Why the LI-8100?

Single Chamber Survey System (top left), Single Chamber Long-Term System (bottom left), Multiple Chamber Long-Term System (right)Modular by design, the LI-8100 System's flexibility allows researchers to build custom systems from a selection of available components.

  • Survey system with 10 or 20 cm chamber
  • Single chamber long-term system
  • Multiple chamber long-term system (up to 16)
  • Fully modular - start with a single chamber system, add Multiplexer and additional chambers later.

Attention to Scientific Detail

  • Novel pressure vent - chamber pressure tracks ambient pressure
  • Double gasket chamber seals
  • Automation of chambers to prevent soil perturbation
  • Perforated long-term chamber baseplates minimize perturbations to soil environment
  • Choice of linear or exponential flux calculation
  • Flux rates calculated at ambient concentration
  • LI-COR's years of expertise in soil CO2 flux
