CaliQ is a compact, inexpensive instrument that allows you to self-calibrate the MultispeQ instrument. One CaliQ device can calibrate multiple MultispeQ devices. This is particularly useful if you are conducting projects with multiple MultispeQs to ensure unbiased, accurate measurements. CaliQ calibrates the PAR light sensor and all PAR-emitting LEDs*. The kit also includes updated calibration cards and methods for calibrating absorbance changes, SPAD and leaf thickness.
CaliQ makes it much easier to update to the latest firmware and also allows for custom calibration procedures. CaliQ makes updating the firmware easy because it incorporates the latest calibration technique and settings. This will keep your data accurate and reproducible.
When calibrating MultispeQ Version 1 with the CaliQ, make sure you have a MultispeQ Version 1 CaliQ adapter.
Find more information on calibration in the PhotosynQ Documentation.
The CaliQ comes pre-calibrated by PhotosynQ and should be accurate for several months. CaliQ can be re-calibrated by PhotosynQ or with appropriate instruments by yourself.
