Cub personal VOC monitor improves health and safety regimes

The Ion Science Cub is the smallest, lightest, most sensitive personal PID monitor for the fast, accurate detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) keeping you safe within your working environment. With market leading parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity, Cub sets the standard in personal gas monitoring giving an early warning of harmful levels of exposure to hazardous compounds.

Aimed at the general health and safety market where workers may be exposed to a variety of different and possibly unknown hazardous and toxic compounds, the Cub VOC monitor is housed in a small, worker friendly unit.

Cub continuously monitors the breathing space of the individual employee to measure the levels of potentially harmful compounds that the individual is exposed to, as he or she moves around the plant over the course of the day.  

With its high output 10.6eV lamp, it provides continuous monitoring and alarms for volatile organic compounds down to ppb levels. Providing accurate monitoring of the full range of VOCs, Cub affords the best possible protection for plant personnel. A version with a 10.0 eV lamp is also available (Cub^TAC) for monitoring Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs), including benzene.

Small, compact and lightweight Cub measures just 61 x 66 x 33 mm and weighs 111g, the smallest, lightest monitor of its kind on the market. Cub is comfortable and unobtrusive to wear, yet is sensitive to over 480 gaseous compounds, with a range of 1 ppb - 5,000 ppm.

Cub provides readings in ppm and mg/m3 on its bright, backlit LCD display, with selectable data logging time. When exposure exceeds pre-set limits - such as the 1 ppm eight hour time weighted average (TWA) for vinyl chloride - Cub provides a number of alarm options, including flashing red LEDs, an audio alarm, vibration, or a combination of the three.

Cub incorporates the same photoionisation detection (PID) technology employed on the leading Ion Science fixed and hand-held VOC detectors. The unique IonPID^TM sensor incorporates both Anti-contamination and Fence Electrode technology for extended operation in challenging, humid and dusty environments.

Ion Science detectors have been independently verified as the best performing PID technology available today, offering the fastest, most accurate and most consistent results, with the widest range and market leading sensitivities down to ppb levels.
