Portable benzene and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) detectors
Entry level detector for VOC monitoring.
Entry level detector for VOC monitoring.
An inexpensive but accurate photo-ionisation detector for the detection of volatile organic compounds. It has a range from 0.1 to 5000 ppm. It can be used as a personal protection detector but also as a space analyser. Designed for use in the field, it has a 24-hour operating time even in humid environments. It has an industry record response time of 2 seconds. It can store 80000 points and up to 128 user-settable zones.
Accurate and precise detector for the detection of VOCs.
Entry level detector for VOC monitoring.
It is an advanced VOC detector with a range from 1ppb to 20000ppm with a fast response time of 2 seconds. It contains a gas table of 480 detectable compounds. The instrument can be connected to a PC via a USB cable for fast configuration and analysis of collected data. It can record up to 120000 readings in its internal memory.
Accurate and reliable detector for benzene and total aromatic compounds.
Entry level detector for VOC monitoring.
It is based on photo-ionisation technology (PID) and is capable of operating to detect only benzene or total aromatic compounds using special pre-filter cartridges. The device has been optimised to minimise downtime and the reading is immediate. It also provides data for testing the 15 min or 8 hour exposure limits. Without the use of cartridges it can also offer VOC data down to concentrations of 1ppb.
Accurate and precise detector for the detection of VOCs.
Entry level detector for VOC monitoring.
The Cub is a personal safety monitor for the detection of hazardous and toxic gases. Cub is the smallest, lightest and most sensitive personal safety PID monitor for monitoring VOCs and total aromatic compounds. It has a sensitivity of ppb and can quickly warn of the presence of toxic gases, including benzene, before they reach dangerous levels.
Stationary detectors for benzene and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
The world's first continuous analysis monitor specifically for benzene
Titan
Created to revolutionise the world of refinery instruments, Titan is the first selective monitor with a dynamic range of 0.1 ppm to 20 ppm dedicated to petrochemical and chemical plants. The Titan samples air once per minute and communicates with an RS485, USB or relay control output. Data is stored internally for up to 2 years and can be downloaded to a PC. It offers the possibility of being connected to an alarm system to warn of high concentrations.

Hawk
Thanks to photo-ionisation technology (PID), the Falco works even in extreme climatic conditions and condensation. It can continuously detect a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The bright LED display allows readings up to 20m away even in bright sunlight. A relay output allows connection to high or low hazard alarm systems. It is available in different models with pump or diffusion.

Continuous detection of volatile organic compounds with multiple ranges
TVOC2
This rugged fixed 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 typically present. With a 4-20 mA analogue output, the fixed VOC monitor can simply be integrated into a control system (DCS) to provide alerts and allow control of high VOC levels in your working environment! ATEX and IECEx certified, it can be used in areas classified 'Zone 2' and 'Zone 1' without safety barriers.
Portable leak detector
For fast and accurate detection of small leaks.
GasCheck G - leak detector
It detects small leaks of almost any type of gas or gas mixture. Equipped with a suction mechanism, it can detect gases such as helium, ammonia, argon, butane, hydrogen and SF6. It can be handled with one hand and has an autonomy of approximately 40 hours on AA batteries. Calibrated at the factory, simply switch it on and zero it in the air.
Portable detector for helium leaks in MRI equipment.
GasCheck TESLA helium detector
The GasCheck Tesla is an extremely sensitive detector designed to operate within strong magnetic fields. The thermal conductivity microsensor ensures fast and accurate helium detection. It is an excellent and much cheaper alternative to mass spectrometers necessarily to be installed outside medical equipment.
This fitting allows calibrated joints to be created for testing monitoring systems.
Calibrated leaks
IonScience manufactures calibrated leak fittings according to specific customer requirements for required flow, pressure and gas type. Each fitting is ISO 9001:2008 certified ensuring high quality and accuracy. They are constructed from stainless steel to ensure accurate operation over time and are easily installed for annual checks.
Mercury vapour detectors
For fast and accurate detection of Mercury Vapour Indicators (MVI).
MVI - mercury vapour detector
It is a revolutionary instrument capable of detecting mercury vapours in just 3 seconds. Its dual UV absorption technology and ability to detect high mercury concentrations without saturating make it unique on the market. It uses a high performance pump and has audible alarm systems. It requires no regeneration between readings, eliminating downtime. It allows continuous measurements and offers detection ranges from 0.1 to 200 μg/m³ and 1.0 to 1999 μg/m³. It is ideal for monitoring TWAs (time weighted averages).
SF6 leak detectors
Low cost SF6 leak detector
SF6 Leakmate - Low cost 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 leaks in electrical panels. The instrument is equipped with audio alarms that warn the user of leaks and a bar graph LED display that allows the user to understand the extent of the leak. It has a response time of about 1 second. A special "auto shift" function compensates for any pre-existing concentration levels in an environment due to previous leaks.
Designed for continuous monitoring of SF6.
SF6 Area Check P2 - fixed detector
Stationary SF6 monitoring instrument that quickly detects SF6 leaks with high sensitivity. It also has a relay output for alarm or safety systems. It is not affected by other gases in the air or humidity. The instrument can be operated from a PC or network interface. It does not use suction pumps, thus avoiding the problems of filter cleaning.
