In an industrial setting, one of many reasons for the presence of VOC in the air can be leakages in the process. For example, the leakage of coolant, like the widely-used hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), can have very harmful effects. HFC are potent greenhouse gases and dangerous for the environment. To ensure the safety at industrial workplaces, you can use air quality measuring systems. Alternatively, you can convey gas samples to sensor units to monitor VOC concentration. This form of VOC detection can also be applied in production lines for process control or for exhaust gases in the automotive industry. Â

In order to build a VOC detection system, you can easily combine our active microfluidic components. The mp6 micropump actively conveys air samples to a VOC sensor. In the next step, the sensor measures the amount of VOC in the sample. This reading can easily be monitored in our software. Since the mp6 actively moves air to the sensor, this allows for a more exact reading compared to passive systems.
