• The new LCpro-T, with microclimate control, combines many advantages of the existing LCpro-SD with the latest available science and technology improvements.

  • The LCpro-T reduces or eliminates instrument babysitting while providing a new capability.
  • The development of powerful RGB LEDs allows researchers to approximate solar spectra at different times of the day, or approximate other actinic light spectra, providing more reliable A/Q and A/Ci curves.
  • GPS location information with each measurement.
  • Adjustment capability driven by the color touchscreen menu.

  Advantages of the LCpro SD that still exist in the new LCpro T

  • Infrared gas analyzer with automatic zeroing for calibration of each measurement and measurement reliability of +/-1 μmol of CO2.
  • H2O sensors trimmed with lasers for +/- 1 millimole accuracy with no drift and less need for instrument care.
  • Humidity control allowing adjustment of the chamber, not only below ambient but also the unique ability to provide humidity above and near ambient to reduce instrument care and help prevent leaves from becoming inactive under the clamp.
  • Battery life of 8-16 hours.
  • Lightweight for a more enjoyable fieldwork experience.
  • Data transfer via SD card and USB up to 32 GB.

  • CO2	0-3000 ppm, 1 ppm resolution. Infrared gas analysis, open differential system, automatic zero, automatic compensation for atmospheric pressure and temperature.
