Measurement .

Our Direct Optics product line is designed to address unique measurement challenges faced by customers in the air emissions market.

Reliable, High-Precision Air Quality Measurement

At Direct Optics, we provide cutting-edge solutions for monitoring nitrogen oxides (NO2, NOX, and NO) with accuracy and reliability. Our G60 dual-channel analyzer and PhoNO™ instruments deliver precise measurements to meet regulatory compliance, while our Automated Air Sampler ensures effortless sample collection for both routine monitoring and pollution events. Explore our innovative technologies designed to support your environmental monitoring needs.

Dual-Channel NO2-NOX-NO Analyzer: The Future of Gas Analysis

Our dual-channel analyzer, a CRDS-based instrument, is dedicated to achieving high-precision measurement.

Our patented self-aligned optical cavities allow this instrument to provide direct and continuous measurement of NO2 , NOX and then NO, setting it apart from the competition. The two independent measurement channels provide for simultaneous readings and outputs of NO2 and total NOX . The result? Critical and accurate pollution information at your fingertips.

PhoNOTM – Accurate NO2 Measurement Made Easy

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) regulation is essential for public health and the environment, but inaccurate measurements are common and problematic. Analyzers using Heated Metal Converters (HMC) often overestimate NO2 levels. Our Photolytic Converter (PhoNO) is here to change that.

The Direct Optics PhoNO precisely measures NO2 concentrations and selectively separates them from other nitrates present in the air, eliminating the issue of overestimation.

Environmental Impact:

The Critical Role of Accurate NO₂ Measurement

Our products play a vital role in environmental preservation. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Nitric Oxide (NO), collectively known as NOX, originate primarily from combustion sources, posing a threat to both human health and the environment.

NO2, a potent pollutant, contributes to the formation of ozone (O3), leading to ozone-related issues. It also transforms into Nitric Acid, a key driver of acid rain, impacting water bodies and soil. Accurate NO2 measurement is essential for addressing climate change, formulating air quality policies, and improving emissions modeling. Our innovative solutions are dedicated to achieving these environmental goals.

History

Direct Optics, a subsidiary of Global Analyzer Systems Ltd., was founded with a commitment to advancing air emissions measurement. Through years of research and recognizing the need for a more accurate and efficient way to measure NO2 and NOX, we developed the G60—the first dual-channel CRDS analyzer capable of direct measurement, eliminating the inaccuracies of traditional conversion techniques. Built on our expertise in Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS), the G60 ensures reliable regulatory compliance and supports atmospheric research. This breakthrough provides continuous, real-time data for both regulatory and research applications.
