Multi-sample
Laboratory system for Multi-sample soil respiration measurements
The next generation of multi-sample analysis systems. The EGA60 is a fully integrated system, featuring an accurate and reliable CO2 analyzer that measures CO2 to 1ppm in a range of 0-2000ppm, and measures H20 to 0.1 mbar in a range of 0-75mbars. It is combined with a versatile gas multiplexer in one compact unit. 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.
A single EGA60 system can sequentially analyze up to 24 soil samples. The EGA60 is available with 10, 15, 20 or 24 channels. One channel being reserved for a zero column.
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.
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 chamber.

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.
