The MULTIPLEX RESEARCH™ sensor is a portable field fluorometer. This sensor does instant and non-destructive measurements of the chlorophyll and the polyphenols (anthocyanin, flavonols) in leaves and fruits. It is used in the field as well as in the laboratory. The MULTIPLEX RESEARCH™ comes with an internal GPS whose aim is to geolocalize blocks and do the mapping of crop constituants. The calculated indices are : ANTH, anthocyanin index ; SFR (Simple Fluorescence Ratio), chlorophyll index ; FLAV, flavonol index ; NBI (Nitrogen Balance Index), nitrogen deficiency marker. This optical sensor is used for various applications, specifically for ecophysiology: Physiological studies ; Genetic studies ; Plant phenology studies ; Plant selection ; Phenotyping ; Agronomy. For any study that needs knowledge of the chlorophyll index: Nutritional chlorosis ; Disease-induced chlorosis ; Potential photosynthesis ; Leaf senescence. The flavonols index: UV protection; Leaf light environment; Phenolics accumulation. The anthocyanin index: Temperature stress ; Environment light ; Leaf senescence ; Mutant selection. In addition to these measurements, the MULTIPLEX RESEARCH™ also calculates in real time: The NBI (Nitrogen Balance Index), index of crop nitrogen nutrition estimation ; The BRR (Blue-to-Red fluorescence Ratio), index of crop water stress ; The index of red grape maturation. The MULTIPLEX RESEARCH™ is set to have 3 standard configurations. Each of these configurations is adapted to a kind of sample and environment: leaf, fruit, in the field, into the greenhouse. It is possible tohave a 4th configuration especially designed for the user needs.
