The Picarro G2201-i isotope analyzer combines capabilities of two Picarro δ13C carbon isotope instruments for CO2 and CH4 into a single instrument. Now it’s easy and fast to capture the insights that only stable isotope ratios offer. Researchers can follow carbon as it moves from source to sink with a single instrument. The dual-purpose analyzer brings simplicity and speed to research. Its small size and robustness make it easy to transport to the field, where immediate results allow researchers to change course on-the-fly and achieve optimal results from limited-time field campaigns.
• Only field-deployable analyzer for simultaneous high-precision δ13C measurements in CO2 and CH4
• Three measurement modes: CO2 only, CH4 only, and CO2 and CH4 combined
• Excellent precision at a fraction of IRMS operating cost—less calibration, less maintenance, no consumables
The analyzer operates in one of three modes: 1) CO2 only, 2) CH4 only, and 3) CO2 and CH4 combined. In the combined mode, the measurement of CO2 and CH4 are interleaved every few seconds to produce a sampling rate that is faster than the gas turn-over time in the cavity. When the analyzer is in CO2 only mode or CH4 only mode, the precision improves, because more time is devoted to one molecule. In all modes, the analyzer precisely measures CO2, H2O and CH4 concentrations, with fewer calibration events than other spectral absorption-based instruments. The G2201-i analyzer can be paired with a variety of peripherals to extend and expand functionality.
PICARRO G2201-i in Thailand
The Picarro G2201-i is a carbon isotope analyzer that measures δ13C in both CO2 and CH4 from one transportable instrument, and Thai Unique supplies and supports it for research laboratories in Thailand.

Where the carbon isotope analyzer is used in Thailand
Based on the specifications above, the G2201-i suits laboratories that
- Need to trace carbon from its source to its sink by measuring δ13C in CO2 and CH4 with one analyzer instead of two
- Work on field campaigns with limited time and want results on site so they can adjust their sampling plan as the work goes on
- Want to switch between CO2-only, CH4-only and combined CO2 and CH4 modes, and pick a single gas when precision matters most
- Want CO2, H2O and CH4 concentrations recorded with the isotope data, with less calibration and maintenance and no consumables
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
Can the G2201-i measure carbon isotopes in CO2 and CH4 at the same time?
Yes. In combined mode it switches between CO2 and CH4 every few seconds, and the CO2-only or CH4-only mode gives better precision because it spends all its time on one gas; to discuss your application, talk to the Thai Unique team.
Why buy PICARRO G2201-i 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 analyzer 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.
