Sub-ppb Sensitivity in a Battery-powered Lunch-Box Size Instrument
Introducing the new MIRA Pico CO/N2O portable analyzer from Aeris Technologies, Inc. The Pico CO/N2O analyzer is a giant leap forward in gas sensing : sub-ppb sensitivity, CO measurement displaying an absolute accuracy at the ppb level without the need for temperature control, no calibration required, real time and autonomous operation, extreme linearity over multiple decades of concentration, portable, battery-powered, and at a fraction of the cost of analytical solutions displaying comparable performance.
In addition of sharing all the great features of the MIRA Pico platform, the Pico CO/N2O analyzer uses a unique and proprietary differential approach allowing to cancel out temperature-induced drifts in the reported CO concentration. The system uses a dual inlet valve switching continuously back and forth between the unaltered air sample and the CO-scrubbed sample. The result is an unprecedented analytical tool reporting carbon monoxide concentration at ppb-level accuracy in real time (1 measurement cycle per minute).
The Pico CO/N2O analyzer can be used for a wide variety of monitoring applications including:
- Atmospheric Studies
- Combustion Studies
- Emission Monitoring
- Indoor air quality monitoring
- Automotive emissions
