Liaison™: Unique Universal Interface for Bulk ¹³C Analysis

Extend Picarro Isotopic CO₂  Analysis to Any Elemental Analyzer. Fully Automated For High Throughput. Installs in Minutes.

• Brings isotope analyses to the enormous installed base of front-end systems
• Provides high precision δ¹³C analyses
• Fully-automated and high-throughput
• Laboratory and field station deployable, easy to install

Liaison enables scientists to connect Picarro's Isotopic CO₂ analyzer to commercially-available sample preparation front-ends for bulk stable isotope analysis (BSIA). This capability brings unprecedented ease of use and low cost of ownership to labs unable to invest in the complexity and cost of isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS).

Liaison is uniquely positioned to leverage the high-precision, and low cost of ownership features of Picarro's isotopic CO₂ Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) technology into a plethora of applications, that wouldn't otherwise be possible and expand the use of stable isotope techniques into new scientific applications and research initiatives.

Picarro offers a Combustion Module specifically designed for use with the G1101-i Isotopic CO₂ system and the Liaison interface. In addition, the Costech 4010 (for combustion of solids, liquids) and the AutomateFx (for DIC applications) are also guaranteed compatible. The Picarro analyzer controls the front-end (including autosamplers) and also manages all gas flow between the CO₂ generating system, Liaison and the CRDS instrument. Liaison is an ideal solution for a wide range of bulk ¹³C analysis applications.
