Lion Mark II Formaldemeter

• Monitoring formaldehyde levels in laboratories and cleanrooms.
• Assessing air quality in industrial environments where formaldehyde may be present.
• Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations regarding formaldehyde exposure.
• Conducting environmental impact assessments in manufacturing and chemical processing.
• Verifying ventilation system effectiveness in healthcare and research facilities.

Measurement range

Typically 0-10 ppm or 0-100 ppm, depending on the model configuration.

Detection principle

Commonly electrochemical sensor technology.

Response time

Typically within 30-60 seconds for initial readings.

Power supply

Often battery-operated for portability, typically requiring standard AA or rechargeable packs.

Calibration

Requires periodic calibration using certified formaldehyde gas standards.

Operating temperature

Typically designed for ambient conditions, often 0°C to 40°C.

Data logging

Some units offer internal data logging capabilities for trend analysis.

Filter compatibility

Units of this type commonly utilise phenol filters to mitigate cross-sensitivity.

• What is the typical accuracy for a Formaldemeter of this type?

  Accuracy for this class of equipment is generally within ±10% of the reading or ±0.2 ppm, whichever is greater. Regular calibration is essential to maintain this accuracy.

• How often does a Formaldemeter require calibration?

• Can this unit detect other gases besides formaldehyde?

• Are replacement phenol filters readily available?

• Is this Formaldemeter suitable for continuous monitoring?

• What maintenance is typically required for a Formaldemeter?

Gas analyzers and detectors are regarded as essential precision instruments in pharmaceutical and biotech laboratories. Buyers typically prioritise calibration records and maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. These instruments are valued for their accuracy, repeatability, and reliability in critical analytical processes. Key considerations include ensuring proper documentation of service intervals, verifying sensor functionality, and confirming compatibility with existing laboratory systems. Well-maintained units often perform comparably to new equipment at considerably lower cost, making them attractive for budget-conscious facilities requiring validated analytical capability.
