APOGEE CHLOROPHYLL CONCENTRATION CCM-200

The CCM-200 Chlorophyll Content Meter is a handheld, battery operated instrument
designed for the rapid, non-destructive, determination of chlorophyll content in intact leaf
samples. Chlorophyll content is a direct indication of plant health and condition. Obtaining
chlorophyll content via non-destructive analysis gives researchers, agronomists, and
growers valuable diagnostic information. This data can then be applied to a multitude
of crop production and research initiatives such as: nutrient and irrigation management,
pest control, environmental stress evaluation, and crop breeding.
Measurements are instantaneous and can be done in the field under normal lighting
and growing conditions. Ample on-board data-logging and simple, easy to understand
measurements further enhance the user’ s ability to gather and interpret crop health
conditions. The software and data cable included with the CCM-200 allows for data
download to a PC for additional analysis.
The CCM-200 is a remarkable alternative to destructive sampling techniques. It is far less
time consuming and allows samples to be monitored multiple times over various stages
of an entire growth cycle. The rapid test and data gathering capability is sure to provide a
tremendous advantage to all types of research. This innovative pocket-sized instrument
is destined to play an important role in improving crop yield and producing higher quality
foods.
