Leaf cuvettes for use with our CIRAS Portable Photosynthesis System

For over 25 years, PP Systems has been producing a full range of leaf cuvettes to accommodate a wide variety of leaf types (broad, narrow, conifers, pods, fruits, etc.). In addition, our technical staff have produced many special designs for specific applications and plant types such as mosses, lichens, Arabidopsis, Cactii.

We offer an extensive range of “automatic” leaf cuvettes that feature integrated, automatic control of temperature from approximately -8° C below ambient up to +40° C. Optional light units are available for use with all “automatic” style leaf cuvettes providing automatic, integral light control.  All “automatic” style leaf cuvettes can be used for ambient studies as well.
