MP 18X is one of the most advanced handheld VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) monitors series available for ppb (parts per billion) detection. VOCs include a variety of chemicals such as benzene, alcohols, fuels, paint thinners, industrial solvents and many others, which can have short and long-term adverse health effects. Measuring these compounds is essential for worker protection in industries like oil & gas, fire & hazmat, pharmaceuticals, paints & adhesives, and many others. In addition, VOC monitoring is useful chemical process control, detecting leaks and other releases to the environment, and in measuring indoor air quality.  MP 18X series offers several models from the most sensitive 1 ppb to a high range up to 15,000 ppm for different applications. Novel designs of the Photo-ionization Detector (PID) and Ultraviolet (UV) lamp reduce interferences due to humidity. Options include real-time data monitoring with a built-in wireless modem using mPower Suite application software.
