– Announcements From AU –
The Truculence instrument platform is a revolutionary new approach to instrumentation. It is being prepared for release to select beta testers. We know that Truculence is very different than past approaches and we are convinced that this new platform concept will change the way instrumentation is developed and produced in the future.
2026 May
AU announces the pending release of the Rainbow 2 PID sensor for use in especially challenging environments. The Rainbow 2 incorporates detection cell technology which tolerates high levels of particulates and chemical contaminates.
2026 April
The Arclight PID sensor, with Heatwave onboard, is the first in the world to incorporate an ultra long life ceramic VUV lamp. Arc Light brings longer life and higher stability to the world of PID sensors.
2025 November
AU Colorado has been granted a patent for its revolutionary Heatwave technology. ..and it is now available in our:
* Rainbow *
* Heatwave *
* Arclight * and
* Rainbow 2 *
families of PID Sensors
2025 May
AU announced the world’s first ceramic body miniature (6mm dia.,) Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) lamp. This lamp is expected to change the basic perception of PID sensors. Future sensors will now be able to achieve much longer life and exhibit stability never seen in a PID sensor.
2025 April
AU announces the release of the Fireworks II FID Smart Sensor. The module is designed for use in GCs, Total Hydrocarbon Analyzers and as a (world first) stand alone Total Hydrocarbon Module.
2024 February
The ELT coated lamp technology is now incorporated in all AU PID sensors. our proprietary ELT coating extends the life of our lamps to make them absolute world class caliber.
2023 June
Our Ground Breaking, patent pending, HeatwaveTM PID Sensor is taking the PID sensor market. Heatwave technology is a game changer in ambient TVOC monitoring applications. It is now Incorporated in our original Rainbow Series sensors and the AUT Heatwave product
This remarkable sensor works where all PID sensor have failed ever since their introduction over 2 decades ago.

2023 September
The newest innovation in PID sensor design is truly remarkable. The Full Range PID dual output sensor provides sensitivity down to very lowest concentration levels and also provides readings to the very high concentrations.
Full Range covers the Full Range of PID in a single, affordable, high performance sensor and is available for your new instrument design.
June 2023
AU has established a regional office and manufacturing center in Asia. Our Taiwan-based manufacturing and sales hub (AUT) significantly improves our position in the Asian market
Located in Taipei, Taiwan, our regional office will greatly enhance our ability to support customers across Asia. Our staff of experienced professionals who know the Asian market are now providing world class services to our customers
2021 June
AU has released the Rainbow series of PID sensors with high performance detection cell and miniature lamp technology
“For our customers, we are the bridge to success.”

How Can We Help You and Your Company?
Products
We develop innovative new products and improve existing technologies. Our core strength is in analytical instrumentation design and optimization of all system aspects for specific applications. We have extensive experience with gaseous sample in both continuous (total signal) and discrete sensing (separate or speciated compounds) in both diffusion and flow-thru configurations. We incorporate properly designed pneumatic systems and sample conditioning to produce exceptional performance and exceed the demands of regulatory requirements.
Services
We know that we cannot be successful unless our clients are successful. We strive to understand the needs of our customers and provide suggestions and analysis of various approaches in an effort to balance performance and costs. We design custom products and provide design services, consultation on monitoring approaches and support for regulatory compliance. We also provide training covering hardware and general concepts of analytical measurements. Our support allows the professionals on the staff of our customers to better serve their customers.
