Mobile Air Quality Monitoring

Track air pollution where and when it matters with PTR-TOF

contributed by IONICON | 02/12/2025

IONICON real-time VOC monitors are frequently operated in mobile measurement labs, contributing to local air quality networks and public safety.

PTR-MS is the benchmark method for fast, quantitative and ultra-sensitive monitoring of volatile organic compounds. IONICON’s robust PTR-MS technology easily withstands the harsh conditions of vibrations and shocks aboard mobile platforms. Therefore, IONICON instruments are frequently operated aboard aircraft, measurement vans and ships for environmental monitoring applications. With the introduction of IONICON’s compact and modular PTR-TOF QB series, PTR-MS can now be operated on even smaller mobile platforms like passenger cars. With sensitivities at ppbV level and limits of detection of single-digit pptV levels and below, the PTR-TOF QB monitors VOCs at highest spatio-temporal resolutions and best precision.
