LI-COR Portable Photosynthesis and Fluorescence System

Using This Equipment

For more information and to utilize this equipment, please contact Michela Centinari.

Equipment full name: LI-COR Inc./LI-6400XT

Description

The LI-6400XT is a gas exchange system that computes photosynthesis from differences in CO₂ and H₂O between in-chamber conditions and pre-chamber conditions. This system provides laboratory quality measurements in a field-portable system.

Features

Gas analyzers are located in the sensor head, minimizing time delays
Measures fluorescence and gas exchange simultaneously over the same leaf area with full control of environmental variables
Measures small photosynthesis rates and CO₂exchange

Example Applications

The instrument can be used in environments ranging from the moist tropics to the dry arctic
Chlorophyll photosynthesis
Grassland photosynthesis
Ecological surveys
Entomology
RespirationThick leaves
Turf
Soil flux
Bryophyte
C₄photosynthesis

Rental Cost includes:

Written standard operating procedures
Training on use, calibration, and maintenance as appropriate (as needed-depends on length of rental period)
