An increasingly urgent need, measuring ambient levels of CO2 is a requirement of many applications. Frequently requested applications involve bio-enclosures or carbon capture/release media. There are many types of carbon mitigation including physical, chemical, and biological. Of particular interest in the biological realm is the role of microalgae. Microalgae are able to use natural sunlight as energy for CO2 fixation with high photosynthetic efficiency that is 10–50 times higher than terrestrial plants. [1] The Model 906E is used to measure CO2 0-2000ppm extremely accurately (+/- 10ppm).
