Lion - Lion Mark II Formaldemeter

Applications & Use Cases

• Monitoring formaldehyde levels in laboratories and cleanrooms.
• Assessing air quality in industrial settings where formaldehyde-containing resins or chemicals are used.
• Ensuring health and safety compliance in healthcare facilities and mortuaries.
• Evaluating indoor air quality in offices or residential buildings after renovation or furnishing.
• Research and development involving formaldehyde-releasing materials.

Typical Specifications

Measurement Principle

Typically electrochemical or photo-ionisation detection.

Detection Range

Commonly 0-10 ppm or 0-100 ppm, depending on the model variant.

Response Time

Typically within 30-60 seconds for stable readings.

Power Supply

Often battery-operated for portability, commonly using AA or rechargeable battery packs.

Calibration

Requires regular calibration, typically with certified formaldehyde gas standards.

Filter Type

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

Operating Temperature

Typically designed for use in ambient laboratory or industrial temperatures, e.g., 0-40°C.
