Falco Diffused
Fixed VOC Gas Detector
Ensuring that every aspect of the working environment is safe for staff to operate in is critical for industries that work with potentially harmful materials. It’s important that any kind of detection device can be relied upon even in the most challenging of weather, exposure, and temperatures, without losing accuracy. ION Science has developed the Falco fixed gas detector to meet these challenges – and exceed them.
