How it works

The MPM-100 measures pigment content through dual methods — fluorescence and transmittance.

Fluorescence: Measured by exciting specific pigments at defined wavelengths and detecting emitted light.

Transmittance: Chlorophyll content is measured using transmittance at red and infrared wavelengths.

User-defined formulas calculate precise pigment concentrations, ensuring flexibility and accuracy for a variety of samples and research objectives.

Versions available

Standard MPM-100 (CCI)

The standard MPM-100 measures chlorophyll content in Chlorophyll Content Index (CCI) units, along with anthocyanin content, flavonol content, and Nitrogen Flavonol Index (NFI).

MPM-100/S (SPAD)

The MPM-100/S offers chlorophyll measurements equivalent to the SPAD-502 meter.
