EGM-5 Portable CO2 Gas Analyzer COMING SOON
Announcement posted by John Morris Group 18 Jan 2016
A rugged, highly portable instrument for use in the lab and field. The perfect solution for soil CO2 efflux and net canopy flux measurements.
John Morris Scientific will shortly release the PP Systems EGM-5, a compact, lightweight instrument (1.5 kg) with a custom, rugged aluminium enclosure. A very portable and durable product for demanding field measurements. Additionally, the EGM-5 features an integral, rechargeable 7.2V battery providing up to 16 hours of continuous operation in the field. The EGM-5 also features a miniature, long life air sampling pump that can be used for both dynamic and static measurements. Data can be recorded manually or automatically at user selected intervals.
The EGM-5 can be supplied with two different optical benches calibrated specifically to the range required. One bench is optimised for measurement ranges of CO2 up to 30,000 ppm and another for ranges above 30,000 up to 100,000 ppm. For users that want to recalibrate the gas analyser to a new level, this can easily be achieved as long as it is within the range for that particular optical bench.
The design of the EGM-5 ensures an inherent calibration stability that has been confirmed by over 35 years of experience in gas analysis technology. It features a non-dispersive, infrared measurement technique coupled with microprocessor based in signal processing resulting in precise measurement of CO2. The innovative “Auto-Zero” technology and insulated, thermostatically controlled optical bench ensures fast warm-up, long term stability, accuracy and analyser calibration.
