The intelligent portable photosynthesis system • True field portability • Fully programmable environmental control • Miniaturised analyser in chamber head • Graphic display • Advanced data capture and output capabilities • Wide range of experimental applications • Sophisticated research within your budget Because for fieldwork you need truly portable instrumentation Introducing LCpro-SD the latest generation of truly field portable photosynthesis systems developed and manufactured by ADC Bio

Hasan Maral, from Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University, Turkey using the LCpro+ for oat field trials. Unparalleled portability For over forty years, ADC’s name has been synonymous with plant physiology and a world leader in plant gas exchange technology. During this time ADC has been at the forefront of technological development designed to make photosynthesis systems evermore portable and easy to use. Today the LCpro-SD confirms our “leaders in portability’ status. The LCpro-SD is the smallest, lightest and most user-friendly gas exchange system with microclimate control ever developed. New...

Miniaturised analyser in chamber head LCpro-SD enhanced gas exchange performance The new LCpro-SD provides researchers with several enhancements in gas exchange performance compared to previous generations of the LCpro photosynthesis series. These include: For over four decades ADC have been world leaders in the design and manufacture of infrared gas analysers (IRGA). During this time ADC has constantly been an advocate of ultilising the open mode of operation, a technique now accepted within the scientific community as the most accurate and versatile operating system for photosynthesis...

Complete environmental control as standard The LCpro-SD provides complete and automatic environmental control within the chamber head as standard. All environmental control facilities are contained within a single compact and lightweight console. Environmental parameters may be controlled at single or multiple concentrations. A single or combination of parameters may be controlled at any one time. The LCpro-SD internal battery powers all environmental control facilities. These controls have been specially designed using low power consumption components so maximising battery life. There is...

PAR control A lightweight, mixed Red/Blue LED array provides reliable, sequential control of light between 0-2000 µmols. The unit is designed to closely replicate the PAR spectrum evenly throughout the leaf chamber window. The use of a low power consumption LED array ensures that spectral quality is maintained over the whole intensity range with absolute minimal or no heating. A micro PAR sensor measures the light emitted from the LED array onto the leaf surface. The LCpro-SD can be easily programmed to generate automated light response curves. To ensure the optimal light control on the...

Unlimited data storage The LCpro-SD features unlimited data storage. All experimental protocols, photosynthesis data and calculations are stored on easily exchangeable Secure Digital (SD) cards. Use of these widely available cards allows separate cards to be used for individual users or for specific experimental applications. Data recording can be initiated both automatically and manually. Automatic data recording can be programmed to take place as part of a simple or detailed experiment, such as an A/Ci curve. Alternatively manual recordings can be made either via the keypad or the button...

Interchangeable chamber heads The LCpro-SD is available with an expanded range of interchangeable heads for the widest range of experimental applications. These chambers are easily and quickly exchanged by hand in the field. Boundary layer resistances and concentration gradients are minimised irrespective of which head is in use. Chamber materials have been carefully chosen to ensure that there is minimal interaction with CO2 or water vapour. Chamber windows are silica coated to reduce scratching. On fitting, each chamber is autoconfigurable, removing the requirement for complex...
