Portable Photosynthesis System

LI-6800

The LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System simultaneously measures photosynthetic gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence over the same area in plants and aquatic samples, revealing additional insights into photobiology. Highly extendable, it is capable of measuring gas exchange from soil, insects, and many other sample types for countless experiments.

Publish your research story

You share your research stories by publishing in scientific journals. The LI-6800 is your partner in research—it reveals biological processes with its measurements so you can create compelling publications with your data.

LI-6800 features that safeguard the collection and quality of publishable data include:

  • startup iconAutomated startup, system tests and real-time operating status information ensure that the instrument starts and performs in top form, allowing you to quickly address issues if they arise.
  • battery iconLong-lasting, hot-swappable batteries keep up with you on long days. Battery charge status and a low-battery warning on the display let you keep going without interruption until you complete your measurements.
  • touch screen iconA responsive touch screen with a powerful graphics processor helps you visualize and understand the instrument settings.
  • charts iconCharts of live and logged data show multiple parameters at once. You can auto-scale, zoom in, and rescale charts to let the data reveal its story.
  • data log iconConfigurable data logging capabilities help you get the data you need for a robust, thorough analysis.
  • files iconData are recorded as plain text and Microsoft® Excel® files with embedded equations so you can recompute datasets with altered parameters.


Novel advancements

LI-COR continues its tradition of innovation in environmental measurement technology and applications. The LI-6800 features advancements not found in any other photosynthesis system.

Aquatic photosynthesis

The 6800-18 Aquatic Chamber—with the LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System—measures steady-state carbon assimilation and chlorophyll a fluorescence from algal suspensions, coral, macro algae, sea grasses, and more.

Dynamic Assimilation™ Technique

The Dynamic Assimilation Technique, based on a reformulation of the traditional assimilation equation, allows you to take measurements when chamber conditions are not at steady state, so you can record faster CO2 response curves and survey measurements.
