VOC-A4 Volatile Organic Compound Sensor
VOC Gas Sensor, Electrochemical, A-Series, ppb-level VOC monitoring
PPB-level VOC detection for portable and indoor air quality instruments.
The VOC-A4 sensor is a ppb-level volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor designed for industrial safety and environmental air quality applications where low-level VOC trends matter. Its 4-electrode A-Series design delivers best-in-class baseline stability and high sensitivity at ppb concentrations, making it ideal for portable and handheld instruments.
Available as standard VOC-A4 or as VOC-A4+ with Integrated Smart Technology (IST), the sensor can store calibration and identification data on-board and includes an integrated temperature sensor, enabling plug-and-play integration and simplified temperature compensation.
