i3211e CO2 Isotope Eddy Flux Analyzer

The new AMBA i3211e high frequency CO2 isotope analyzer is specially designed for eddy covariance systems. 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 lower sample volume requirements compared to previous technologies, thereby opening up the range of analytical possibilities.

The AMBA i3211e eddy covariance system is the best solution for isotopic CO2 flux research. The tiny 0.1ml cavity enables high sample turnover rate at low gas flow and true 10 Hz sampling rate. The closed path design eliminates interference from weather events (precipitation, snowfall, fog or haze, etc.) enabling researchers to obtain real-time reliable CO2 concentration and isotopic data in variable environmental conditions.

The AMBA i3211e can easily be coupled with commonly used 3D ultrasonic anemometers. All data is processed and recorded automatically by the on-board computer. The smart sensor interface enables easy integration of other environmental parameters.

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.
