Ambient Ozone Monitors
The Model 202 Ozone Monitor is designed to enable accurate and precise (±1.5 ppb) measurements of ozone ranging from a few ppb to 250,000 ppb (0-250 ppm) based on the well-established technique of UV absorbance at 254 nm. The Model 202 is lightweight (5.5 lb, 2.5 kg) and has a power consumption of only ~7 watts. It can be used in almost any application where much larger ozone monitors have been used in the past and in many environments where measurements using traditional ozone monitors are impossible. Flash card memory and a quiet, long-life internal air pump are now standard on the Model 202. The Model 202 has been certified by the EPA as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM): EQOA-0410-190. The Model 202 has been used for the past decade in ozone monitoring networks of the U.S. National Park Service and National Forest Service. It also is widely used by NOAA, EPA, Environment Canada and the British Antarctic Survey for studies of ground-level ozone.

The Model 205 Dual Beam Ozone Monitor™ was designed for even higher precision and faster response time than our popular Model 202. Data may be output as frequently as every 2 seconds, making it ideal for vertical profiling using balloons or aircraft measurements where high temporal resolution is required. For a given averaging time, the Model 205 has a higher precision (better than 1 ppb for 10 s averaging) and a more stable baseline than the Model 202. The Model 205 has all of the features of the Model 202 single beam instrument, including a real time clock; averaging times of 10 s, 1 min, 5 min and 1 h; an internal data logger; and serial and analog data outputs. Flash card memory and a long-life, quiet internal air sampling pump are now standard on the instrument. The Model 205 Ozone Monitor has been designated as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) by the EPA (EQOA-0410-190).

2B Tech has taken the next step in miniaturization of UV-based ozone monitors by developing the Personal Ozone Monitor or "POM." The POM has dimensions of 4 x 3 x 1.5 inches and weighs only 0.75 lb. (340 g). It has a built in GPS so that ozone measurements may be logged continuously along with geographic location. Like all of our ozone instruments, the measurement is based on UV absorbance. It does NOT use a solid-state or electrochemical sensor, both of which are prone to interferences and baseline drift. By folding the optical path in the shape of a "U," it was possible to achieve the same path length in the POM as in the Models 202, 205, and 106-L and thus have similar precision and accuracy (~1.5 ppb). The POM is ideal for personal ozone exposure studies and health and safety monitoring in workplaces where ozone is produced. The US EPA has designated the POM as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM): EQOA–0815–227.

Ozone Monitors for the Ozone Industry
The Model UV-106-W Aqueous Ozone Monitor™ uses our patented MicroSparge™ technology to measure dissolved ozone in either dirty or clean water. Unlike conventional dissolved ozone monitors, the instrument does NOT make use of a membrane that will foul over time. Instead, dissolved ozone is measured by sparging (bubbling) of ~2 mL of water with ozone-scrubbed ambient air and integrating the gas-phase concentration of ozone stripped from solution. Because ozone is measured in the gas phase, there are no interferences from particles and dissolved inorganic or organic compounds.

NO, NO2 and NOx Monitors
The Model 405 nm NO2/NO/NOx Monitor™ measures nitrogen dioxide (NO2) directly by absorbance at 405 nm using a patented folded cell with corner mirrors to achieve a ~2-meter path length. Nitric oxide (NO) is measured by modulating the addition of ozone to quantitatively convert NO to NO2. This new instrumental approach has the advantages over chemiluminescence of being an absolute method and of requiring much less power, enabling portable measurements of NO2, NO and NOx. SD card data logging is now a standard feature.
The Model 405 nm NO2/NO/NOx Monitor is designated as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) for NO2 compliance monitoring (EQNA-0217-243) and is TUV-certified (QAL1) under European standards EN14211 and EN15267 (certificate 0000062070). More Info Request Quote |
Black Carbon Photometer
The Black Carbon Photometer™ (BCP™) is a rugged, portable, highly accurate and economical instrument for the direct measurement of atmospheric black carbon particulates in polluted urban environments, without the need for preconcentration. The BCP uses the simple and direct technique of long-path photometry at two wavelengths (405 nm and 880 nm) to quantify—in real time—the total extinction and mass concentrations of particulates in the aerosol (gas + particle) phase. This direct approach avoids the artifacts and other issues associated with current commercially available instruments, such as the most common current technique of aethalometry that uses filters to preconcentrate samples for analysis. The detection cell of the Black Carbon Photometer has a folded tubular design, a patented innovation that enables highly sensitive and fast measurements of black carbon in a compact, rack-mount sized instrument. The Black Carbon Photometer is useful for researchers studying the role of black carbon in air quality and climate, and for air quality managers interested in estimating community exposure risks.
