AN 24 - Picarro’s Combustion Module-CRDS Quickly Distinguishes Between Renewable and Fossil Fuel Plastics A fast screening method for supply chain management and QA/QC.

AN 23 - Picarro CM-CRDS Using the Approved AOAC Internal Standard Isotope Ratio Analysis (ISCIRA) Method for Honey (AOAC 998.121) This note provides details about a Picarro CRDS-based fast screening method to test for adulteration with corn or cane sugar.

AN 22 - Combustion Module-CRDS for δ13C analysis of imported honey and detection of adulteration A fast screening method of imported honey to test for product adulteration with high fructose corn syrup.

AN 21 No Compromise High Throughput δ18O and δD Measurements Picarro water isotope analyzers provide optional high speed measurements with minimal impact on memory and precision and no impact on drift compared to high precision operation.

AN 20 - Exceptional Reproducibility from a Picarro Isotopic Water Analyzer Measuring the same water samples on two consecutive days using the Picarro L1102-i, without calibration, yields highly consistent data.

AN  19 - Automated Measurement of δ18O and δD in Briny (Salty) Samples A test spanning ca. 1200 separate injections over several days indicates no performance changes or other effects due to salt build-up.

AN 18 - Automated Measurement of δ13C for Identifying Edible Oils A fast screening method distinguishes between oils derived from different plant species and can be used to test for product adulteration.
