MIRA Ultra N2O/CO, based on Aeris’ revolutionary, miniature laser-based sensor engine, achieves sub-ppb sensitivity and accuracy in seconds. It is the world’s first portable, high accuracy nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide gas analyzer. The Ultra N2O/CO provides extended, low drift performance via its precision temperature and pressure stabilised optical core.
Portable Ultra systems can be uniquely employed for a wide range of fixed, handheld, and mobile applications.
Aeris MIRA Series analyzers operate in the middle infrared (MIR) region, achieving unparalleled specificity and sensitivity in a compact, low power consumption platform. The ability to simultaneously monitor N2O and CO in real-time with a portable analyzer enables a wide range of lab as well as field applications that were previously impractical due to traditional size, weight, power, and cost constraints. Ultra Series analyzers offer performance levels traditionally associated with much larger, more expensive gas analyzers, representing a paradigm shift in high accuracy laser-based gas analysis systems.

Real-Time Ambient and Source Monitoring
CO is an USEPA Priority Pollutant as well as proxy for thermo-genic CO2, while nitrous oxide is the #3 GHG that is produced in combustion processes, livestock operations, and other activities such as soil fertilisation. The MIRA Ultra N2O/CO provides a powerful new tool for lab or field studies of these important species, including regional pollution monitoring (CO) and natural gas leak tracer or soil nitrification studies (N2O).
As an absorption-based method, MIRA Ultra systems achieve high sensitivity and linearity over an extremely wide concentration range. To calibrate or re-zero, Ultra systems come equipped with two programmable sample ports and associated software that enable autonomous calibration (or rezeroing) as well as differential measurements such as in soil chamber studies. For CO, a scrubber can be installed in the analyser to provide high purity zero gas, in most cases eliminating the need for calibration gases or zero gas generators. As the core is heated to 40°C, Ultra systems are ideal for use in humid environments where condensation is of concern.
