The Picarro G2210-i isotope analyzer is designed to address the scientific community’s need for real-time methane emissions source attribution. High-precision atmospheric methane and ethane measurement capabilities, combined with carbon dioxide and water vapor measurements, provide the user with a unique tool to measure and determine the source of methane emissions—including landfills, fracking sites, and abandoned oil and gas wells. 

• Simultaneously measures δ¹³CH₄ and C₂H₆-to-CH₄ ratio
• Measures concentrations of C₂H₆, CH₄, CO₂ and H₂O
• Reports dry mole fractions of CH₄ and C₂H₆
• Field-deployable for real-time CH₄ emissions source attribution 
• Small cavity (35 mL) for fast sample turnover time 
• High precision and low drift with outstanding temperature and pressure (T&P) stability

The Picarro G2210-i analyzer is ideal for discerning and measuring the source of methane emissions real-time in the field or through grab-sample measurements in the lab. The Picarro G2210-i analyzer measures δ¹³CH₄ at 0.5 – 1.0 ⁰/₀₀ precision_, and it measures concentrations of CH₄ to less than 0.1 parts-per-billion (ppb) and C₂H₆ to less than 1 ppb (all precision measurements at a 5-minute average). It also measures CO₂ and H₂O in dry mole fractions. The G2210-i analyzer can be paired with a variety of peripherals to extend and expand functionality.
