Ecology is a science that examines the relationships organisms have with one another and with their environment. Greenhouse gas concentrations, such as those of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water (H2O), can directly and indirectly influence an ecosystem’s behavior and health. Gas concentrations, as well as isotopic signatures (e.g. δ13C), can act as indicators of ecosystem attributes such as transpiration levels or migratory patterns. Monitoring methods include ground sampling, ambient air measurements, and airborne surveys.

Closed System Measurements

Whether you are looking at gas evolution from soils or vegetation, or the incorporation of stable labels into living organisms, our rugged, high-precision analyzers offer unparalleled performance. Picarro’s small cavity design technology has long been the optimal choice for sample-limited studies. Now we have developed a series of turn-key systems especially designed to avoid external contamination.

Combustion Module

The Combustion Module, designed for Picarro by Costech (a leader in combustion systems), combusts solid samples as small as 250mg C to release CO2 gas. The Combustion Module is connected to a Picarro isotopic analyzer via the Picarro Caddy (A2100) or the Picarro Liaison™ Universal Interface (A0301) for high-precision carbon isotope (13C) measurements from carbon dioxide.
