Picarro has signed Sanyo Trading as distributor for its instruments in Japan
Specifically, the scientific instruments business group of Sanyo Trading will sell and service the entire range of Picarro gas and isotope analysers 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 analysers, 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.
"Its 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."
