As one of the most widely used gas detection techniques, the Photoionization Detector (PID), is commonly applied in both portable and fixed instruments for detection of a wide variety of organic compounds and some inorganic gases in ambient air.

MOCON®'s patented, award-winning piD-TECH® eVx™ plug-in photoionization sensor line has been MOCON®'s core PID sensor for many year. The eVx™ is a tested and trusted solution for OEM manufacturers looking to include VOC detection capabilities in their handheld, mobile, or fixed devices.
