Anthropogenic emissions refer to the greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrogen dioxide (N2O) produced due to deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, and so on. Carbon monoxide (CO) is known to be a tracer of such anthropogenic emissions and its measurements help scientists correlate the sources of greenhouse gas emissions such as N2O. CO and N2O measurements, if done simultaneously, correlate N2O emission sources, which help in finding solutions to reduce the effect of climate change. N2O and CO analyzers help a great deal in this regard to get accurate measurements of gas emissions. At Barnett Technical Services, we offer LGR-ICOS™ GLA151-N2OCM N2O & CO–Quantum cascade portable analyzer by ABB. Now part of the ABB Group, Los Gatos Research (LGR) is a leading developer and manufacturer of instruments for measuring trace gases, isotopes, pollutants, and fluxes. The carbon monoxide analyzers use the patented Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) technology. Barnett Technical Services proudly serves as an authorized distributor of ABB's product line, offering a range of LGR-ICOS carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide analyzers.

The measurement of carbon monoxide helps analyze anthropogenic emission sources. These greenhouse gas emissions result from various human activities which contribute to global warming. Human activities increase greenhouse gas (GHG) levels, contributing to climate change issues. Heavy industrialization and release of chemicals into the environment, deforestation, excessive farming, and burning of fossil fuels are some of the human activities that increase the carbon dioxide levels in the air. This alters the ecosystem and climate patterns, which is a global issue that needs to be fixed. The measurement and analysis of such emissions in air and their sources must be known to find sustainable solutions. Hence, using CO emissions as a measurement guideline for tracing other such emissions is significant. The simultaneous N2O and CO measurement for source identification is equally crucial.The All-in-One Solution: GLA151-N2OCM Analyzer
The GLA151-N2OCM quantum cascade (QC) portable analyzer simultaneously measures water vapor mole fraction. This way the analyzer reports N2O and CO on a dry mole basis. Also, it accurately corrects for water vapor dilution and absorption line broadening effects and hence prevents the sample from drying or making manual empirical corrections. The GLA151-N2OCM carbon monoxide analyzer is a highly sensitive, rugged, and portable device designed for many demanding field applications such as trace-gas air quality monitoring and chamber flux measurements. These applications have zero tolerance for errors and demand extreme accuracy and precision.Benefits of LGR-ICOS™ GLA151-N2OCM N2O & CO–Quantum Cascade Portable Analyzers
