New Mid-IR Analyzer Delivers the Precision and Long-term Stability Needed for Advancing Nitrogen Cycle Research<\/i><\/p>\n

SANTA CLARA, Calif.<\/span><\/span>, April 16, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Picarro Inc.<\/a>, a global leader in gas concentration and stable isotope analyzers, today introduced the PI5131-i<\/i> Analyzer<\/a>, a cutting-edge mid–<\/i>infrared (mid–<\/i>IR) analyzer designed for fast, high-precision, simultaneous measurements of site-specific and bulk \u03b415<\/sup>N, \u03b415<\/sup>N\u03b1,  \u03b415<\/sup>N\u03b2 and \u03b418<\/sup>O in nitrous oxide (N\u2082O). These isotopomers of N2<\/sub>O can be used to probe sources and sinks in the global nitrogen cycle by identifying nitrification and denitrification processes in soils and water which are key in soil and agricultural science.<\/p>\n
