ICOS-CAL

Developement

Hard- and software development of scientific instruments and equipment

Complete development of own devices solutions and specific extensions

  • Hardware development (CAD design, electronic layout, material selection, manufacturing and assembly)
  • Software development (control, procedure, documentation)
  • Implementation and review

Examples of our development tasks:

  • Flask Sampler (fully automated and standardized air sampling)
  • Air Dryer (continuously and automatically running sample air dryer)
  • CO2 isotope mass spectrometer extension for automated high precision measurements of a large number of samples
  • O2/N2 mass spectrometer extension for automated high precision measurements of a large number of samples
  • PCB design for own control and measurement solutions
  • Intake line purging pump
  • Flask valve tester (for quality assurance after flask production)
  • Flask leak tester
  • Flask conditioning oven
  • Relaxed Eddy Accumulation (REA) system
  • ARAMIS (preparing CO2-in-air reference material from carbonates)
  • Flasks and Flask caps (in cooperation)
