Reliable, Portable, and Affordable
The LCi-T is a state-of-the-art portable photosynthesis system for researchers studying carbon dioxide assimilation and plant-water relations. Its advanced infrared gas analysis (IRGA) technology ensures high accuracy in photosynthetic rate measurements.
The LCi-T is lightweight, durable, and cost-effective, making it the perfect tool for both field and laboratory studies. As pioneers in gas analysis for plant physiology, ADC BioScientific’s latest version of the LCi devices series is based on decades of expertise, providing unparalleled CO2 assimilation and porometer capabilities.
LED light control for precise PAR regulation
The LCi-T is designed to measure plant gas exchange in ambient conditions. However, some interchangeable chambers are supplied with white or R-G-B LED light units for PAR control. The broad, narrow, and conifer leaf chambers have a detachable LED light unit, ensuring researchers can maintain consistent and controlled PAR during photosynthesis measurements.
PAR control
Adjustable LED light units precisely regulate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), supporting accurate light response studies.
