Isotopic Precision ≤25 Per Meg: The New Picarro L2130-i Analyzer

The most advanced platform for water isotope analysis for water in any form, anywhere

  • First instrument to achieve per meg precision range (typical instruments measure at 11 per meg for δ18O and 38 per meg for δD).

  • High stability allows maximum precision gains by data averaging (down to <10 per meg for δ18O) or sub per mil accuracy with once daily calibration

  • For Solids: extract and measures water with Picarro's patent-pending Induction Module including Micro-Pyrolysis Technology

  • For Liquids: Automated sample handling with vaporizers, autosampler, and Micro-Pyrolysis Module to remove interfering organics compounds from plant extracts

  • For Vapor: High dynamic range and high precision even under dry conditions. Two-standard calibration system with multiplexed sampling for field measurements

The Picarro Isotopic Water Analyzer, L2130-i provides both δ18O and δD stable isotope ratios at the highest precision levels of any isotope analyzer. This analyzer takes applications in paleoclimatology, water vapor source tracking, hydrologic mapping, and oceanography to an entirely new level of sensitivity. Ongoing research in hydrology, limnology, and ecophysiology will benefit from increased sample throughput and reduced calibration frequency.

The analyzer integrates seamlessly with Picarro's exclusive suite of peripherals including the Induction Module for rapid (<5 min.) water extraction and analysis from solid samples, High-Throughput and High-Precision Vaporizers and Autosamplers for measurement of liquid water, and the Standards Delivery Module for delivering multiple liquid standards for calibration and switching between different sources for atmospheric vapor measurements. The operator can easily reconfigure the instrument to measure different sample types in a matter of minutes by switching accessories and associated software modes without recalibrating the analyzer.

Utilizing Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy technology, the L2130-i analyzer is a compact (<44 cm) and lightweight (20 kg) package with closed-loop temperature and pressure control that enables extreme performance in the laboratory and robustness under field conditions.  For researchers, the L2130-i delivers a best-in-class combination of flexibility, speed, high-precision, and ease of use that sets a new standard for water isotope analyzers.
