Whether at home, at the office or workplace, in public institutions, schools and kindergartens – wherever people stay indoors for any length of time, clean, uncontaminated air is a health-preserving necessity.

Unfortunately, one cannot judge the atmospheric pollution at a glance, but at least measure it: using the HCHO/TVOC measuring device BQ16 from Trotec.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) are certainly the most common and the most dangerous substance groups with regard to indoor air exposure.

For this reason both concentrations can be measured simultaneously in real time using the BQ16 to ensure that the room air pollution is harmless. The BQ16 detects even minor concentrations of as low as 0.01 ppm or 0.01 mg/m³.

German legislature mostly defines limit values in either mg/m³ or ppm (parts per million). As a result, the BQ16 was designed to optionally also indicate all measured values in either mg/m³ or ppm at the push of a button.

Using the BQ16 is agreeably easy: Upon switch-on the measuring device automatically determines the prevailing HCHO and TVOC concentrations. Both measured values are simultaneously indicated on the easily legible display of the BQ16 with on-demand background illumination.

Thanks to the integrated MIN, MAX and HOLD functions you can view the minimum or maximum value at any time during the measurement and even hold the currently measured value if needed. For battery-saving operation this practical measuring device is further equipped with an automatic switch-off function.
