Product catalog summary
Introduction
The CCM-300 is a lightweight, hand-held device designed for the non-destructive measurement of chlorophyll content in very small leaves and difficult-to-measure samples. It offers a cost-effective solution using advanced fluorescence technology.

Chlorophyll Content Determinations
The CCM-300 employs a chlorophyll fluorescence technique, allowing measurements without the need for the sample to fully cover the measuring area. This makes it suitable for small, curved, or thick samples, including conifers, grasses, small leaves, algae, moss, lichens, fruit, and cactus.

Technical Specifications
  • Measured Parameters: Chlorophyll Fluorescence Ratio (CFR) at 735nm/700nm or relative chlorophyll content in mg m-2.
  • Measurement Area: Fiber optic probe with a 3mm diameter circle.
  • Resolution: Ratio 0.01 or 1mg m-2.
  • Repeatability: Typical ratio 0.03; averaging recommended.
  • Sample Measuring Time: 5 seconds.
  • Noise: <+/- 2%.
  • Source: One LED 460nm blue diode.
  • Detectors: Two solid-state detectors with band limiting filter sets.
  • Data Modes: Single point and 2-30 point average.
  • Storage Capacity: 2Gb non-volatile flash memory.
  • User Interface: 240 x 320 pixel color touch screen.
  • Output: USB 1.1.
  • Operating Temperature Range: 0-50°C.
  • Batteries: 2 x Rechargeable AA batteries.
  • Dimensions: 12 x 9 x 3 cm; Weight: 275g.

Data Management
The device supports single measurements and averaging of 2-30 measurements, with data storage for thousands of results. Data can be reviewed in the field and downloaded via USB.

Scientific Basis
The CCM-300 is based on the work of Gitelson et al. (1999), using the fluorescence ratio at 735nm/700nm to determine chlorophyll content, showing high correlation with traditional chemical assays.

CCM-300 Chlorophyll Content Meter-1

CCM-300 Chlorophyll Content Meter for very small leaves A lightweight hand-held device for the accurate and easy determination of chlorophyll content in very small leaves and difficult to measure intact samples. Non-destructive Accurate and reliable Relative chlorophyll content (mg m-2) Data averaging Touch screen, colour graphic display Hand-held, battery portable Large 2Gb internal memory Chlorophyll content determinations The new CCM-300 is the world’s first cost effective solution for the non-destructive measurement of chlorophyll content in very small leaves and other difficult to measure intact samples. The OSI CCM-200plus has established an outstanding reputation for the accurate and reliable determination of chlorophyll in broad leaves. However the absorption technique employed requires that the measuring area is fully covered by the sample, so restricting its use on many plant species. New fluorescence technology The CCM-300 uses a well established chlorophyll fluorescence technique, where light is absorbed at one wavelength and is re-emitted at a longer wavelength. This technique does not require the measuring aperture to be fully filled, allowing very small leaves, curved leaves and very thick samples to be measured quickly and non-destructively. Recent advances in technology developed for the CCM-300, has significantly reduced the cost of this traditionally expensive technique.

CCM-300 Chlorophyll Content Meter-2

Proven scientific principles The design of the CCM-300 is based on the work of Gitelson* (1999) using the ratio of fluorescence at 735nm/700nm to determine chlorophyll content. Each measurement takes only 5 seconds to perform and is presented as Chlorophyll Fluorescence Ratio (CFR) or as a relative chlorophyll content in mg m-2. There has proven to be a high degree of correlation to traditional chemical assays using this technique. Technical Specifications Measured parameters: Chlorophyll Fluorescence Ratio (CFR) at 735nm/700nm, or relative chlorophyll content in mg m-2 Measurement area: Fiber...
