Anri Instruments & Controls LCpro+ portable gas exchange system

The LCpro+ is a portable gas exchange system with full environmental control and a graphic display. It is an extended CO₂ range gas exchange system suitable for both plant physiology and soil science. It is available with either a 0-2000 or 0-3000 ppm CO₂ range.

The system provides full automatic and independent control of the environmental conditions within the plant leaf chamber. This includes CO₂, H₂O, temperature and PAR. All environmental control facilities are contained within the single console.

Weighing 5 kg, the system is claimed to be less than half the size and weight of traditional systems. The battery-operated LCpro+ will function continually for up to 16 h from a single charge.

Photosynthesis experiments, such as A/Ci curves and light response curse, can now be easily performed in previously unconsidered field sites. The analysis system is housed directly in the leaf chamber head, ensuring a good response time.

A range of interchangeable leaf chamber heads means that the LCpro+ can be used on the widest possible variety of plant species. An interchangeable soil chamber is also available for field soil respiration experimentation.
