Description

NEO Photo-ionization Detectors

Advanced Handheld VOC Monitoring

The NEO Series by mPower Electronics represents one of the most advanced families of handheld VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) detectors, offering ultra-sensitive ppb-level detection and high-range models up to 15,000 ppm. Designed for industrial professionals, first responders, and environmental teams, the NEO uses innovative photo-ionization detection (PID) technology paired with a high-performance UV lamp to ensure outstanding sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability.

VOCs include chemicals like benzene, alcohols, fuels, paint thinners, and solvents, all of which may pose significant health risks. Accurate VOC monitoring is essential across industries such as oil & gas, fire & hazmat response, pharmaceutical manufacturing, paints & adhesives, and more. Whether detecting trace-level VOCs or monitoring hazardous leak events, the NEO PID VOC Detector provides unmatched performance, reliability, and flexibility in the field.
