The Q-teach Plant CO2 Package is designed for teaching the principles of photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration in leaves placed in a flow-through chamber. The package includes everything required by the instructors: NDIR CO2 analyzer, gas pump/flow monitor, RH/Temperature sensor, leaf chamber, LED light source calibrated in software for PAR output, 6 gas bags, accessories, data interface, software, and experimental files with all experiments and calculations outlined. Operational and laboratory experiment manuals are also included.
