The Combustion Module (A0201), designed for Picarro by Costech Analytical (NC Technologies), combusts solid and liquid samples with carbon contents as low as 250 µg. When paired with a Picarro isotopic analyzer (e.g. G2131-i), the Picarro Combustion Module CM-CRDS (A0201) system analyzes the carbon isotopic (δ13C) composition of samples in applications such as food authenticity and safety, plant biology, soil analysis, green chemistry compliance and vector control in public health.
- The CM-CRDS system can automatically process up to 148 samples at a rate of one sample every 10 minutes.
- The precision of the system is better than 0.3%
- Control and data recording are managed by software on the Picarro analyzer.
The CM-CRDS provides measurement accuracy and precision comparable to elemental analyzer isotope ratio mass spectroscopy (EA-IRMS), and it offers several advantages over EA-IRMS, including:
- Significantly lower capital cost for the system
- Much simpler operation that does not require extensive training
- Less frequent calibration and lower cost of maintenance
- Lower cost of consumables required for operations
- Greater automation and higher throughput
PICARRO CM (A0201) in Thailand
The CM (A0201) from Picarro is a carbon isotope combustion module that Thai Unique supplies and supports in Thailand, preparing solid and liquid samples by combustion so a paired Picarro isotopic analyzer can read their δ13C composition.

Where the carbon isotope combustion module is used in Thailand
Based on the specifications above, the CM (A0201) suits laboratories that:
- Need to check food authenticity and safety by reading the δ13C fingerprint of solid or liquid samples holding as little as 250 µg of carbon.
- Work in plant biology, soil study, green chemistry compliance or public-health vector control, where carbon isotope ratios answer the research question.
- Want unattended batch work, with up to 148 samples handled automatically at one sample every 10 minutes.
- Need precision better than 0.3% and results on a par with EA-IRMS, without the training, calibration frequency and consumable demands that mass spectrometry brings.
Service and support in Thailand
An analytical instrument does not end at delivery. Thai Unique supports yours from within the country.
- Installation and calibration — our engineers install the system, run performance verification and calibrate it for your actual workload
- Scheduled preventive maintenance — year-round cover under a Service Contract, with costs you can budget for
- Repairs with genuine spare parts — experienced technicians using original components from the manufacturer
- Operator training — classroom and hands-on training on your own instrument
- Sample testing and method verification — we run your real samples and verify the method before you commit
Frequently asked questions
Does the CM (A0201) run on its own, or does it need a Picarro analyzer with it?
It acts as a front end rather than a stand-alone instrument: the module combusts the sample, while a paired Picarro isotopic analyzer such as the G2131-i measures the δ13C composition and handles control and data recording through its own software. Our Thai Unique team can confirm the right analyzer pairing for your sample types.
Why buy PICARRO CM (A0201) from Thai Unique rather than direct from the manufacturer?
Because the people who look after it are here. Installation, calibration, scheduled maintenance, repairs with genuine parts and operator training are all handled by our team in Thailand, without routing every request overseas.
Can we test our own samples before deciding?
Yes. Our sample testing and method verification service runs your real samples so you can see the results this carbon isotope combustion module gives on your workload before you buy.
How much does it cost, and how do we request a quotation?
Pricing depends on the configuration, accessories and the scope of work in your laboratory. Tell our sales team what you need to analyse and how many samples you run per day, and we will propose a configuration together with lead time and service terms.
