VOC-B4 Volatile Organic Compound Sensor
VOC Gas Sensor, Electrochemical, B-Series, ppb-level VOC monitoring
PPB-level VOC sensor optimised for fixed and outdoor air quality networks.
The VOC-B4 sensor is a ppb-level VOC sensor designed primarily for environmental air quality monitoring and fixed installations. The larger B-Series format provides additional electrolyte volume and robust mechanical design, supporting long-term stability in outdoor and high-humidity environments.
The VOC-B4 is available in a standard analogue version and as VOC-B4+ with Integrated Smart Technology (IST). The IST variant integrates a memory chip and temperature sensor, storing calibration and specification data for plug-and-play replacement and simplified temperature compensation.
