SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 14 CA-Picarro
SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Picarro has signed the Sanyo
Trading Co., Ltd. as a distributor for their instruments in Japan.
Specifically, the Scientific Instruments Business Group of Sanyo Trading will
sell and service the entire range of Picarro gas and isotope analyzers for
environmental applications, including greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4 and H2O)
detection, and process control uses, such as NH3, HF and H2S monitoring,
"There is a substantial demand for trace gas analysis in Japan that we
haven't been able to adequately satisfy," states Yoshimasa Matsumoto, Director
and Executive Officer, Scientific Instruments Business Group of Sanyo Trading.
"This is because the instruments previously available to us do not deliver the
combination of data quality and operational characteristics that the market
requires. In contrast, the Picarro gas analyzers, which employ WS-CRDS
(Wavelength-Scanned Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy) technology, offer superior
data as well as simplicity, ruggedness and compact size. For example,
Picarro's implementation of WS-CRDS virtually eliminates interference from
non-target gases and instrument drift, enabling these sensitive instruments to
run unattended for months at a time."
"We're very pleased that Sanyo Trading chose to represent Picarro after
carefully evaluating all the competitive products currently available," notes
Michael Woelk, President and CEO of Picarro. "Their well established sales
capabilities, together with the technological advantages of our WS-CRDS
instrumentation, should prove to be a winning combination in the Japanese
market."
Picarro, Inc. is a privately held company dedicated to developing
instrumentation for the highest sensitivity, precision and accuracy
measurements of specific molecules of interest in environmental analyses,
process monitoring, and emissions control. The company is a leader in
wavelength scanned cavity ring down spectroscopy (WS-CRDS) technology with
eight exclusive licenses from Stanford University patents and nine of its own
on WS-CRDS extensions. Visit us at http://www.picarro.com.
