Los Gatos Research, a provider of precision trace gas analyzers, has reported the expansion of its portfolio of lower speed (up to 1 Hz) trace gas analyzers to add nine different Ultraportable trace gas analyzers with a variety of combinations offered in 10 different products.
A nitrogen dioxide analyzer that won 2012 R&D 100 Award has been added to a 1 Hz analyzer line that measures the same trace gases as of the high speed analyzers. The analyzers find use in applications ranging from landfill gas monitoring to oil trace gas flux to natural gas leak detection. The trace gases that can be measured by the analyzers include hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen sulfide, acetylene, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, methane, water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and hydrogen sulfide are important volcanic region gases. All these analyzers feature user-cleanable optics and can be utilized with customized chambers or with chambers of other makers. Los Gatos Research also provides a competitively-priced Multiport Inlet Unit with either 8 or 16 inlets that allow easier integration of multiple chambers into a single analyzer.
Los Gatos Research’s gas analyzers are built upon its patented fourth-generation, cavity-enhanced laser absorption spectroscopy technique. This novel method is more rugged and more accurate when compared to previous cavity-enhanced techniques like traditional cavity ringdown spectroscopy, as the company’s tools eliminate the requirement of sub-nanometer stability of its optics, ultra-precise alignment or a high level of thermal control. This results in higher reliability, longer maintenance intervals, higher absolute accuracy and lower cost of ownership.
