Drager X-pid 9500 Portable Gas Detector

The Drager X-pid 9500 is a selective PID (photoionization detector) gas measurement device designed for users who frequently test for hazardous toxic substances such as benzene, butadiene, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This innovative device offers laboratory-quality results in a short time, even in the presence of other gases. In this article, we will discuss the key features, applications, and benefits of the Drager X-pid 9500.

Key Features

Innovative Technology

The Dräger X-pid 9500 utilizes gas chromatography with photoionization detection, allowing for selective measurement of target compounds. This technology enables the device to provide accurate and reliable results, even in complex gas mixtures.

Fast and Efficient Measurements

The Drager X-pid 9500 requires no preparation and is ready to use after a brief start-up phase. Selective measurement in “Analysis” mode takes only a few seconds, and a benzene measurement can be completed in just 30 seconds. The device is ready to measure for benzene again after another 60 seconds, saving considerable time compared to other detection systems.

Reduced Operating Costs

Operating costs can be reduced since the Drager X-pid 9500 does not use consumables for measurements. The device requires no pre-tubes, making it easier to use and preventing user errors. For users with high measurement needs, the X-pid 9500 quickly pays for itself, generally being more cost-effective than comparable measurement systems.
