This guiding principle is as important today as when we first started up in 1989.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where it all began<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our first standard products were Saga flow meters and\u00a0GasCheck\u00a0leak and refrigerant gas detectors.\u00a0 The flow meter was very popular, but our main focus at that time was bespoke industrial leak testing equipment.\u00a0 In the mid 1990s, we began to dedicate more time to standard products. \u00a0The one that emerged directly from our research was a hydrogen permeation device, patented in 1996.\u00a0 Another, the world\u2019s first truly field worthy and accurate photoionisation detection (PID) instrument, derived from our leak detection business and was patented in 1998.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The millennium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By the turn of the millennium, we knew that to ensure on-going product excellence for our customers we should focus on standard ranges and our high-performance PID technology was perfectly suited for this.<\/p>\n<p>In 2000, we launched two new products. The \u2018PhoCheck 5000EX\u2019 was our first PID instrument, designed to detect volatile organic compounds down to ppb levels and\u00a0Hydrosteel, which continues to be the world\u2019s premium hydrogen flux monitor used primarily in control of corrosion in petrochemical streams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PID sensor technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Responding to our growing experience of worldwide PID application, we took out a worldwide patent on our advanced PID Fence Electrode Technology in 2002, which enabled effective VOC measurement in contaminated, hot and humid atmospheres.\u00a0 We also launched\u00a0TVOC, a fixed PID wall monitor.<\/p>\n<p>The serviceability and robustness of the PID using the Fence Electrode was enhanced by the in-house manufacture of a miniaturised PID (MiniPID), as incorporated in the\u00a0Tiger VOC detector\u00a0series and our other PID instruments.\u00a0 The sensor itself was also sold independently and is now a major product line for the company, being used within a vast number of PID detectors across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Today we lead the way with our humidity resistant PID technology, proven to be the best performing against competing instruments when operating in humid and contaminated environments providing the most stable, repeatable readings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industry focus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2007, the company acquired\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ionscience.com\/in\/products\/mvi-portable-mercury-vapour-indicator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MVI, a mercury vapour detector<\/a>.\u00a0 This technology is ideally suited to chemical and petrochemical applications, which are also the most significant market sectors for many of our other products.\u00a0 As a result, we have made these areas of particular focus for innovation by designing PID instruments for the petrochemical industry, such as the\u00a0Tiger Select\u00a0handheld screening device, and\u00a0CubTAC\u00a0personal PID monitor for the detection of total aromatic compounds (TACs), including benzene.<\/p>\n<p>The environmental industry also remains fundamental to our focus and success for our product range, as does the emerging market for IAQ monitoring with the recent release of the\u00a0Corvus\u00a0continuous and wireless, low level VOC monitor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, Ion Science is a global leader in PID science and the world\u2019s largest manufacturer of this advanced sensor technology.\u00a0 This is proven by the global success of our revolutionary handheld Tiger VOC detector, and latest Cub personal PID monitor for the rapid, accurate detection of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future, our aim is to maintain and capitalise on our global technological lead, continuing to deliver robust and reliable gas sensing technology within the industries we serve to end users across the world.<\/p>\n<div
