Features and Benefits

• Measurements of δ¹³C and CH₄

• Data rates as fast as 1 Hz

• Requires only 150 W (standard package): ideal for field applications

• δ13C measurements over a wide range of concentrations

• EP model reports over large ranges with negligible drift

• New model (Range 3) provides δ¹³CH₄ in ambient air with only 1 ppm methane
