LI-7810 CH4/CO2/H2O Trace Gas Analyzer

The LI-7810 CH4/CO2/H2O Trace Gas Analyzer offers high performance methane measurements in a durable, portable design. This makes the LI-7810 a great fit for survey or long-term measurements of soil CH4 fluxes.

A combination of several patented technologies with Optical Feedback-Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (OF-CEAS) results in precise and stable CH4 measurements, allowing for extensive use without the need for frequent calibration.

LI-7810 Advantages

  • Connect to the Smart Chamber or the LI-8250 Multiplexer for real-time soil CH4 and CO2 flux data.
  • Benchtop precision combined with a portable, weather resistant design—no elaborate field structures needed.
  • Battery operated with hot-swappable batteries that last 8 hours.
  • Low power requirements: 22 W during steady state operation and up to 90 W during warmup.
