The Pioneers of PID™

Established in 1967, Scientific Services pioneered the development of lamps for photoionization detection (PID). The company has gained international recognition for developing the first stable, long-lived glow discharge lamp functioning in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV). This lamp proved to be a more sensitive alternative to flame ionization, as the energy source for ionizing the effluent from a gas chromatograph (GC).

The PID lamp was originally developed for use by NASA in calibrating space experiment. Glow discharge lamps were available in the VUV but they were unstable and highly unreliable. Scientific Services developed a proprietary technique which resulted in the first stable, dependable, and long-lived glow discharge lamp for the VUV. Subsequent experiments showed that these VUV sources were ideal as the energy source for photoionization.

We manufacture the world’s most efficient Photoionization Detection (PID) lamp products. Our quality is backed by the most comprehensive warranty offered by any lamp manufacturer and we stand ready to help you or your customers. We have a complete selection of superior quality lamps from which to choose including our most popular 108-10.0/10.6 model. Not long ago, we introduced the BTEX lamp, a high output lamp with the stability of our original 108-10.0/10.6 lamps. We invite you to review our entire Photoionization lamp suite…from the Pioneers of PID…

Andrews Glass Co. has acquired the Scientific Services product line and proprietary fabrication processes in order to continue providing the first, the best, and the broadest range of PID lamps.

PID Lamp Models

Add	Qty	Cat. #	Description	Cost
		510103 1000	HNU Style 10.0/10.6eV PID Lamp	$350
		(SSI Model 103C)	The original PID lamp used in HNU style instruments is fabricated with a VUV grade magnesium fluoride window and is filled with 99.997% pure Krypton gas
		510103 1061	HNU Style 10.0/10.6eV High Output PID Lamp	$425
		(SSI Model 103 -BTEX)	33% more output than the Model 103C gives this lamp greater sensitivity to the presence of VOCs. Tests after three months of operation at 1 ma and 250°C show the BTEX lamp to maintain an output as high as the average new and unused 103C lamp
		510108 1000	Standard 10.0/10.6eV PID Lamp	$350
		(SSI Model 108-10.0/10.6)	The most popular of our line of PID lamps. This lamp is fabricated with a VUV grade magnesium fluoride window and is filled with 99.997% pure Krypton gas. It is similar to the Model 103C but utilizes a smaller, more efficient envelope.
		510108 1061	Standard 10.0/10.6eV High Output PID Lamp	$425
		(SSI Model 108-10.0/10.6 BTEX)	33% more output than the Model 108-10.0/10.6eV. The BTEX lamp has the same excellent stability that has characterized SSI PID lamps over the years.
