Alphasense Unveils the New PIDX Series: A Game-Changer in VOC Measurement

Alphasense, a global leader in gas sensor technology, proudly introduces the PIDX series of Photoionisation Detectors (PIDs). This cutting-edge line of sensors represents a leap forward in air quality monitoring, designed to deliver exceptional accuracy, reliability, and performance in detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The PIDX series is set to elevate industry standards and provide essential solutions for applications where air quality and safety are critical.

Meet The Advanced PIDX Sensors

Alphasense PIDX sensors are advanced, next-generation Photoionisation Detectors available in six different ranges—0-40 ppm, 0-20 ppm, 0-200 ppm, 0-4000 ppm, 0-4 ppm, and 0-10,000 ppm—designed to cater to a wide variety of applications and ensure precise air quality monitoring across diverse environments. The relevance of these different ranges to applications and air quality monitoring lies in their ability to accurately detect and measure Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) at various concentrations, depending on the specific needs of the application.

The PIDX sensors, designed as direct replacements for existing PID models, offer enhanced sensor-to-sensor repeatability, consistent temperature response, and stable baselines across a wide range of humidity levels. Capable of detecting VOCs at parts per billion (ppb) levels, the PIDX sensors provide precise measurements essential for maintaining stringent air quality standards. The "lamp not lit" fault detection system adds an essential layer of safety, ensuring continuous, accurate monitoring in critical environments.

Benefits of the PIDX Series

The PIDX series by Alphasense is set to revolutionise the air quality monitoring market with its advanced technology and versatile application range. Here’s how each category of PIDX sensors contributes to this impact:

Exceptional Accuracy:

The PIDX 0-4 ppm and 0-10,000 ppm sensors are designed to detect VOCs at extremely low and high concentrations, respectively, down to parts per billion (ppb) levels. This exceptional accuracy ensures that even minimal traces of harmful compounds are identified, which is crucial for maintaining stringent air quality standards in both sensitive environments like laboratories (0-4 ppm) and areas with high VOC emissions (0-10,000 ppm).

The mid-range sensors, PIDX 0-20 ppm and 0-40 ppm, also offer high precision for detecting moderate VOC levels, making them ideal for general industrial settings where maintaining air quality is vital.

Reliable Performance Across Environmental Conditions:

The PIDX sensors are engineered to operate effectively across a wide range of environmental conditions. For instance, the 0-4000 ppm sensors maintain stable performance even with fluctuations in temperature and humidity, ensuring consistent and dependable readings in diverse environments, from chemical plants to outdoor air quality monitoring stations.

Effective Solutions for Long-Term Monitoring:

Across all ranges, from the low-level detection offered by the 0-4 ppm sensor to the broad detection capabilities of the 0-10,000 ppm sensor, the PIDX series combines advanced features with cost-efficiency. Its durable components and low maintenance requirements make the PIDX sensors an ideal choice for long-term air quality monitoring. Whether for ongoing industrial safety or compliance with environmental regulations, the PIDX sensors provide a valuable and sustainable solution.

By offering precise, reliable, and cost-effective air quality monitoring, the PIDX line of PID sensors stands out as an essential tool for industries and municipalities committed to ensuring safe and compliant environments.
