Provisional announcement Multi-sample soil respiration system ADC Bioscientific Ltd., world leaders in laboratory soil respiration instrumentation for 25 years, introduces the next generation of multi-sample analysis systems + Dual CO2/H2O analysis + Up to 24 soil samples + Accurate and proven technology + Fully programmable + Compact and fully integrated + Flow to all channels at all times + SD card data storage and USB output ADC BioScientific: leaders in soil flux instrumentation For over 25 years ADC has been synonymous with high quality soil flux instrumentation, in the laboratory and in the field. Throughout this period ADC has been the world leader in developing and manufacturing multi-sample analysis systems, where a number of soil samples may be multiplexed to, and measured by, a single CO2 analyser. These systems have traditionally featured a highly accurate CO2 Infra Red Gas Analyser (IRGA), such as the “legendary” ADC225 together with a separate gas multiplexing unit. Compact and fully integrated ADC BioScientific Ltd now introduces the EGA60, the next generation of multi-sample analysis systems. The EGA60 is a fully integrated system, featuring an accurate and reliable CO2 analyser, combined with a versatile gas multiplexer in one compact unit. The EGA60 is designed for measurements during long-term, continuous experiments. The new, fully integrated EGA60 is easy to install and significantly reduces experimental set up times compared to earlier systems. Analysis of up to 24 soil samples A single EGA60 system can sequentially analyse up to 24 soil samples. The EGA60 is available with 10, 15, 20 or 25 channels. One channel being reserved for a zero column. Fully programmable ADC has a reputation for developing the world’s easiest to use gas exchange systems. The EGA60 has been designed to be the most user-friendly soil respiration system ever. Complete functionality is achieved with just 5 keys driving a series of menus. No separate “bolt on” PC or laptop is required. Sampling times of individual channels can be set together with total experimental times. Constant flow maintains sample integrity Flow in each channel may be automatically programmed. Importantly a constant flow is maintained around the system to all sample channels, at all times. This ensures that the integrity of each sample is preserved by preventing the build up of high CO2 concentrations within any sample c

Integral data storage The EGA60 provides integral data storage on interchangeable SD cards, each capable of storing many hundreds of thousands of data points. Provisional Specification* Measurement range and technique: CO2: 0-2000ppm, 1ppm resolution Infrared gas analysis Data may be downloaded to a PC directly from the SD cards or via a USB port. Determination of soil biomass The EGA60 can be configured to measure soil respiration from a variety of columns or chambers, whether your application is soil ecology or a soil treatment application. Data provided by the EGA60 can subsequently be...
