What Sets Our MiniPID Technology Apart?

ION Science’s range of MiniPID sensors are globally widely recognised as the best available PID sensors on the market. Thanks to their industry-leading sensitivity, reliability, and accuracy in VOC detection. By utilising this premium technology it’s possible to better monitor emissions that negatively impact health and the environment.

Our PID sensing technology is ideal for air quality and emissions monitoring purposes, thanks to the advanced developments made by our Research * Development team here at ION Science. The patented Fence Electrode Technology found in all ION Science MiniPID sensors aids in eliminating false positives. The Fence Electrode guards the sense electrode against short circuits combined with advanced electrode geometry and moisture filtering minimises false negatives.

ION Science MiniPID Sensor variants most suitable for air quality monitoring:

 

• MiniPID 2 HS Sensor is the most sensitive VOC sensor on the market designed for high sensitivity applications, allowing sub ppb measurement.
• MiniPID 2 10.0 eV Sensor is a good choice for spaces that require selective measurement of highly toxic VOCs such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene.
• MiniPID 2 PPB XF Sensor evolving from our trusted MiniPID 2 PPB Sensor the PPB XF variant boasts our patented Dutch Weave Technology for even longer humidity resistance to ensure reliable, uninterrupted continuous monitoring in even the harshest of environments.

At the heart of the PID is the ionising source, the lamp. Which contributes to the lifetime, sensitivity, and photon energy of the sensor. As the lamp is such a critical component, ION Science manufactures this essential part in-house. For over 35 years, ION Science has invested significantly in cutting-edge technology to continuously improve processes, and now manufactures the highest quality lamps on the market.

NextPM Technologies

Particulate matter pollution affects 91% of the global population living in areas surpassing WHO air quality limits. ION Science, dedicated to improving air quality with innovative gas sensing technology, also offers the NextPM sensor within its sensor portfolio.

In AQ-SPEC tests at South Coast AQMD, USA, the NextPM sensor showed strong correlations for PM1.0 and PM2.5 compared to reference-grade equipment, notable for its cost-effectiveness.

The NextPM sensor boasts patented airflow and humidity controls, ensuring long-lasting, accurate measurements, even in harsh conditions. With increased health concerns and stricter regulations, like WHO’s revised PM2.5 guideline, robust monitoring systems like NextPM are essential.

Utilising PID and PM sensors as separate entities addresses specific pollutants and challenges related to air quality. When these two methods are used in conjunction with one another, organisations are equipped with a comprehensive approach to understanding and improving the air we breathe.

PID and PM sensors detect various pollutants, vital for monitoring air quality due to their impact on health, the environment, economy, and overall well-being. PID sensors can detect low concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), while PM sensors assess the volume and size of airborne dust particles. Together, they efficiently monitor indoor, outdoor, and industrial air quality. As global focus intensifies on safety and environmental conservation, demand for VOC monitoring grows. Many of ION Science’s customers develop portable or fixed integrated monitoring tools, making PID a trusted technology for VOC detection across many diverse applications, particularly Air Quality.

Setting A New Standard in PID Technology in 2025

As we look towards the future, 2025 is poised to be a landmark year in the history of PID technology. Our commitment to innovation will drive us to new heights, the advancements we introduce in our next generation sensor is just the beginning of a new era, one where we continue to lead the way in PID technology, setting the standards in performance and reliability.
