Photosynthesis & Chlorophyll Fluorescence

CIRAS-4 Enhancing the high-level field research experience

CIRAS-4 Portable Photosynthesis System

CIRAS-4 Portable Photosynthesis &
Chlorophyll Fluorescence System

APPLICATIONS

*Chlorophyll fluorescence & photosynthesis can be measured simultaneously.

The demands of high-level field research have changed. Researchers have a lot of data to collect and analyze and not a lot of time. True portability, speed, and accuracy are key.

  • The CIRAS-4 is the fastest and most accurate mobile system for simultaneous leaf gas exchange & chlorophyll fluorescence measurement.
  • The CIRAS-4’s small system volume is optimized for high-level field performance.
  • You have full control of CO2, H2O, temperature & light
  • Perform rapid A/Ci curves in minutes with our innovative high-speed CO2 ramping technique

Data your way

Taking advantage of the CIRAS-4’s large, full-color touch display and intuitive menu system, users enjoy the freedom of presenting and monitoring their leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence data in the format that best suits their needs.

Measuring leaf gas exchange?

PLC4 Leaf Cuvettes are lightweight (under 1 kg each) and offer an even wider range of temperature control. Head plates are secured in place by magnets for quick and easy change out in the lab or field.  Learn more…

Ultra-fast A/Ci curves!

Watch the simple steps to creating A-Ci curves with the CIRAS-4 in minutes. Now that there is no longer a need to define a response script for a ramp test in the CIRAS-4, the process is faster and more streamlined than ever. Learn more…

Monitor locally & remotely

Monitoring measurements locally and remotely is easy with the CIRAS-4 Portable Photosynthesis System. Simply clamp your leaf into the cuvette, start your measurement and follow it in real-time on your PC or tablet! Learn more…
