LI-COR Upgrades Photosynthesis Platform With New LI-6400XT

Lincoln, Nebraska:LI-COR Biosciences introduces the new LI-6400XT Portable Photosynthesis System with faster processor, support for flash memory, and Ethernet connectivity. The LI-6400 platform is a proven performer and the most cited photosynthesis instrument in scientific literature. The LI-6400 XT upgrade offers researchers additional flexibility for handling data and an upgrade path for existing LI-6400 owners.

A new LI-6400XT expansion slot provides networking and file transfer capabilities. CF-type flash memory cards can be used for archiving or transferring files. The Ethernet port allows for connectivity to a LAN, permitting drag and drop ease for configuration of multiple instruments, file transfer between instruments or computers, or direct access to data from spreadsheet or statistical analysis software.

A new digital board features a 400 MHz processor for faster operation. Updated OPEN 6.0 software provides a multi-phase flash feature for use with the 6400-40 Leaf Chamber Fluorometer for hard to saturate leaves. Support of bar code readers provides for large-scale entry of experimental parameters.

Owners of existing LI-6400 Systems can upgrade their instrument to an LI-6400XT with a LI-COR or user-installed upgrade.
