The Ion Science MiniPID 2 is a simple plug-and-play sensor able to deliver dynamic and dependable response to thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in many diverse applications.

All MiniPID sensors include patented Fence Electrode Technology for industry leading humidity resistant performance and Anti-contamination design protecting the sensor from moisture, dust and aerosols.

The sensor is designed for both diffusive and in-line pumped sampling, delivering an exceptional response time and clear down.

MiniPID 2 incorporates our next-generation long-life lamp which provides exceptional brightness, stability and long- term performance enabling reliable detection for over 10,000 hours continuous use.

 

PPM MiniPID 2: range 0.1 – 6000 ppm

The PPM variant is used for wide range, part per million (ppm) measurements between 0.1 and 6000 ppm (isobutylene equivalent). This sensor is configured specifically for dynamic response to VOCs at elevated concentrations allowing for greater accuracy and repeatability.

 

PPB MiniPID 2: range 1 ppb – 40 ppm

The PPB variant is used for high sensitivity in the part per billion (ppb) range with minimum detection limit of 1 ppb. The PPB sensor is optimised to deliver an exceptionally low background current allowing for optimum low-end sensitivity.

 

10 eV MiniPID 2: range 5 ppb – 100 ppm

The 10 eV is new to our 3-pin product range and is used for enhanced selectivity of compounds with lower ionisation potentials. A common usage of the 10 eV sensor is for the determination of ambient levels of aromatic compounds.

 

11.7 eV MiniPID 2: range 0.1 to 100 ppm (isobutylene equivalent) 
Available from Ion Science is the 11.7 eV lamp which extends the range of detectable compounds to include chloro- carbons, CFCs, formaldehyde and chlorine amongst others.
