Additional Chambers for LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis & Fluorescence System

6800-18 Aquatic Chamber

 

The 6800-18 Aquatic Chamber is used to measure steady-state carbon assimilation and chlorophyll a fluorescence from an algal suspension using the LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System, the preferred photosynthesis system for terrestrial plant research.

Small Plant Chamber/Whole Plant Studies

 

The Small Plant Chamber (6800-17) enables the measurements of whole Arabidopsis thaliana plants, other small rosettes, or short canopies such as turf in 65 mm (2.5 inch) pots or 38 mm (1.5 inch) Cone-tainers™. The Small Plant Chamber features a transparent Propafilm™ for measurements under ambient light. It is compatible with the Large Light Source, which enables measurements under controlled lighting with any combination of red, green, blue and white light.

Bryophyte Chamber

 

The Bryophyte Chamber (6800-24) is used to measure CO2 and H2O gas exchange from mosses, hornworts, liverworts, and lichens. The chamber holds loose material in a shallow well during the measurement. It features a clear Propafilm™ top for measurements under ambient lighting conditions. It is compatible with the Large Light Source for measurements under controlled lighting with any combination of red, green, blue, and white light.

Fruit Respiration Studies -Custom Chamber Adapter

 

The Custom Chamber Adapter (6800-19) allows you to construct a chamber to meet your needs. The custom chamber kit includes the adapter and hardware, tube connectors, and a template to provide guidance for interface between the custom chamber and adapter.

Insect Respiration Chamber

 

The Insect Respiration Chamber (6800-89) provides the ability to measure CO2 respiration from insects, other very small animals, or small fruits. The LI-6800 directs conditioned air through the insect respiration chamber and computes a flux based on the differential concentrations between reference and sample gas analyzers. Respiration is computed on the basis of mass, providing a measure of CO2 exchange per unit of mass over time. The Insect Respiration Chamber includes the Custom Chamber Adapter.
