Hyperspectral Analysis for Plant, Algal and Environmental Monitoring
Qubit Systems is proud to offer two new and unique, field-based instruments (ROX and FLOX) for monitoring solar irradiance, solar reflection and solar-induced fluorescence. Applications include monitoring plant growth, plant biochemical status (e.g., pigment dynamics), photosynthetic activity and variations in environmental conditions (e.g., soil and water characteristics).

‘Twas the Night before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas and at the North Pole
Poor Santa was crying “I’m stuck in a hole!
Researchers want toys for their bio-laboratories,
To help them make sense of their egghead exploratories.
There’s students and profs and aspiring algologists,
And even a molecular plant physiologist!”

Recent Advances in Insect Research Involving Metabolic Rate Measurements Using Respirometry
For more than 25 years Qubit Systems has provided accurate, robust instruments for measuring insect respirometry in the laboratory and field. From drosophila to dung beetles, our single and multi-channel gas exchange systems have been used inventively and effectively to investigate effects of diet, environment and genome on insect physiology and behavior. Below, we celebrate some recent publications from RP1LP users.

Climate Change: Measurements and Effects
As we come to the close of #WorldOceansWeek, climate change is on our minds at Qubit Systems, as are the many impacts this existential threat is having on both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Monitoring the effects of climate change is the research focus of many Qubit clients. A selection of the instruments we design and manufacture to meet the needs of this critical research is highlighted below.
