MiniPID 2 – The Proven Standard in VOC Detection
Our MiniPID 2 range represents the industry benchmark in volatile organic compound (VOC) detection. Trusted globally, it combines humidity resistance, reliability, high sensitivity, and rapid response times to deliver precise real-time data in even the most challenging environments. 
Available in multiple configurations, including (high sensitivity), (parts per billion detection), and (wide range), the sensors are tailored to specific application needs. Each variant features a robust UV lamp for long operational life and consistent sensitivity, even to less volatile compounds.
Compact, low-power, and low-maintenance, MiniPID 2 is widely deployed in indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, environmental studies, industrial safety, and personal exposure assessment. Its proven stability makes it the go-to solution for OEMs, researchers, and system integrators who need trusted performance.
ION SENSE® PID – The Next Generation
Building on the success of MiniPID 2, the ION SENSE® PID sets a new standard for VOC monitoring. This next-generation sensor delivers:
- >15,000 hours lamp and filter lifetimes
- 6x humidity resistance
- 50% faster response time
- Robust EMI protection
- Intelligent diagnostics (patent pending)
Engineered to excel in high-humidity and demanding environments, the ION SENSE® PID ensures accuracy and reliability across diverse air quality applications while reducing total cost of ownership. For both indoor and outdoor monitoring systems, it represents the future of PID technology.
NextPM – Advanced Particulate Matter Sensors
The NextPM sensor is one of the most advanced particulate matter solutions available today, providing real-time, direct measurement of PM₁, PM₂.₅, and PM₁₀ in both µg/m³ and particles per litre.
Its patented technologies, including precision airflow control, integrated humidity regulation, anti-contamination design, and dual-angle optical detection, enable accurate, stable measurements, even in harsh conditions.
Ideal for indoor and outdoor applications such as smart cities, environmental monitoring, and research, NextPM empowers decision-makers with reliable data for cleaner, healthier air.
PID Integration Boards – Simplifying Sensor Deployment
Our ION CONNECT and ION TRANSMIT boards were designed to make VOC monitoring more accessible for both OEMs and researchers.
- For OEMs and integrators: the boards reduce development costs, speed up time to market, and provide industrial-grade reliability.
- For researchers and developers: they serve as rapid evaluation tools, offering live PID data “straight out of the box.”
Supporting standard protocols such as UART, MODBUS RTU, and 4–20 mA, along with user-configurable settings, these boards ensure seamless integration into a wide variety of monitoring systems. Applications span indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, HVAC systems, Li-ion battery safety, semiconductor manufacturing and laboratory testing.
Our Commitment
At ION SENSE®, we believe better sensing means better decisions. Through our portfolio of proven, next-generation, and enabling technologies, we empower industries, researchers, and communities to monitor air quality with confidence.
With sustainability at the core of our operations and innovation driving our future, we are proud to support the global mission of building safer, cleaner, and more sustainable environments for all.
