This single channel non-dispersive infrared CO2 analyzer's 0 to 2000 ppm range and 1 ppm resolution make it ideal for CO2 exchange measurements with leaves, insects, small animals or organisms with a low metabolic rate. It is also excellent for measuring soil respiratory activity in the lab and field. The analyzer may be used in a flow-through gas exchange configuration for instantaneous and continuous measurements of CO2 exchange. It can also be used in stop flow or closed system modes for measurements at extremely low activity levels. The S151 may also be used as part of Qubit Systems' carbon dioxide control system for regulating pCO2 in growth cabinet.
