Geotech Release: New Incubator CO2 Analyser Meets Researched User Demands

From independent research among users, Geotech has designed its new G100 incubator CO2 analyser. The G100 is an easy-to-use, handheld CO2 analyser with increased accuracy in the 0-20 percent range and a bright, easily read display. Readings are stable thanks to inbuilt moisture removal. Timesaving twin-probes check incubator top and bottom temperatures and difference simultaneously. Increased memory holds 1000 readings. Options include O2 and/or RH analysis, temperature probes, data logging, and USB-link software to download data, analyse and export it – and to enable Internet file exchange with Geotech technical and customer support. The fully functional G100 is priced from £1000 (+VAT in UK) and is available from: www.geotech.co.uk

Research has ensured the G100 analyser is fully operable and configurable from its keypad and screen. Routine, back-to-factory service and re-calibration is recommended once a year. When due, the analyser displays a time-for-service warning but continues to work normally.

An optional ‘USB-link cable and G100 software package’ supports PC and Internet connectivity. This enables data download to a PC of the event log, user calibration and the data set for analysis, graphing, secure archiving and, if necessary, exporting to spreadsheet, word processors or e-mails. To assist users anywhere in the world, the USB-PC link and G100 software allow user settings also to be downloaded as a PC file and e-mailed to Geotech for technical support and troubleshooting. This assists remote diagnostics and service support worldwide avoiding unnecessary return to factory. It also helps ensure continued use and minimal downtime and limits time-zone lag. If necessary, the analyser firmware can be ‘flashed’ with a new Geotech software release, via website downloaded, for continuous improvement.

UK Design, Assembly and Export Success

This new product is also a UK design, assembly and export success story. For this £300K development, Geotech designers identified the best components and most economic sourcing from around the world. Sub-assemblies are made in the UK, most close to Geotech’s Leamington Spa, Midlands base. From there, seventy-five percent of the completed high-value analysers go for export.
