More Precise, Accurate Carbon Monoxide Analyser

Thermo Fisher Scientific (USA), specialists in serving science, recently announced the release of the Thermo Scientific IRIS 4800 mid-IR laser-based carbon monoxide (CO) analyser. Designed for improved accuracy and greater precision, the Unique Difference Frequency Generation (DFG) laser technology, used across the IRIS series platform, enables measurement in the mid-infrared region, where line strengths are orders of magnitude.

Because the IRIS 4800 analyser offers real-time ppb-level detection of CO, a criteria pollutant and tracer for man-made emissions of carbon dioxide, ambient researchers and analysts in industrial plants and power generation stations can obtain immediate feedback aiding emissions reduction and ambient and source gas monitoring programs. Housed in a single-box solution, the IRIS 4800 analyser features an integrated manifold and pump designed to enable continuous operation with minimal maintenance. All IRIS analysers are equipped with web-based remote access to enable continuous monitoring in the field.

“We designed the IRIS series of mid-IR laser-based analysers with a view to improving trace species monitoring through greater precision and accuracy, another crucial step in finding solutions to reduce key greenhouse gases and other pollutants,” said Christopher Elicone, product manager, Thermo Scientific Environmental and Process Monitoring business. “Our latest IRIS analyser is another example of our commitment to delivering effective, innovative technology and monitoring solutions designed to enable everyone to enjoy cleaner air.”
