Welcome

Thank you very much for purchasing our TARGAS-1 Portable Photosynthesis System. Although the

majority of customers will be using this system for measurement of leaf gas exchange using our PLC5

Leaf Cuvette, it can also be used with a number of additional chambers and accessories for

measurement of soil respiration, net canopy flux, PAR, soil temperature, soil moisture and soil

temperature and temperature/PAR. The TARGAS-1 can also be used as a stand-alone CO2/H2O gas

analyzer in both absolute and differential mode. We greatly appreciate your business and we look

forward to working with you and your research team for many years to come.
