Monitor OCS levels in real-time with sub-ppb sensitivity and accuracy with the world’s first handheld, laser-based OCS analyzer.
The MIRA Pico OCS is a high-accuracy, portable carbonyl sulfide gas analyzer from Aeris Technologies, Inc. The Pico OCS is based on the revolutionary, miniature Aeris laser spectrometer engine that enables ppt-level precision in seconds. The MIRA Pico is the world’s first truly portable, high accuracy laser-based gas analysis platform.
The Pico OCS provides precise and accurate concentrations via the proven method of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. However, Aeris MIRA Series analyzers 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 OCS enables the rapid determination of sub-ppb to ppm levels in seconds. The ability to monitor carbonyl sulfide in real-time opens the door for a wide range of new applications previously impractical due to the size, weight, power, and cost constraints of competing products.

Real-Time OCS Monitoring
The MIRA Pico OCS determines OCS concentrations with high accuracy in real-time, enabling field studies in a range of applications such as soil chamber studies or ambient monitoring. OCS is a known proxy for quantifying photochemically-induced carbon uptake in biological systems. Traditionally, OCS has been measured with more expensive systems that are 10x larger with considerable power requirements, making field measurements difficult or impossible.
As an absorption-based method, Aeris Pico OCS systems achieve high accuracy and linearity over a wide dynamic range. The Pico OCS is the world’s first truly portable, battery powered, high accuracy OCS analyser, enabling lab-quality measurements in a lunchbox-sized instrument. The MIRA Pico OCS represents a game-changing proposition for carbonyl sulfide monitoring.
