Dräger X-pid 8500

Product Overview

Fast, lab quality portable gas measurement

If you work in the chemical, pharmaceutical, oil & gas or any industry with potential exposure to Benzene, butadiene and other VOCs, you know that gas detection and measurement is critical. When you checking air content using grab samples it can take days to find out if your area is safe for your team and can cost hundreds of dollars per sample. The new selective PID gas measurement device from Dräger is a great solution that offers measurements in minutes with lab quality results.

The Dräger X-pid 8500 is user-friendly and does not require the use of any consumables such as tubes or scrubbers. The device utilizes gas chromatography technology and can perform Benzene measurement in only 30 seconds, giving you a significant time savings of up to 90%. Additionally, there are minimal environmental influences from temperature and humidity.
