Ion Science

Ion Science is a leading UK manufacturer of technologically advanced gas detection equipment, distributed worldwide. The portfolio of instruments provides customers with unrivalled detection and monitoring capabilities within the harshest of environments, and a range of gas-detection instruments widely used within the petrochemical industry.

The company produces and delivers world-class instrumentation that customers can depend on to keep workers safe within their environment. The range comprises technologically advanced photoionisation detection (PID) instruments for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene monitors, leak detectors, mercury analysers and corrosion-monitoring equipment.

In addition to instrumentation, Ion Science manufactures the IonPID™ (formerly known as MiniPID) sensor found in leading gas detection instruments within the field globally. This unique patented PID technology has received independent verification as the best performing on the market and incorporates Ion Science’s patented fence electrode technology with anti-contamination design and optimal resistance to humidity in difficult working conditions.

Gas detection equipment

Ion Science gas detection equipment includes the following:

Cub is the smallest, lightest personal PID monitor available for fast, accurate detection of volatile and total aromatic compounds, keeping you safe within your working environment.

Tiger Select is a revolutionary handheld screening device with two-mode operation for the rapid detection of benzene and total aromatic compounds (TACs).

Tiger is a revolutionary handheld detector, providing rapid, accurate detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with high-resistance to humidity and contamination.

TVOC is a fixed PID detector for fast, accurate detection of VOCs with multiple detection range from just one instrument.

MVI accurately detects mercury vapours in as little as three seconds. MVI does not need saturate or regenerating, which eliminates instrument downtime.

MiniPID is found in all of our PID instruments and has been adopted by leading gas detection manufacturers worldwide, making it the most widely used PID sensor.

• PID / VOC detectors
• Benzene monitors
• Gas leak detectors
• Ground gas monitors
• Hydrogen flux monitors
• Mercury analysers

Ion Science instruments are designed for use across a wide number of industries and applications, wherever you have a need to detect gases and vapours, including:

PID technology

IonPID, the miniature PID sensor from Ion Science is revolutionising the gas-detection market. The sensor is found in all of the company’s PID instruments and has been adopted by leading gas-detection manufacturers worldwide, making it the most widely used PID sensor.

Ion Science PID sensor technology has received independent verification as the best performing on the market, proven to outperform all others with regards to speed, accuracy and giving the best performance within humid environments.

Humidity-and-contamination-resistant gas sensors

IonPID incorporates unique patented fence electrode technology with three-electrode format and anti-contamination design, enabling maximum resistance to humidity and contamination. The sensor is highly sensitive, with rapid response and clear down, giving outstanding performance in the field.

Easy to service gas sensors

The IonPID sensor is fully serviceable with its electrode stack / pellet and lamp easily replaced in seconds even while out in the field, minimising instrument downtime.
