ION Science Tiger XT Select
Pioneering Gas Sensing Technology.
Rapid Detection for Benzene & Total Aromatic Compounds
The Tiger XT Select (XTS) portable benzene gas detector rapidly detects Benzene & Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs), providing the most accurate and reliable data available.
Ultimate Performance
Utilizing the high output ION Science 10.0 eV lamp, the Tiger XT Select (XTS) portable benzene gas detector is capable of detecting Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs) including Benzene, Toluene, and Acetone. The instrument is supplied with a pack of benzene pre-filter tubes to detect benzene selectively. The tube can be easily attached to ensure rapid detection and selective measurement of benzene. Throughout the measurement process, the Tiger XT Select benzene gas detector continuously displays real-time data. The Tiger XT Select can also provide 15-minute Short Term Exposure Limits (STELs) and 8-hour Time Weighted Averages (TWAs) for Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs).
The Tiger XT Select handheld benzene gas detector can be used in standard operational mode without the use of a benzene pre-filter tube to deliver active indications of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Key Features
