Product catalog summary
Overview: The ACM-200 plus Anthocyanin Content Meter is a device designed for the non-destructive measurement of anthocyanin content in plant leaves and flowers. It is particularly useful for monitoring changes in anthocyanin levels over time, which can enhance plant pest protection and photoprotection.
Applications: The meter is used in studies involving various plant species, including Sugar maples and Hibiscus, and is beneficial for research that requires reliable and fast estimates of anthocyanin content without damaging the samples.
Features: The device is lightweight and handheld, optimized for fieldwork, and includes built-in data logging with a storage capacity of up to 160,000 measurements. It features a USB output for easy data transfer and operates independently without the need for a PC.
Technical Specifications: The ACM-200 plus measures optical absorbency in two wave bands (530 nm and 931 nm) and compensates for leaf thickness. It has a measurement area of a 2 3/8” diameter circle and uses a silicon photodiode for absorptance measurement. The device operates within a temperature range of 0-50°C and is powered by a 9V alkaline battery.
Advantages: The meter provides a non-destructive alternative to traditional laboratory methods, which are time-consuming and require sample destruction. It allows for repeated measurements over the life cycle of the plant, facilitating cost-effective monitoring of anthocyanin trends.
Conclusion: The ACM-200 plus is a reliable and efficient tool for researchers studying anthocyanin content, offering significant advantages over traditional methods in terms of speed, ease of use, and non-destructive measurement capabilities.

ACM-200 plus Anthocyanin Content Meter Applications • Non-Destructive Measurement • Monitor Sugar Maple Senescence • Study anthocyanin content in leaves and flowers • Anthocyanin has be shown to enhance plant pest protection and photoprotection. Features • Up to 160,000 measurement storage • Lightweight, Hand-Held Design Optimized for Field Work • Display Anthocyanin Content Index and Calculated Sample Averages • Built-in Data-Logging • USB output • Graphic data display • Stand Alone Operation- No P.C. Required he ACM-200 plus Anthcyanin Content Meter provides a fast estimate of anthocyanin content on the intact leaves of plants and flowers. Reduce grinding or destructive assays! The measurement is rapid, nondestructive and simple to obtain, allowing researchers to gather reliable data that has been shown to correlate to chemical testing. The ACM-200 plus is designed to be highly reliable and long lasting. It incorporates a large measuring area for signal averaging over a large sample area. This approach provides a reading that takes into account small structure variations that can affect repeatability and reliability when compared to a smaller sampling area. The ACM-200 plus is the successor to the CCM-200 anthocyanin meter, an instrument that was introduced in the year 2005. The ACM-200 plus has the large on-board memory, storing up to 160,000 measurements or up to 94,000 measurements with GPS Data internally. Users can record large amounts of measurements without concern as the data is stored in non-volitile flash memory. Downloading of data is quick and easy through its universal USB 1.1. port. The ACM-200plus does not require external data loggers. All you need for precise anthocyanin measurements are included in one lightweight, compact, affordable package. Tel: (603) 883-4400

Anthocyanin Content Meter Changes in anthocyanin content can occur over time. Research has shown that the anthocyanin meter can provide a reliable and fast estimate of anthocyanin. Studies have been done on Sugar maples, Clitoria ternatea, Desniodium adscendens, Corchorus olitorius, Catharanthus roseus, and Hibiscus sabdariffa. Other research is on going. Laboratory methods for determination of anthocyanin content are both time consuming and destructive to the sample. Typically, a sample must be detached, ground up in a solvent, then assayed in a spectrophotometer. With chemical testing, sample...
