PP systems, UK; CIRAS – 2 Instrument description CIRAS - 2 Description and functionality The CIRAS-2 measures simultaneously both CO 2 and H2O through a differential system (reference and analysis). It features 4 independent, non-dispersive INFRA RED gas analyzers. The analyzers (reference and analysis) include an infrared source, highly polished, gold plated sample cells and detectors. The system is capable of providing independent, automatic control of CO2 and H2O to the leaf cuvette (reference) and within the leaf cuvette (analysis). Control of CO2 and H2O can be dynamic allowing to carry out automatic response curve generation (e.g. assimilation rate vs CO2 concentration). https://ppsystems.com/portable-photosynthesis-systems/; ppsystems.com › 800371 CIRAS2_Tutorial_V203 location and contact persons Contact person fausto.manes Laboratory denomination Functional Ecology and Ecosystem Services Department or Institution Biologia Ambientale Building CU022 Floor Ground floor Room 29 Sapienza institutional funding (Finanziamento di Ateneo) other external funding safety notes Safety data notes To use this instrument no safety items are required Chemical fume hoods No Air extraction system No Air intake system No Safety cabinet No
