This rugged analyzer offers simultaneous measurements with rates selectable up to 1 Hz, providing a precise and reliable performance with an extensive dynamic range and resistance to cross-interferences. Easy to set up and operate, it delivers state-of-the-art stability and precision, making it ideal for field applications requiring quick and dependable data. Thousands of these systems have been shipped for a range of environmental monitoring applications.

Overview of LGR-ICOS™ Greenhouse Gas Analyzers

The LGR-ICOS™ Greenhouse Gas Analyzers by ABB are advanced instruments specifically crafted for precise and reliable measurement of greenhouse gases, such as methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. These analyzers leverage the proven technology of Los Gatos Research, utilizing patented Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS). This innovative technology is the latest advancement in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, which offers high sensitivity and accuracy in gas detection. The Ultraportable version of ABB’s greenhouse gas analyzer is compact, crushproof, and easy to transport, making it largely opted for field studies and on-the-go measurements. The unit is designed to offer simultaneous, real-time data on multiple gases in a robust, user-friendly design, meeting the needs of diverse applications ranging from environmental monitoring to research and industrial compliance.

About Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) including carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and water vapor (H₂O), trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, forming a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. Although, this process is natural, today's growing activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and farming contribute to increasing GHG levels, resulting in global warming and climate change. Rising temperatures, melting ice, higher sea levels, and more extreme weather are the direct consequences of increasing GHG levels. Here comes the relevance of monitoring GHG emissions as such close evaluation using tools helps to understand their impact and devise ways to reduce them. By measuring these gases, scientists can analyze changes, evaluate the effectiveness of actions, and modify policy decisions. This information is essential for formulating methods to combat climate change, protect the environment, and meet international climate goals. Overall, effective monitoring using tools such as greenhouse gas analyzers, helps us take informed steps towards a more sustainable future.
