New PID Sensor Range from Alphasense delivers wider choice and superior value proposition for industrial safety & air quality monitoring


Alphasense, the industry-leading manufacturer of sensors for air quality monitoring, gas detection and industrial applications, has increased its product portfolio with a new range of photoionisation detection (PID) sensors, offering customers a broader choice of detection ranges, short lead times and exceptional value.


Offering the highest quality and unparalleled performance in a variety of applications including the harshest of conditions, the new range of PID sensors is held in stock at Alphasense’s UK factory, ready to be shipped.


With a choice of five PID sensor models, each with a specific detection range, Alphasense’s customers can now match PID sensors to their specific applications. Models include 0-20ppm, 0-40ppm, 0-200ppm, 0-4,000ppm and 0-10,000ppm variants.


Alphasense PIDs measure Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to extremely low concentrations, with a detection range down to 1 ppb on the most sensitive model. The new range boasts rapid response times, superior baseline stability and is virtually unaffected by humidity/temperature changes. This next-generation range of PID products is covered by a 12-month warranty on lamps/ 24-month warranty on other components, features a user-replaceable electrode stack/particulate filter and is backed up by the first-class technical support Alphasense customers are accustomed to.


Erik Børgesen, DVP Business Manager of MOCON Europe and Alphasense said: “The market for PID sensors is growing globally and we are responding with new products and technology to meet this demand. Our new PID sensor range offers excellent performance at a price point we believe will help lead to further adoption in both the Environmental and Safety sectors.


“The global strive for cleaner air is driving innovation in sensor technology and we are proud to be at the forefront. Alphasense pioneered the production of low-cost sensors for the measurement of air quality and it’s in the DNA of the company - customers can be assured of working with us as a reliable and ethical market leader.”


Alphasense is a global leader in PID technology, with over 26 years of manufacturing and engineering experience.

Alphasense and AMETEK MOCON establish gas sensor centre of excellence


How Alphasense is helping to meet the challenges of air quality improvements


The demand for accurate air monitoring is increasing across the globe as the quest for air quality soars. Air quality sensors have been around for many years, but the increased requirement for air quality monitoring has led to major developments in research and development. There is, however, still a long way to go.


Alphasense, part of AMETEK Mocon, is investing in research and development to support its growth in air quality and gas safety sensors by establishing a Centre of Excellence.


The centre is located at its manufacturing facility in Essex, UK, and will focus on greater investment in innovative research and development projects.


With an established reputation as a manufacturer of market-leading gas sensors, coupled with a history of engineering experience, Alphasense will not only offer enhanced product developments within the air quality and safety industries, but will offer career developments for local people.


Erik Boergesen, DVP Business Manager of MOCON Europe and Alphasense said: “We are excited to establish this global centre of excellence for gas sensor technology and bring even more manufacturing opportunities to our Braintree facility.


“Alphasense is already an established global brand in its own right. By introducing the engineering experience and investment power of AMETEK MOCON, we can further support both existing and new customers in the air quality, gas safety, and industrial markets.”


The centre of excellence, along with the existing manufacturing facilities, houses state-of- the-art automation which supports Alphasense’s continued advances in manufacturing and technology. This means customers will benefit from consistently high-quality products supported by excellent customer service and support.


Alphasense’s range of sensor technologies includes electrochemical, catalytic, optical (NDIR and PID), semiconductor/metal oxide.


With over 25 years of experience in the air quality and gas safety industry, Alphasense benefits from access to some of the best technical and engineering experience available.


Alphasense is constantly developing and researching innovative technological advancements through its centre of excellence.

In September 2021, the World Health Organisation (WHO) reduced its yearly average particulate matter (PM) guideline values to 5 µg/m3


. This renewed legislation, as well as


the pressure on corporate social responsibility (CSR), is driving the transition of air quality monitoring from a ‘nice to have’ position to a firm commercial proposition. This is leading to


an increased demand for air quality measurement instruments globally.


Air quality sensors are used to identify and measure low-level background levels of pollution which can be hazardous to health over a long period of time. This is different to sensors used in safety applications where hazards need to be identified instantly. These sensors monitor gas levels in parts per million (PPM), whereas a typical air quality sensor will target parts per billion (PPB).


Taking the leap from PPM to PPB not only requires more accurate sensors but also demands more of the instrument, with factors such as temperature and humidity compensation and board ‘noise’ becoming increasingly important. The increased complexity of PPB monitoring requires advanced algorithms and, increasingly, AI and machine learning to deliver useful data from sensor readings.


Will Parrett, EMEA Sales and Marketing Director, said: “Low-cost air quality monitoring to support improved air quality for all is a priority for us. While the research and development behind air quality are still in stages of infancy compared to sectors such as gas safety, we, along with other companies, are making great strides in understanding why analysing atmospheric content is so important, and how we can develop products to support this.”


Alphasense is committed to developing air quality and particulate sensors for a cleaner planet. Its air quality sensors detect all the necessary pollutants at PPB level as well as particles down to PM1.
