"We've already seen strong international demand for trace gas analysers based on our unique WS-CRDS (wavelength-scanned cavity ring down spectroscopy) technology," states Michael Woelk, Picarro CEO.
"With Helio and Nobu in place, we'll be able to fully capitalise on that demand, as well as develop new markets in those territories."
