Gasera - Model ONE GHG - Greenhouse Gas Analyzer - Brochure

Protecting life, health and security GASERA ONE concept GASERA ONE is a photoacoustic multi-gas analyzer that serves a wide variety of research and industrial applications. It combines the best of both worlds in the detector and the light source sides. The unmatched performance of GASERA ONE is based on a photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy engine with a patented ultra-sensitive cantilever pressure sensor. Many problems – one simple solution GASERA ONE can be tailored to suit multiple applications by selecting optimal lasers and//or light sources. For even more complex measurement scenarios, several GASERA ONEs can be stacked and synchronized to provide an ultimate solution for your application. Easy-to-use – one button operation GASERA ONE provides the user with a simple and intuitive interface with high resolution display and a single rotating knob. In addition, the user can control the GASERA ONE wirelessly with smartphone, tablet or other devices.

Monitoring air quality in animal shelters. Border security Finding trace levels of illegal substances and marker volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) such as MDMA, cocaine and amphetamine, drug precursors such as safrole, BMK and ephedrine, as well as explosives such as nitrotoluene and nitroglycerin. Cargo container safety Detecting harmful chemicals, fumigants and VOC’s inside sealed cargo containers. Fenceline monitoring Monitoring of ambient background levels of gases such as HF, ammonia and formaldehyde. Indoor air quality and occupational safety Real-time monitoring of harmful VOC’s present in indoor air including formaldehyde, toluene, benzene, xylene, perchloroethylene. Ship emissions monitoring Detecting and analyzing SO2 and CO2 levels from ship emissions in order to determine the sulphur content in the fuel used by the ship. Soil analysis Identifying GHG emissions of soil in situ in or- der to evaluate the climatic effects. Evaluating the need for fertilization by measuring the ratio of N2O and ammonia in the soil. Waste anesthetic gases Monitoring the levels of anesthetic gases such as fluranes and N2O as well as common clean- ing solvents in hospital operating theatres.

(available in fall 2016) Environment Operational conditions: Temperature range: 0 °C – +40 °C Humidity: below 90% RH, non-condensing Pressure range: ambient level Dust//water resistance: IP20 (IEC 529) Storage conditions: Temperature range: -20 °C – +60 °C Sample gas conditions: Temperature: 0 – +49 °C Humidity: non-condensing Pressure: 930 mbar – 1100 mbar Gas flow: approx 1 liters//minute Particulates < 1 μm Measurement specifications Response time: dependent on user configu- rable channel integration time (C.I.T.) and gas exchange routine. Typically from 5 seconds to few minutes (model dependent) Detection limit: gas and light source depen- dent. Typically from sub-ppb to sub-ppm Dynamic range: typically 5 orders of magni- tude (i.e. 100 000 times the detection limit) Repeatability: less than 1 % of measured value in operational conditions at the calibra- tion concentration Accuracy: limited by the calibration gas accuracy at the calibration concentration.
