ABB LOS GATOS RESEARCH



THE WORLD LEADER IN HIGH PERFORMANCE ANALYZERS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF TRACE GASES AND ISOTOPES



LGR's isotope analyzers can be used everywhere. These Analyzer use LGR's Off-axis ICOS technology, a fourth-generation cavity enhanced absorption technique. Off-axis ICOS has many advantages over conventional Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy (CRDS) techniques such as being alignment insensitive, having a much shorter measurement time (yielding a faster data rate), and not requiring expensive and power consuming auxiliary components. The Analyzer includes an internal computer that can store data practically indefinitely on its internal hard drive (for applications requiring unattended longer term operation), and send real-time data to a data logger through its analog and digital (RS232) outputs. In addition, all LGR Analyzers may be fully accessed and controlled over the Internet for remote diagnostics and unattended operation.
