GMP80P

GMP80P Portable carbon dioxide probe with pump sampling

Vaisala CARBOCAP® portable carbon dioxide probe with pump sampling GMP80P combines intelligent CO2 measurement with pump-aspirated sampling functionality. This robust and portable measurement device is designed for use in demanding applications, such as life science incubators, where stable, reliable, and accurate performance is required. GMP80P is ideal for CO2 sampling from incubators, spot-checking fixed CO2 transmitters and sampling from areas otherwise difficult to access.

CO2 measurement data can be monitored with the compact Vaisala Indigo80 handheld indicator connected to GMP80P. Indigo80 can be used for short-time logging of measurement data, as well as for calibrating and adjusting GMP80P. 

Features

  • Measurement range 0–20 % CO2
  • Operating temperature range +15 … +40 °C (+59 … +104 °F)
  • Easy CO2 sampling through standard incubator sampling ports
  • Stainless steel pipe and plastic tube options for sampling
  • Compatible with Vaisala Indigo80 handheld indicator and Insight PC software
  • Excellent long-term stability
  • Calibration certificate included
