The demanding precision of triple oxygen isotope (17O) measurements in water has restricted its measurement to dual-inlet mass spectrometry until the recent development of commercially available infrared-laser analyzers, including cavity ringdown spectrometers (CRDS). 17O is now increasingly measured by laboratories in order to better constrain the source and history of meteoric waters.…

The ability to measure the stable isotopic composition of plant and soil waters, surface waters and ambient atmospheric vapor is essential to understanding an ecosystem's water budget, including how water cycles between the air, plants and the subsurface. With the advent of laser-based spectroscopy, e.g., Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS), the isotopic analysis of waters has become…

Stable isotopes in the water molecule (2H or D and 18O), carbon, and nitrogen are useful tracers and integrators of processes in plant ecohydrological systems across scales. Over the last few years, there has been growing interest in regional to continental scale synthesis of stable isotope data with a view to elucidating biogeochemical and ecohydrological patterns. Published datasets from…

Microwave extraction–isotope ratio infrared spectroscopy (ME-IRIS): a novel technique for rapid extraction and in-line analysis of δ¹⁸ORATIONALE

Traditionally, stable isotope analysis of plant and soil water has been a technically challenging, labour-intensive and time-consuming process. Here we describe a rapid single-step technique which combines Microwave Extraction with…

At EGU 2024 in Vienna, Ciprian Stremtan, Jan Woźniak, Montana Puscas and Tudor Tamas presented a poster: Laser Ablation - Cavity Ring Down Spectrometry as a new method for in-situ analysis of δ13C in carbonate samples.

Picarro’s emissions360^TM platform is an emissions management SaaS solution that enables operators to revolutionize their approach to risk management.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganic compounds within the lithography process cause defects on reticles, hazing of scanner optics, and other serious problems that damage expensive lithography tools and can result in yield loss. The Picarro SLiM 100 Lithography Monitoring System is a 1-ppb class detection system that integrates Picarro’s industry leading cavity ring-down…

The SAM-S AMC Mobile Monitoring System integrates Picarro’s industry-leading cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) analyzers into a high-performance sampling system. Traditional sampler designs degrade individual analyzer performance through the use of a linear manifold which limits the gas flow rate to each analyzer. As a result, traditional samplers relegate analyzer performance to the…

The SAM-C AMC Monitoring System integrates Picarro’s industry-leading cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) analyzers into a high-performance sampling system. Traditional sampler designs degrade individual analyzer performance through the use of a linear manifold which limits the gas flow rate to each analyzer. As a result, traditional samplersrelegate analyzer performance to the lowest…

The SI5450 analyzer offers the power of highly sensitive laser spectroscopy in a robust, easy-to-use, compact design. It employs a mid-IR laser that effectively measures the concentration of SO₂ gas with a high degree of accuracy and precision. It offers significant advantages compared with incumbent AMC measurement techniques, such as ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS), ion…

In semiconductor fabs, process tools are spread over large cleanroom areas and multiple floors. Air handlers recirculate most of the air within a cleanroom, which can quickly spread AMCs. Traditional sampler designs degrade individual analyzer performance using a linear manifold limiting the gas flow rate to each analyzer. As a result, traditional samplers relegate analyzer performance to…

The Picarro SI2205 gas concentration analyzer delivers ultra-precise, parts-per-trillion (ppt) measurements of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in a reliable, easy-to-use, compact design. The SI2205 can be commissioned and operating within minutes, requires no field calibration or consumables, and can operate for months without user interaction.

• Real-time AMC monitoring in cleanrooms, FOUP…
