- Photoacoustic ethylene detector online ppt-level detection
Gaseous Molecules Mixing System:
- Ethylene / low oxygen ( N2 ) / CO2 in growth cabinets and desiccators
Light Treatment System:
- R / FR LED boxes
- Light filtering (Lee/Rosco filters)
Photosynthesis Analysis:
- Gas Exchange measurements:
- Leaf Chamber devices for photosynthesis measurements
- Whole Plant devices for photosynthesis measurements
- Portable photosynthesis equipment for measurements on location - Fluorescence Fv / Fm fluorescence capacity of individual leaves
