Hello I just can advise on the basis of experience/personnal use. For several of our projects we use the Li-Cor 6400, which is a quite robust machine under (harsh) field conditions. In fact, other groups near my own uses also Li-Cor with good results (and some problems, which are inevitable). Still, despite some modifications along the years, this system has now some years and need some deep revision (the weight and the battery autonomy should be take in consideration, as the people that work in the field really knows) On the other hand, I still use a CIRAS 1 system (with 17 years of heavy use that never crack down on my experiments, either field or lab measurements). Therefore, when I needed to buy a new system I choose the new CIRAS 3, which is much lighter (my back thanks me for this), with an extended autonomy (which can be further extended with an extra battery) depending on the light use or not and with a considerable lower price (for comparable specifications I believe that could be at least 20% cheaper). Yet, although it is a quite recent system, some software improvements should be considered, as, e.g,. the Li-Cor is somewhat user friendly when you have to identify a large set of plants/determinations. Good luck and best regards José C. Ramalho

As a researcher I have been heavily involved with leaf gas exchange measurements for over 30 years and I have extensive experience with several IRGA systems including the LI-6400 (Li-Cor) and CIRAS-1, CIRAS-2 and CIRAS-3 systems from PP Systems. I have had great success with both the Li-Cor and PP Systems’ models which are all designed for high level research. However, in my opinion the latest model from PP Systems (CIRAS-3) is the best system on the market today when you compare performance, portability, robustness and price. For field campaigns, portability is critical making the CIRAS-3 system the easy choice. I also like the powerful yet intuitive programming capability of the CIRAS-3 for automated response curves. The technical support I have received from PP Systems is also outstanding. I recommend to see this film: https://vimeo.com/110305544 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyacOTzPoDY and also this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WDSxcoARiY I am sure that, you will make the proper decision after watching those films.

@Amit Kumar Mishra, our new LI-COR 6800F has arrived! I'm curious. 20 years ago I worked with a LI-COR 6200. It still works, but is no longer standard. But he is a really reliable device. Now we start a training course tfor the 6800 F. Best regards, Petra

Li-COR 6400 is not sold anymore (it finished about 3 years ago). It was substituted by the LI-6800 (see here please, art LiCor site: https://www.licor.com/env/products/photosynthesis/LI-6800/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA5dPuBRCrARIsAJL7oeiqfOPtjD1eOLer58GH85dDLFIrpAmUQMyR636SWfkZXG_tuzMtdMcaAlAWEALw_wcB)
The prices are not very different from the previous Li-6400, but easiily go over 50000 €.
Good luck

I recommend Licor 6400 because I used this 3 years for my Ph.D works and it is very user friendly for both lab and filed conditions.
