Chlorophyll Content Meter
Proven performance at a great price
The CCM-200 plus Chlorophyll Content Meter is an updated version of the very successful CCM-200 instrument. It is a reliable leaf absorption style meter with over 1,000 research citations. Designed as an affordable solution, the CCM-200 plus provides averaging between 2 to 30 samples for nitrogen management. Non-volatile flash memory stores up to 50,000 measurements.
The CCM-200 plus is designed to be the most repeatable portable chlorophyll content meter available. It incorporates a large measuring area for signal averaging. This approach provides a more reliable reading that takes into account small structure variations that can affect repeatability and reliability when compared to smaller area sampling. Accuracy of measurement is determined by correlation with chemical tests. Results have shown that the CCM-200 is as accurate as any chlorophyll meter on the market. Employing a medical grade strict tolerance LED source insures repeatability and consistent meter to meter readings.
The CCM-200 plus has large on-board memory, storing 50,000 measurements. Users can record months of measurements as well as input their own comment lines without worrying about limited memory or lugging additional equipment such as data loggers or PCs in the field. Data transfer is quick and easy through USB connection.

70Ah Battery Belt
Adjustable locking desktop arm
Dark adaptation clip
Pouch of 50 clips
PAR clip
Large universal tripod – extends from 1.4m to 3.2m
Opti-Sciences Inc. manufactures and distributes chlorophyll flurometers, chlorophyll content meters, and specialty fluorometers.
We also distribute products from ADC BioScientific Ltd. in the US.
70 Amp-hour battery belt
This belt is designed to provide a source of power for Opti-Sciences OS5p+ and OS1p fluorometers, used at remote field sites, when recharging is problematic. Scientists also use them for extreme weather conditions. Battery charge life can be significantly reduced under extreme heat or extreme cold conditions.
Articulated locking arm
This is a tripod like accessory that allow PAR clips, The Y(II) meter, or the iFL measuring chamber to be adjusted and locked at various locations, and angles for laboratory measurement. Angles and locations can be quickly set and locked in position with a single adjustment knob.
Instrumentation not included.
Dark adaptation clip
Dark adaption clips are designed to provide an affordable yet reliable measuring solution for large populations of plants. Some Scientists buy hundreds of dark clips. The clips are built with sturdy and weather resistant yet cost effective materials. Flexible gaskets automatically seal the sample area from any light. An easy to operate slider is built-in to expose the sample surface after dark adapting.

PAR Clip
Opti-Sciences digital PAR clip provides both Photosynthetic Area Radiation measurements and highly accurate leaf temperature using modern thermistor technology accurate to ± 0.5oC. Its bottom opening design allows for a more convenient one-handed operation.
Tripod with articulated arm
This is a large universal tripod that also includes the FL-ARM stand. It can be used for trees or other larger plants. At the top of the tripod is an articulating arm that allows the PAR clip to be adjusted to almost any angle or position. The articulating arm may also be used with a base plate that comes with the FL-T stand, for use in the laboratory, on smaller plants.
