5-Gas Analyzers
Nova Analytical’s 5-Gas Analyzer is specially engineered to help users monitor engine exhaust emissions for everything from diesel and gasoline engines to propane and natural gas engines. Their compact and portable design allows you to provide on-the-spot analysis of emissions in virtually any setting with exceptional speed and efficiency. The Nova 5-Gas Analyzer can be used to monitor CO, CO2, HC, O2, NOx, and can also be easily configured to detect sulfur dioxide (SO2).
The Nova 5-Gas Analyzer offers highly accurate results and detailed analysis of the gas composition of engine exhaust. It incorporates highly sensitive electrochemical sensors that quickly detect O2, CO, NO, NO2, and SO2 presence in the exhaust sample. With a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, you can rely on the Nova 5-Gas Analyzer to provide speedy, consistent analysis for up to 8 hours of continuous operation. The analyzer can even be used while it is recharging, so you never have to worry about downtime.

Applications of a 5-Gas Analyzer
Most 5-gas analyzers are used for automotive engine emissions testing. Automotive 5-gas analyzers allow automotive manufacturers, industrial facilities, and inspectors to ensure compliance with increasingly stringent emissions standards. Applications that benefit from the Nova 5-Gas Analyzer include:
- Commercial vehicle emission measurement
- Engines used in biogas and landfill operations
- Car or truck engine emission measurement
- Tractor engine emission measurement
- Forklift engine emission measurement
- Heavy equipment emission measurement
What Sensor Types Are Used in a 5-Gas Analyzer?
The Nova 5-Gas Analyzer uses the latest sensor technology to provide superior results with exceptional speed. Our state-of-the-art design incorporates both electrochemical and infrared sensors to provide in-depth elemental analysis of a variety of emissions.
Electrochemical Sensors
Electrochemical sensors are used to monitor the concentration of O2, CO(ppm), NO, NO2, and SO2 in a gas sample. The gas sample is exposed to an electrical current, which causes a chemical reaction. The reaction releases a positive or negative charge that can be detected via sensors and analyzed to determine the content of the sample.
Infrared Sensors
Infrared gas sensors are used to measure the presence of hydrocarbons, CO(%), and CO2 in a sample. A beam of infrared light is directed through the gas sample onto a sensor. Certain molecules in the sample absorb infrared energy. The sensor detects the infrared energy and analyzes the amount of energy lost to determine the amount of hydrocarbon, CO, and CO2 in the emission.
