δ¹⁵N for nitrous oxide (N₂O) and N₂O gas concentration

The Picarro G5102-i isotopic and gas concentration analyzer enables measurements of site specific and bulk δ¹⁵N in N₂O. It is an ideal solution for discerning and measuring the source of N₂O emissions real-time in the field or through grab-sample measurements in the lab. The isotopomers of N₂O can be used to probe sources and sinks in the global nitrogen cycle by identifying nitrification and denitrification processes in soils and water.

• High-precision at atmospheric concentrations
• δ¹⁵N measurements including site-specific isotopomers 
• Cryogen-free, continuous operation, field and laboratory deployable

The G5102-i analyzer measures δ¹⁵N, δ¹⁵Nα, and δ¹⁵Nβ with a precision of 0.5 per mil (at a 10-minute average) and maximum drift of <0.1 ppb, typical, over 24 hours, and it measures N₂O concentration with a precision of <0.05 ppb (at a 10-minute average) and maximum drift of 0.2 per mil, typical, over 24 hours.
