Sirius Multigas Detector
The Sirius® Multigas Detector provides multifunctional capabilities by integrating a PID (photoionization detector) sensor into a four-gas detector. Users are able to simultaneously monitor for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with low vapor pressures while measuring for combustible, toxic and oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
