GFS-3000 Portable Photosynthesis System

Instrument Details:

Make : Heinz Walz​

Model: GFS-3000​ (3100-C​)

 

Specifications:

  • Control Unit 3100-C
  • Standard Measuring Head 3010-S
  • LED-Array/PAM-fluorometer 3055-FL (if GFS-3000FL)
  • Leaf Area Adapters
  • Cuvettes for Arabidopsis plants, Conifers or Lichens/Mosses (optional)

 

Working Principles:

          Gas Interchange Measures are based on the basic principle that changes in CO2 and H2O concentrations are determined when air passes through a controlled climate chamber containing a sample of the plant.

 

User Instructions:

General Safety Instructions-

  • Read the safety instructions and the operating instructions first.
  • Pay attention to all the safety warnings.
  • Keep the device away from water or high moisture areas.
  • Keep the device away from dust, sand and dirt.
