MOUNTAIN VIEW CA, July 03, 2012 (Press-News.org) Los Gatos Research (LGR), the leader in precision trace gas analyzers, today announced that it has expanded the high speed (10 Hz) trace gas analyzer line to include as many as seven different trace gases with various combinations available in eight different products. The trace gases that can be measured include carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ammonia (NH3), and carbonyl sulfide (OCS or COS). These analyzers can connect them to an existing data logger or can connect to an (optional) LGR Multi-Channel Data Logging System that synchronizes serial (RS-232) outputs from a single or multiple LGR analyzers and other devices such as GPS or sonic anemometers and records all data with a common time stamp.
"Our high speed, high precision analyzers can save tens of thousands of dollars over other alternatives and include fully automated operation, and Ethernet and wireless connectivity. They provide a tremendous flexibility for eddy covariance researchers since they are designed to be deployed in unmanned monitoring stations where many of these trace gases have never been measured before," says Dr. Douglas Baer, President of LGR.
LGR high speed and high precision gas analyzers are based on the company's patented technology, a fourth-generation, cavity-enhanced laser absorption spectroscopy technique. This unique approach is both more rugged and more precise than earlier cavity-enhanced techniques, such as conventional cavity ringdown spectroscopy, because LGR instruments do not need ultra-precise alignment or sub nanometer stability of its optics, or a high degree of thermal control. This ensures higher absolute accuracy, longer maintenance intervals, higher reliability, and reduced cost of ownership.
About Los Gatos Research
LGR (www.LGRinc.com) is the leading innovator of instrumentation for measurements of trace gases and isotopes based on cavity enhanced laser absorption spectroscopy techniques. LGR instruments are used to measure gases, liquids and isotope ratios in atmospheric and environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, industrial process control, and homeland security. LGR instruments have been deployed by scientists worldwide for ultra-precise measurements on all seven continents using research towers, unmanned aerial vehicles, mobile laboratories, research and commercial aircraft, and deep-sea submersibles. Based in Mountain View, California, LGR has been in business since 1994 and markets instruments worldwide directly and through distributors.

The world's number of IVF and ICSI babies has now reached a calculated total of 5 million
2012-07-02
Istanbul, 1 July 2012: The number of babies born as a result of assisted reproduction technologies (ART) has reached an estimated total of 5 million since the world's first, Louise Brown, was born in July 1978. The figures will be presented this week at the 28th annual meeting of ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology), which begins today, 1st July, in Istanbul, Turkey.
The calculation was made for a presentation at the congress from ICMART (International Committee for Monitoring Assisted Reproductive Technologies) and was based on the number of ...
Physics confirms sprinters are performing better than ever before
2012-07-02
In this month's Physics World, Steve Haake, director of the Centre for Sports Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK, reveals that the men's 100 m sprint will be one event not to miss this summer.
Haake has developed something called the "performance-improvement index", which uses very simple physics to compare the relative improvement of top athletes in different sports over the last 100 years.
The model shows that the performance-improvement index in the men's 100 m sprint is increasing at a time when those of other events, such as javelin and swimming, ...
An error-eliminating fix overcomes big problem in '3rd-gen' genome sequencing
2012-07-02
Cold Spring Harbor, NY – The next "next-gen" technology in genome sequencing has gotten a major boost.
A quantitative biologist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and collaborators today published results of experiments that demonstrate the power of so-called single-molecule sequencing, which was recently introduced but whose use has so far been limited by technical issues.
The team, led by CSHL Assistant Professor Michael Schatz and Adam Phillippy and Sergey Koren of the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center and the University of Maryland ...
Beyond base pairs: Mapping the functional genome
2012-07-02
Popularly dubbed "the book of life," the human genome is extraordinarily difficult to read. But without full knowledge of its grammar and syntax, the genome's 2.9 billion base-pairs of adenine and thymine, cytosine and guanine provide limited insights into humanity's underlying genetics.
In a paper published in the July 1, 2012 issue of the journal Nature, researchers at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine open the book further, mapping for the first time a significant portion of the functional sequences ...
Rising heat at the beach threatens largest sea turtles, climate change models show
2012-07-02
PHILADELPHIA (July 1, 2012)—For eastern Pacific populations of leatherback turtles, the 21st century could be the last. New research suggests that climate change could exacerbate existing threats and nearly wipe out the population. Deaths of turtle eggs and hatchlings in nests buried at hotter, drier beaches are the leading projected cause of the potential climate-related decline, according to a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change by a research team from Drexel University, Princeton University, other institutions and government agencies.
Leatherbacks, the largest ...
Why chronic pain is all in your head
2012-07-02
CHICAGO --- When people have similar injuries, why do some end up with chronic pain while others recover and are pain free? The first longitudinal brain imaging study to track participants with a new back injury has found the chronic pain is all in their heads –- quite literally.
A new Northwestern Medicine study shows for the first time that chronic pain develops the more two sections of the brain --- related to emotional and motivational behavior --- talk to each other. The more they communicate, the greater the chance a patient will develop chronic pain.
The finding ...
Scripps Research Institute Scientists Develop Alternative to Gene Therapy
2012-07-02
LA JOLLA, CA – July 1, 2012 – Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have discovered a surprisingly simple and safe method to disrupt specific genes within cells. The scientists highlighted the medical potential of the new technique by demonstrating its use as a safer alternative to an experimental gene therapy against HIV infection.
"We showed that we can modify the genomes of cells without the troubles that have long been linked to traditional gene therapy techniques," said the study's senior author Carlos F. Barbas III, who is the Janet and Keith Kellogg II Professor ...
Pitt researchers propose new spin on old method to develop more efficient electronics
2012-07-02
PITTSBURGH—With the advent of semiconductor transistors—invented in 1947 as a replacement for bulky and inefficient vacuum tubes—has come the consistent demand for faster, more energy-efficient technologies. To fill this need, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are proposing a new spin on an old method: a switch from the use of silicon electronics back to vacuums as a medium for electron transport—exhibiting a significant paradigm shift in electronics. Their findings were published online in Nature Nanotechnology July 1.
For the past 40 years, the number of transistors ...
Chronic inflammation in the brain leads the way to Alzheimer's disease
2012-07-02
Research published today in Biomed Central's open access journal Journal of Neuroinflammation suggests that chronic inflammation can predispose the brain to develop Alzheimer's disease.
To date it has been difficult to pin down the role of inflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), especially because trials of NSAIDs appeared to have conflicting results. Although the ADAPT (The Alzheimer`s Disease Anti-inflammatory Prevention Trial) trial was stopped early, recent results suggest that NSAIDs can help people with early stages of AD but that prolonged treatment is necessary ...
