GMP343
The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide Probe GMP343 is a rugged probe-type instrument for ecological measurements. Typical applications include CO2 soil respiration, ambient CO2 monitoring, plant growth chambers, and OEM applications. It has diffusion and flow-through models. Compensation options are standard for temperature, pressure, humidity and oxygen readings. This is the company’s high end CO2 measurement product. Two FMP343 models are available: A flow through model and a diffusion model.
Availability: Commercially Available
