Humidity-Resistant PID for Fast, Accurate VOC Detection

PhoCheck+ is an advanced, humidity-resistant photoionisation detector (PID) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), providing rapid response and accurate detection. Its unique patented Fence Electrode Technology uses a three-electrode format for proven resistance to humidity and contamination.

Capable of detecting VOCs from 1 ppb up to 10,000 ppm, the flagship 5000Ex identifies gases at very low ppb toxic thresholds. Response factor data is available for over 450 gases, making PhoCheck+ suitable for soil contamination, indoor air quality, environmental clean-up, petrochemical, confined space entry and HazMat applications.

Available in upgradeable versions from the low-cost PhoCheck 1000 to the sophisticated 5000Ex, the range can even be upgraded to the FirstCheck+ multi-gas PID. This product has been replaced by the PhoCheck Tiger.
