PSP32 Automated Plant Stress Measuring System

The PSP32 Automated Plant Stress Measuring System revolutionizes plant physiological monitoring with its capability to automatically assess multiple plant stress indicators on up to 32 separate plants simultaneously.

Designed for long-term continuous monitoring, the PSP32 delivers precise, consistent, and automated chlorophyll fluorescence and plant stress measurements under diverse environmental conditions.

How it works

The PSP32 system utilizes advanced pulse-modulated fluorescence technology and automated probes to measure key plant physiological parameters.

It automatically adjusts for daylight and dark-adapted conditions, accurately evaluating chlorophyll fluorescence metrics such as FV/FM, quantum yield (Y(II)), and electron transport rate (ETR).

With customizable scripts and advanced quenching analysis capabilities, the system provides insightful and automated long-term stress monitoring, seamlessly operating in laboratory, greenhouse, or remote field locations.
