Ion Science ‘Cub’ Personal PID Gas Detector for VOCs, TACs & Benzene

Ion Cub is a PID gas detector that detects down to parts-per-billion levels for fast, accurate detection of volatile organic and total aromatic compounds.

With unrivalled sensitivity, Ion Cub personal photoionisation detection (PID) gas detector detects down to parts-per-billion (ppb) levels. This standard of personal gas detection gives early warning of exposure to hazardous gases, including benzene.

Ion Cub is an extremely small and light personal PID gas detector, making it comfortable and unobtrusive to wear.

Ion Cub personal PID gas detector has a dynamic range of 1 ppb to 5000 ppm, one of the widest (if not THE widest) on the market, and measures 480 selectable compounds.


      Ion Science’s Cub personal PID gas detector is available in two models…

      • VOCs: Standard instrument with 10.6 eV lamp, which accurately detects a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to parts-per-million (ppm) levels. A quick and easy upgrade to parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity is available.
      • TACs & Benzene: CubTAC ppm variant with 10.0 eV lamp, which accurately detects total aromatic compounds (TACs), including benzene. A quick and easy upgrade to parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity is available.

      When worker exposure exceeds pre-set limits, vibrating and flashing LED alarms alert them to the gases present. Readings are displayed on a bright, back-lit LCD display with selectable data logging time.

      Cub’s PID sensor technology has been independently verified as best performing for speed, accuracy and humidity resistant operation. Cub’s unique anti-contamination and patented Fence Electrode Technology provide extended run time in the most challenging environments, providing reliable and accurate results.

      CubDoc docking stations are also available for USB communication, charging and calibrating your PID gas detector.
