One of the best parts of my day is seeing customers’ social posts about how and where they’re using Picarro instruments. They’re often out in the middle of nowhere analyzing soil fluxes, or the composition of ice, or sampling a water source. Or, they’re sharing their excitement as they open and set up their new instrument. A Picarro is a like a trusted sidekick and it’s clear many customers are very fond of their instruments. 

It’s no wonder customers love them. Picarro instruments are based on our patented CRDS technology and provide ultra-precise measurements of a wide range of species. They’re easy to operate, robust, provide real-time data, and are portable enough to be used in very remote places and harsh environments.

Selecting a Picarro is the best decision you can make for your project. The second-best decision is purchasing an annual service plan. Picarro instruments are built to last. When maintained properly, they will deliver the precise measurements you need for years to come. To help you keep your new and existing Picarro analyzers and peripherals functioning properly, we’ve enhanced our annual service plans to meet your specific needs. Whether you want Picarro to take care of maintaining your instrument to maximize uptime, want to avoid unexpected repair costs, or you just need a reminder and the supplies to do the maintenance yourself, we’ve got a plan for you.
