PAN-CIGAR
PANS CIMS Instrument by Georgia Tech and NCAR

The PAN CIMS instrument developed by Georgia Tech and NCAR (PAN-CIGAR) is an in situ airborne mass spectrometer. It detects seven peroxyacyl nitrate (PAN) species using thermal dissociation chemical ionization mass spectrometry (TD-CIMS). PAN-CIGAR provides simultaneous and semi-continuous measurements of PAN species with a time resolution of 2 seconds. It has a detection limit of approximately 1 pptv per second for most PAN species.
