily be integrated into a control system (DCS) to provide warnings and control high VOC levels in your work environment! ATEX and IECEx certified, it can be used in Zone 2 and Zone 1 areas without safety barriers.
Portable leak detectors
Calibrated Leaks
This fitting allows you to create calibrated leaks for testing monitoring systems.
IonScience manufactures leak-proof fittings calibrated to specific customer requirements based on the required flow rate, pressure, and gas type. Each fitting is ISO 9001:2008 certified, ensuring high quality and accuracy. They are constructed of stainless steel to ensure long-term accuracy and are easily installed for annual inspections.
Panther
Panther Gas Leak Detector
The Panther gas leak detector is the winning evolution of the GasCheck series. Designed for the accurate detection of gas leaks, it stands out for its ergonomic design, making it easy to handle.
Mercury vapor detectors
Detector MVI
For fast and accurate detection of Mercury Vapor Indicator (MVI).
It is a revolutionary instrument capable of detecting mercury vapor in just 3 seconds. Its dual-beam UV absorption technology and ability to detect high mercury concentrations without saturation make it unique on the market. It uses a high-performance pump and features audible alarm systems. It does not require regeneration between readings, eliminating downtime. It allows continuous measurements and offers detection ranges from 0.1 to 200 μg/m³ and from 1.0 to 1999 μg/m³. It is ideal for monitoring TWAs (time-weighted averages).
SF6 leak detectors
SF6 Leakmate
Low-cost SF6 leak detector
It is the ideal portable instrument for detecting SF6 leaks with a lower detection limit of 1 E-6 mbar l/sec, suitable for checking for leaks in electrical panels. The instrument is equipped with audio alarms that alert the user to leaks and a bargraph LED display that allows the extent of the leak to be understood. It has a response time of approximately 1 second. A special “auto shift” function compensates for any pre-existing concentration levels in an environment due to previous leaks.
SF6 Area Check P2
Designed for continuous monitoring of SF6.
Fixed SF6 monitoring instrument that quickly detects SF6 leaks with high sensitivity. It also features a relay output for alarm or security systems. It is unaffected by other gases in the air or humidity. The instrument can be managed via PC or network interface. It does not use suction pumps, thus avoiding the problems associated with filter cleaning.
