CHLOROPHYLL CONCENTRATION METER CCM-200

APOGEE CHLOROPHYLL CONCENTRATION CCM-200 The CCM-200 Chlorophyll Content Meter is a handheld, battery operated instrument designed for the rapid, non-destructive, determination of chlorophyll content in intact leaf samples. Chlorophyll content is a direct indication of plant health and condition. Obtaining chlorophyll content via non-destructive analysis gives researchers, agronomists, and growers valuable diagnostic information. This data can then be applied to a multitude of crop production and research initiatives such as: nutrient and irrigation management, pest control, environmental stress evaluation, and crop breeding. Measurements are instantaneous and can be done in the field under normal lighting and growing conditions. Ample on-board data-logging and simple, easy to understand measurements further enhance the user’ s ability to gather and interpret crop health conditions. The software and data cable included with the CCM-200 allows for data download to a PC for additional analysis. The CCM-200 is a remarkable alternative to destructive sampling techniques. It is far less time consuming and allows samples to be monitored multiple times over various stages of an entire growth cycle. The rapid test and data gathering capability is sure to provide a tremendous advantage to all types of research. This innovative pocket-sized instrument is destined to play an important role in improving crop yield and producing higher quality foods. speCifiCations Measured ParaMeters • Ratio of optical transmission at 931 nm ( 50 nm half-bandwidth) divided by transmission at 653 nm ( 25 nm half-bandwidth) MeasureMent area • 71 mm2 • 0.95 cm diameter resolution • ± 0.1 Chlorophyll Concentration Index ( CCI) unit outPut • RS-232 automatic transfer with PC software included DETECTORS • Two silicon photodiodes with integral amplifiers saMPle acquisition tiMe • 2 - 3 second radiation source • Two LEDs range • 0 to 200 user interface • 16 by 12 alphanumeric LCD • 4 keys for control and data manipulation • Beep-signal for status and warnings storage caPacity • Internal datalogging of over 4000 measurements teMPerature drift • Temperature compensated source and detector circuitry for minimum drift over full range oPerating teMPerature • 0 - 50º C inPut Power • Standard 9 V alkaline battery
