The Draeger X-pid® 8500 is a selective PID gas measurement device that is idealfor users who frequently test for hazardous toxic substances. Benzene, butadiene and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are cacinogenic even in the smallest concentrations. Selective measurement is necessary because other gases and vapors are often also present. The Draeger X-pid® 8500 allows for short test times and laboratory-quality results.
The Draeger X-pid® 8500 has pre-defined target compunds that can be accurately measured in seconds. The Draeger X-pid® is a streamlined version of gas chromatography analyses conducted in the laboratory. But it builds on that as the user now can easily take the analysis to the field where intrinsic safety certifications may be required.
The wireless (bluetooth) handheld Class 1 Div 1 Control Unit with built in mobil app makes using the sensor unit lightweight and very easy to use. The Draeger X-pid® 8500 is optimized for measuring in this concentration range and detects benzene concentrations as low as 50ppb.

Cost savings -
Because no consumables are used to take measurements, operating costs can be reduced. For users with high measurement needs, the Dräger X-pid 8500 quickly pays for itself. For example, it requires no pre-tubes, also making it easier to use and helps prevent user errors. On the basis of about 200 measurements per year, the Dräger X-pid 8500 is generally more cost-effective than comparable yet more cumbersome measurement systems.
Time savings of up to 90% -
The Dräger X-pid 8500 requires no preparation and is ready to use after a brief start-up phase. Selective measurement takes only a few seconds. A benzene measurement starts with the push of a button and is completed in only 30 seconds. After another 60 seconds, the device is ready to measure for benzene again. Compared with other detection systems, the Dräger X-pid 8500 saves considerable time and enables further monitoring to be undertaken. Simultaneous measurement of other compounds further reduces testing times.
Reliable performance under tough conditions -
The influence on measurement results by environmental factors like variable ambient temperature or high humidity are reduced to a minimum. The sensor unit maintains a constant temperature above the ambient air temperature and separates water vapor from the target compounds. This ensures reliable measurements under tough environmental conditions.
Simple functional test and easy calibration -
The functional test with isobutylene and toluene test gases is done in just two minutes and the Dräger X-pid 8500 is ready to use. During the functional test the user is guided through the user interface step-bystep. Only if the functional test fails, a calibration with the same test gas standard will be required, which will be completed in about four minutes.
