This instrument is a self-contained analyzer for measuring trace amounts of a selected gas using diode laser optical absorption with wavelength modulation spectroscopy (wms) detection. The analyzer is fully automated upon power-up. A LabView-based program is supplied to read, display, and log gas concentration, temperature and pressure measurements, and instrument diagnostic codes on the user’s computer. Readout is via a USB port configured for serial transmission and is available for user-customized data acquisition programs. The basic unit requires user-supplied sampling lines. An internal pump to flow the gas through the absorption cell is standard. If the sampled gas is also present in the background air, an additional port is provided so that the enclosure and path external to the absorption cell can be purged.

In addition to this bench top analyzer, Southwest Sciences also makes rugged, specialized instruments for measuring gases in industrial, outdoor and airborne applications. To discuss special requirements, please contact Kris Peterson at (505) 984-1322 (info@swsciences.com).

* Nitrogen purge required to measure concentrations less than 3 times the concentration in ambient air. ‡LDL is defined as the concentration for which S/N = 1. The concentration measurement range is gas dependent. Contact Southwest Sciences for the expected concentration range for a selected gas.  Modifications to accommodate other gases, concentrations, or conditions may be possible.  Please contact us regarding your needs.
