Based on a patent, 8070 Air CO2 is a concentrator and purifier of CO2 contained in atmospheric air. Therefore, through its use, it is possible to obtain purified CO2 and introduce it into mass detectors to determine the isotopic ratio δ13C (Iso70) or quantify the content of 14C, a radioactive isotope of carbon.

This unit is based on the production of a high volume of pure CO2 according to the principle of adsorption/desorption, with an innovative purification line that allows the elimination of water, VOC and NOx, leaving only pure CO2.

The 8070 Air CO2 is supplied with a lightweight portable and rechargeable unit, PSM Air CO2, for sampling atmospheric air directly in the field; sample bags/bottles are no longer necessary.

With the new C-Quantum CO2 absorption system, a large amount of carbon dioxide can be treated with an automatic regeneration system, achieving more precise results and higher performance than other systems. The 8070 Air CO2 is particularly suitable for connection to other units to determine the isotope ratios of stable carbon isotopes or radiogenic 14C in a fully automatic way.
