? Studies of Electron Allocation Coefficient of Nitrogenase
? Study N2 Fixation and Photosynthate Supply
? Study Inhibition of N2 Fixation by Fertilizer Supply
Qubit Systems produces the only complete experimental package Q-Box NF1LP for measurement of nitrogen fixation in H2 producing legume symbioses. The unique flow-through H2 sensor (Q-S121) measures the production rate of H2 from N2-fixing tissues, allowing in vivo measurement of nitrogenase activity in real time. When combined with Qubit Gas Switching System measurements of nitrogenase activity on up to 3 plants is possible (4 channel system including reference)
Measurement of H2 evolution as a means of determining nitrogenase activity overcomes all the problems of the traditional acetylene reduction assay. The Q-Box NF1LP Nitrogen Fixation Package is perfectly safe, non-invasive and allows changes in nitrogenase activity to be observed as they occur.
NEW: For Multichannel measurements of nitrogenase activity consider adding Qubit Gas Switching System to Q-Box NF1LP Nitrogen Fixation Package

The Q-Box NF1LP Nitrogen Fixation Package Optional Components:
A249 Battery pack
Gas Switching System (for up to 4 channels)
The Nitrogen Fixation Package contains everything required to conduct numerous investigations into the physiology and biochemistry of N2 fixation in an open-flow gas exchange system. We even supply legume seeds and innoculum! You supply only the computer. Calibration of analyzers is simple, set-up time is minimal and experiments are easy to perform.
