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 common denominator. Time to detect an AMC is ultimately affected, which can lead to a false alarm or even missing an AMC event altogether.

The superior design of the SAM system is optimized to ensure the highest combined performance, utilizing a patent-pending non-linear multiplexing system that enables high gas flow rates, minimizes cross port contamination, and quickly reports accurate contaminant concentrations. The Picarro SAM-C system can be configured to sample multiple locations, accommodate up to four of Picarro’s SI series of analyzers to measure a variety of contaminants.
