Insect Respiration Chamber

Insect Respiration Chamber

The Insect Respiration Chamber (6800-89) provides the ability to measure CO₂ respiration from insects, other very small animals, or small fruits. The LI-6800 directs conditioned air through the insect respiration chamber and computes a flux based on the differential concentrations between reference and sample gas analyzers. Respiration is computed on the basis of mass, providing a measure of CO₂ exchange per unit of mass over time. The Insect Respiration Chamber includes the Custom Chamber Adapter.
