Monitor Ethylene Oxide levels in real-time with sub-ppb sensitivity using the world’s first handheld, laser-based Ethylene Oxide gas analyzer. The Pico ETO is based on Aeris’ revolutionary, miniature laser-based sensor engine, which achieves sub-ppb sensitivity and accuracy in seconds. The MIRA Pico is the World’s first truly portable, high accuracy gas analysis platform.
The Pico ETO provides precise and accurate concentrations via the proven method of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS). However, Aeris MIRA Series analysers uniquely operate in the middle infrared (MIR) region, achieving unparalleled specificity and sensitivity in a compact, low power consumption platform. The distinct, middle infrared “fingerprint” used in the Pico ETO enables the rapid determination of sub-ppb to ppm levels in seconds. The ability to simultaneously monitor EtO in real-time with a portable analyzer enables a wide range of field applications previously impractical due to the size, weight, power, and cost constraints of other technologies.
Key Features:
- Real-time, sub-ppb/s sensitivity

- Built-in wifi, RS-232, and optional analog out
- Lowest, 15W power consumption
- Maintenance-free sensor core
- User-serviceable filters
- Built-in 6hr battery, built-in sampling pump
- Compact, 2.75kg Lab-In-a-BoxTM.
Real-Time Ambient and Source EtO Monitoring
EtO is a suspect carcinogen that is widely used to make antifreeze, adhesives, detergents, polyester, fumigants and pesticides, and sterilisation agents for medical equipment. The USEPA has concluded that chronic EtO inhalation at even trace levels is associated with lymphoid and breast cancers, and new regulations are going into effect that drastically reduce target exposure levels. The MIRA Pico EtO provides high accuracy, ppt-level measurements in real-time, enabling new ambient and source monitoring applications. In addition to high sensitivity and accuracy, MIRA Pico systems also provide linearity over an extremely wide concentration range. The Pico EtO comes with two programmable sampling ports, enabling differential measurements including periodic zeroing of the analyzer. A catalytic filter can be used on one of the Pico ports to provide a clean “zero” gas that effectively removes instrument drift to achieve ppt-level accuracy. Pico EtO systems are uniquely configurable to span fixed, handheld, mobile, or drone applications.
