Measures N2O, CH4, CO2, NH3 and H2O in animal husbandry.

The Picarro G2509 gas concentration analyzer is specifically designed for use in animal agriculture, manure processing, and fertilizer studies. In these demanding environments, high methane concentrations and rapidly evolving ammonia dynamics can make accurate measurement of ammonia and greenhouse gases difficult. The G2509 provides real-time measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), ammonia (NH3) in parts per billion (ppb) and water vapor (H2O) in parts per million (ppm) with negligible drift.

Advantages:

• Optimized flow path for fast response to ammonia.
• Wide dynamic CH4 range up to 800 ppm
• Simultaneous measurement of five gases in air: N2O, CH4, CO2, NH3 and H2O
• Sensitivity in the billionths range for excellent rate-of-rise quantification
• Fast response time and continuous measurements provide data with high temporal resolution

Typical measurement accuracy at 5 minutes measurement time:

N2O: 0.6 ppb

CH4: 0.1 ppb to 12 ppm, 3 ppb to 800 ppm

CO2: 38 ppb

NH3: 0.04 ppb

H2O: < 100 ppm
