Tiger Select : Benzene & Total Aromatic Compound Monitor

Product Information

The Tiger Select is revolutionary hand-held gas detector by IonScience.

The Tiger has a two mode operation for the rapid detection benzene and Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs) which provides you with accurate and reliable data you can count on.

Utilising the high output Ion Science 10.0eV detection system, a reading for Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs) is seen immediately on start-up. Should aromatics be detected, a benzene pre-filter tube can be easily attached to ensure rapid detection and selective measurement of benzene. 

The Tiger Select displays real time data, ensuring the final reading represents the full value of actual benzene present and are displayed down to ppb levels.

Tiger Select is capable of providing 15 minute STELs and 8 hour TWAs for TACs. A 10.6 eV lamp can easily be installed for the detection of a wide range of TVOCs. 

In addition, the unique MiniPID VOC sensor incorporates both Anti-contamination technology and Fence Electrode technology for extended operation in difficult working environments.

Tiger Select can also be used in standard Tiger operational mode without the use of a benzene pre-filter tube to deliver active indications of VOCs, including benzene at concentrations as low as 1 ppb benzene equivalent. 

Applications for Tiger Select include; TAC detection at 
loading docks and barge operations, confined space entry 
pre-screening during refinery and plant maintenance, refinery 
down-stream monitoring, hazardous material and marine spill 
response.
