The Dräger PID Sensor (Photoionization Detector) is the industry standard for volatile organic compound (VOC) monitoring. Built for demanding environments, it combines fast response times, high sensitivity, and robust durability. Whether you need ppm-level detection in chemical plants or ppb-level sensitivity for trace monitoring, Dräger offers a tailored solution.

Key Benefits

• Wide Detection Range: From ultra-sensitive ppb monitoring (PID LC ppb) to high concentration ppm detection (PID HC).

• Rugged Reliability: Water-repellent membranes and durable construction protect the sensor in harsh industrial environments.

• Fast Response & Accuracy: Immediate detection ensures quick safety actions.

• Easy Calibration: Simple on-site calibration using isobutylene, with response factors for custom target gases.

• Selective Benzene Detection: With the Dräger X-am® 8000 and benzene pre-tube, you can isolate benzene from other hydrocarbons.

• Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with Dräger X-am 7000 and X-am 8000 devices for plug & play operation.
