Los Gatos Research (LGR), has introduced the ‘world’s first’ ultra-portable greenhouse gas (GHG) analyser, which reports methane, carbon dioxide and water vapour with parts per billion precision.
The new Ultra-portable Greenhouse Gas Analyser (UGGA) simultaneously measures CO2, CH4 and H2O concentrations, without cross sensitivity with other gases and consumes less than 70 watts.
According to LGR, unlike instruments based on non-laser techniques, the UGGA automatically corrects the CO2 and CH4 for all water vapour dilution and spectroscopic effects and reports both species as dry mole fractions, eliminating the need for sample drying for highest accuracy.
LGR describes the devices as ‘ideal’ for portable operation – in a vehicle, plane or ship – as well as for remote, extended operation at challenging locations and sites with full control via the internet.
