WatchGas NEO — portable VOC meter (PID) with ppb sensitivity
The WatchGas NEO is one of the most advanced handheld volatile-organic-compound (VOC) meters, with a photoionisation (PID) sensor and a built-in pump. It measures from 1 ppb to 15,000 ppm (the NEO BENZ benzene version: 0.05–200 ppm), has a T90 response time of 3 s, a library of over 700 correction factors, a Man-Down alarm and wireless notification. Certified for zone 0 (ATEX).
