CCM200 plus chlorophyll content meter, now with integral GPS

The hugely popular CCM200 plus chlorophyll content meter is now available with built in GPS module.
For a limited time, the CCM200 plus can be purchased with integral GPS at no extra cost. All that we ask in return, is for you to complete a brief survey on the features, performance and usefulness of the GPS module.
This is a limited offer for the next ten units sold. Measurement locations and number of satellites used to obtain the location are stored with your chlorophyll content readings in the memory, for later download via the USB port.
After this limited offer, the GPS version of the CCM200 plus will be sold at a significantly higher price than the standard unit.

£ 2000 GBP toward ADC products and services.
2) 4 great photographs (whether clear, artistic or funny!) will be awarded with the choice of a 10” Android tablet device or a £ 500 GBP monetary voucher toward ADC products and services.
3) Every entry will go into a prize draw for 1 of 5, 128GB memory sticks/pen drives.

How to enter: Please email sales@adc.co.uk with your contact details, attach your high resolution photographs in .JPEG or .eps file format (as high resolution as possible). Please also include a short explanation of your application, e.g. location and how you used the ADC device.
Entry deadline: We will accept entries until Thursday 4th July 2019.
Date of Prize Draw: Winners will be chosen and names will be drawn on Monday 8th July 2019, our official 50th! Winners will be contacted soon after.

LCi T photosynthesis system

New LCi T Accessible Photosynthesis System

ADC is pleased to announce the introduction of their latest upgrade to the extremely popular LCi series photosynthesis systems.
Building on the hugely successful LCi-SD, the LCi T adds new levels of versatility and performance.

The new LCi T system benefits from the addition of a large, colour, touch screen display, multiparameter graphing, RGB and white LED light sources which are programmable from the console, GPS for precise altitude, latitude and longitude coordinates and software programming for automated A/Q curves.
Despite the addition of the above features, the console weighs only 2.4kg and the system will run for 12 hours on the internal, rechargeable battery.

New photosynthesis system with colour touch screen display

ADC Bioscientific Ltd., is proud to launch their most sophisticated photosynthesis system yet.

Broad leaf chamber and LED light source.

The LCpro T is based on the hugely successful LCpro-SD system and has added a large colour, touch screen display, Li-ion battery, GPS location data, improved elevated CO2 control, faster software programming, multi parameter graphing, RGB or white LED light sources and downloadable graphs. All in a more portable, lightweight configuration.

NEW. A compact and affordable solution to Yield Y(II) measurements.

This compact and light-weight modulated fluorometer follows proven and established scientific principles to provide accurate measurements of the quantum yield of PS(II).
This tiny, hand-held meter also measures absorptance to provide the most accurate ETR values possible.

The Y(II) meter follows the advanced protocols determined by Loriaux (2006) to determine the maximum theoretical level of Fm’ with an infinitely intense saturating pulse.
Thousands of datasets can be stored in the 2Gb of on-board memory and a high speed USB is provided to download readings to a computer.

Cost effective multi-channel CO2/H2O analysis

EGA60

ADC has just launched its latest, automatic, multi-channel CO2 and H2O analysis system.

Up to 24 samples can be sequentially analysed with the EGA60. Each channel can be configured with its own flow rate and sampling time, prior to analysis.

Flow is maintained to all channels, at all times, so the samples are maintained in a constant atmosphere. Channel number, flow rate, CO2/H2O concentrations and analogue input values are all stored on the integral SD memory card for later analysis.

New LED light unit for LCi-SD

The PLU5 is a lightweight and compact white LED light source for use with the LCi ultra compact photosynthesis system.
The light unit can provide up to 2,000umol of cool, white light at the leaf plane. A separate control unit allows researchers to maintain or adjust the light level to the required intensity.
The light system is powered from the LCi console and so no extra power source or battery is required.
The use of low power LEDs means that the spectral quality of the light is maintained over the whole intensity range.
The PLU5 is suitable for all LCi chambers built since July 2001

New iFL Integrated Fluorometer

ADC launch the world’s most advanced, truly portable, combined gas exchange/chlorophyll fluorescence system.

Now, for the first time, researchers are able to make simultaneous measurements of photosynthesis, transpiration, intercellular CO2, stomatal conductance, mesophyll conductance and CO2 at the site of carboxylation.

The iFL offers levels of automation never seen before. Experiments such as Laisk protocols, may be performed automatically without user intervention. Simply set up your experiment, touch the screen and leave the iFL to do the rest.
