IFL Integrated Fluorometer and Gas Exchange System

 

   

   ADC offers the world's most advanced, combined gas exchange and iFL integrated fluorometer, the current chlorophyll fluorescent system. IFL offers researchers new levels of automation, precision and versatility in a compact and lightweight unit.

Despite its diminished size, the iFL offers plant scientists a research-class photosynthesis system combined with a unique powerful pulse-modulated fluorometer.

A single press of the display can start a few hours of self-testing. For example, a complete Laisk protocol can be performed with post-processing, followed by automated experiments to directly measure gm and Cc containing A / Cc curves. High-power efficient iFL runs continuously for up to 8 hours from a single battery charge.

IFL is the first plant physiology system to measure leaf absorption, leaf permeability and room leakage (Flexas protocol), and automatically correct errors caused by these variable factors.

In addition to providing the "standard" photosynthesis rate, sweating rate, stoma conductivity and intercellular CO2 photosynthesis parameters, the iFL provides additional parameters including:

Γ *: CO2 compensation point
Rd: CO2 breathing in light
(With Laisk, Coke or Yin protocols)
Flexas chamber leak protocol
Leaf absorption
Leaf permeability
gm: Mesophyll conductivity
Cc: CO2 at the carboxylation site
A / Cc curves
J: Electron transport speed
Fluorescence stress tests: Fv / Fm, yield Y (II) with multiflash, quenching tests and fast light curves

​

   The new OS5p +, ADC: is the most advanced addition to the OSI Chlorophyll Fluorometer product range. Weighing only 1.4kg and offering 12 hours of continuous use, the battery-powered OS5p + is tuned to offer new levels of portability and performance for a field pulse modulated fluorometer. Both ambient light and dark adaptation parameters can be determined by OS5p +, including Fo, Fm, Fv / Fm, Fv / Fo, Y (II), Ft, Foq, and Fms. Photochemical and non-photochemical extinction coefficients such as QP, qN and NPQ can be calculated. OS5p + gives researchers exceptional control over each experiment. This includes source density, saturated pulse density, and sampling rate of up to 10,000 samples per second. A 735nm LED as well as a two-channel (660nm / 450nm) modulating light are provided for fod determinations.

Data can be stored on large 1 GB internal memory or on removable SD memory cards that can store thousands of data sets and tracks.

The OS5p + comes standard with an open-body sample clip with PAR and leaf temperature sensors. Yield II (II) varies not only with stress but also with ambient light and leaf temperature levels, so it is important to monitor them throughout your experiment.

When operating in high actinic light environments, the system can improve the accuracy of results using multiple flash Fm correction.

OS5p + has the widest range of extinguishing protocols available in a single unit. These include:

Hendrickson lake model protocol with NPQ
Kramer lake model protocol
Pond model protocol
Extinguishing the relaxation protocol
It is pre-programmed with OS5p + fast light curves to monitor the light absorption properties of the samples. Ideal for canopy or aquatic experiments.

FV / FM Meter The most affordable modulated fluorometer for use with             dark clips

​

 

 

   FV / FM is considered the gold standard for chlorophyll fluorescence measurement because it allows sample comparison in the case of the same known dark adaptation and measurements are generally associated with the measurement of photosynthesis. While healthy values ​​vary between 0.79 and 0.84 species, low FV / FM values ​​indicate that plant stress affects Photosystem II.

For specific results for different types of plant stress measurement, ask for a copy of our Plant Stress Guidelines.

Properties:

Inexpensive dark adaptation clips that allow faster measurement of more statistically significant plant populations.
The dark clips provide the equivalent of a "darkening adaptation measurement before dark" at more reasonable hours of the day. It also allows dark adaptation for shorter periods of time during the day.
Comes standard with 10 dark clips (optional 50 black clip packs available).
The FV / FM track is displayed graphically.
2 GB of memory allows tens of thousands of measurements to be stored.
USB transfer of comma-separated files to Excel or other analysis tools.
The use of an optical probe instead of fiber optics allows Opti-Sciences to significantly reduce the cost of the device without compromising quality.

CCM-300 Chlorophyll Content Meter

 

   CCM-300 is a unique fluorometer set for the measurement of chlorophyll content in samples that are difficult to analyze in a non-destructive manner.

This compact, hand-held instrument measures the ratio between chlorophyll fluorescence at 735nm and 700-710nm. This ratio is linearly proportional to high chlorophyll concentrations up to 675 mg m-2, the coefficient of determination being a detection coefficient higher than r 2 = 0.95.

In both laboratory and field tests, the CCM-300 chlorophyll content counter has proven to be very accurate in measuring chlorophyll concentrations from 41mgm-2 to 675mgm-2.

This new method has many advantages over old suction techniques. These include: -

Samples do not need to fill the measuring cavity, so small samples can be measured.
Samples do not need to allow transmission of the measuring beam, so thick samples can be measured.
Surfaces do not need to be flat, so difficult plant morphologies can be measured.
Kautsky has no induction effect, so measurements can be repeated quickly in the same area.
Small sample area, so that naturally occurring structures such as medium ribs and veins can be avoided.
Higher measuring range (675mg m-2 vs. 300mg m-2 by absorption techniques), so a greater number of samples can be measured.
As a result of the above, ADC users can now measure conifer needles, grass grasses, arabidopsies, immature rice and wheat, algae, bryophytes and lichens, fruit skins, leaf stalks, stems, cacti, agave and algae on rocks. .
