i3211 CO2 Isotope Analyzer

AMBA i3211 CO2 isotope analyzer is a new and exciting solution for continuous measurements of the isotope ratio and concentration of CO2 in air with published and guaranteed precision specifications. Combining mid-infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCL) with String Topology Waveguide (STW) technology has enabled a breakthrough cavity volume of less than 0.1mL. The resulting small volume sample path results in fast sample turnover rates with low sample volume requirements compared to previous technologies opening up the range of analytical possibilities.

High sampling rate at low sample volumes means easy connection with small culture bottles and chambers for microbial/soil studies, leaf/community photosynthesis studies etc. Excellent compatibility and extensibility with other peripherals such as gas chromatographs, elemental analyzers, TOC/TIC analyzers and other CO2 generation devices.

All AMBA analyzers can be controlled remotely via the Internet enabling operators to obtain and share data from measurements in remote locations and allowing continuous monitoring of the instrument for optimum performance.

AMBA analyzer ownership includes instrument life-time access to our one-to-one customer service and technical support, right from product purchase, through to system integration and beyond.
