Integrated gas detector makes laboratory analysis portable
The X-pid (photo) is an intrinsically safe gas detector that can detect benzene, butadiene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a matter of seconds and weighs less than 3 lb. Designed for users who frequently test for hazardous toxic substances, the X-pid product line integrates gas detection capabilities via photoionization detector (PID) and gas chromatography (GC) technologies, combining robust analysis with portability. The integrated PID provides measurement in the low parts-per-billion (ppb) concentration range. The PID/GC gas detector also comes with an explosion-proof handheld control unit and mobile app that enable intuitive handling and control. The device’s sensor unit compiles measurement values and sends them via Bluetooth to the control unit. Booth 6327 — Dräger, Inc., Houston
