Cub - PID
Cub is the world’s smallest, lightest personal PID monitor for the accurate detection of volatile organic and total aromatic compounds. With market leading parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity, Cub gives an early warning of hazardous gases, including benzene, before they reach levels which are harmful.
List of Benefits
- Best available photoionisation (PID) detection
- Safety
- Ease of use
- Low cost operation
Cub is the world’s smallest, lightest personal PID monitor for the accurate detection of volatile organic and total aromatic compounds. With market leading parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity, Cub gives an early warning of hazardous gases, including benzene, before they reach levels which are harmful. Cub is available in three distinct variants; ppm, ppb and TAC mode. Choose a ppb or ppm instrument with 10.6 eV lamp for accurately detecting a wide range of VOCs dependent on your sensitivity requirements. CubTAC with 10.0 eV lamp gives accurate detection of total aromatic compounds (TACs) down to ppb levels. Small, compact and lightweight Cub is robust yet comfortable and unobtrusive to wear. Cub has a dynamic range of 1 ppb to 5000 ppm, the widest on the market measuring 480 selectable compounds. When worker exposure exceeds pre-set limits the instrument’s audible, vibrating and flashing LED alarms alert you to the gases present. Readings are displayed in ppb and ppm on its bright, back-lit LCD display with selectable data logging time. Upgradeable ppb sensitivity can be purchased quickly and easily. CubDoc docking stations are available for USB communication, charging and calibrating your instrument, dependent on your requirements. The instrument’s PID sensor technology has been independently verified as best performing for speed, accuracy and humidity resistant operation. Its unique Anti-contamination and patented Fence Electrode Technology provide extended run time in the most challenging environments, giving you accurate results you can truly rely on.
