N2O Analyzers

Types of ABB-LGR N2O Analyzers Offered by Barnett

Here are our offerings along with their features.

• LGR-ICOS™ GLA151-N2OCM N₂O & CO analyzers: This highly sensitive quantum cascade portable analyzer offers easy and reliable measurements of nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide concentrations in a sample. Concentrations of both gases can be performed simultaneously, which allows researchers to corelate sources of N₂O emissions. This user-friendly, rugged device has inbuilt computer storage and can send real-data recordings to a datalogger through RS232 outputs. This can function in an operating temperature range of 5 – 45 °C, with non-condensing ambient humidity less than 99%. This analyzer is suitable for field studies and applications such as compliance monitoring, air quality studies and soil flux studies, and wherever sensitive measurements of greenhouse gases such as N₂O are needed.
• GLA451-N2OI2/N2OI3 Isotopic N₂O analyzers: This highly sensitive enhanced performance quantum cascade benchtop analyzer accurately measures the concentrations of N₂O, δ¹⁵N, δ¹⁵N_a, δ¹⁵N_b, δ¹⁸O and δ¹⁷ With this analyzer, N₂O and its stable isotopes can be simultaneously measured.

Understanding Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) Emissions

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), almost 40% of nitrous oxide emissions happen due to human activities and agricultural soil management. They remain in the atmosphere for decades until they are treated and destroyed. The impact of 1 pound of N₂O on warming the atmosphere is 265 times that of 1 pound of carbon dioxide, which means they hugely contribute to global warming, and N₂O contributes heavily to ozone layer depletion. This is why it is extremely important to measure their concentrations to prevent toxicity, pollution, emissions, and so on.

Benefits of Using Our ABB-LGR N2O Analyzers

Here are some benefits of using our N2O analyzers.

• The patented Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) technology used to make these N₂O analyzers offers you the latest tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy features.
• With this user-friendly device, you can immediately begin recording within seconds after it is powered on, and can take the measurements continuously.
• The data is reported every second with high sensitivity.
• The device is directly operated on DC power.
