Demonstrations of the popular L2140-i isotopic water analyzer with the new, faster, higher capacity autosampler to be featured in Booth #40

Santa Clara, CA — April 17, 2023 — Picarro Inc., a leading provider of gas concentration and stable isotope analyzers and systems for industrial and science applications, will once again be exhibiting at the General assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). This important conference provides a forum for geoscientists from all disciplines of earth, planetary, and space sciences to present their work and discuss their ideas with experts. This year’s event is scheduled from 23-28 April 2023 in Vienna, Austria.

On the show floor, Picarro technologists will be available to answer questions about Picarro’s full portfolio of Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) analyzers. Demonstrations of the popular L2140-i Isotopic Water Analyzer with the new autosampler will also be available. The new autosampler is faster, can handle more vials per tray, and features new software improvements. The new design enables easier access to the syringe compartment and includes new LED state indicators. Booth visitors will see how the new system delivers the fastest, most precise water isotope measurements of δ¹⁸O, δ¹⁷O, and δ²H and determines ¹⁷O-excess. These measurements are critical for advanced research into all aspects of the water cycle and for demanding applications such as paleoclimatology and oceanography. 

Picarro solutions will also be featured in 30 presentations and posters on a range of topics, including:
