(Formerly known as Decagon SC-1 Leaf Porometer)
Calibration
The SC-1 is simpler to use for a variety of reasons. It’s lightweight, so you won’t get fatigued carrying it around in the field (or around your neck, for that matter). What’s more, breakthrough steady-state technology means it doesn’t have any moving parts, making it easy and reliable to use. Plus, calibrations are simple to do, and readings can be displayed as either leaf vapor conductance or resistance and saved for downloading later (USB cable and utility software included).
Maintenance
There’s low cost, and then there’s lifetime low cost. The SC-1 is affordable to begin with. And because it’s also low maintenance, you won’t have to keep dipping into your budget to get it repaired when the pump breaks or a seal goes bad. These combine to save you money in both the short and long term.
- Accurate High speed results (readings in 30 seconds)

| Stomatal conductance |
Range: 0 to 1,000 mmol/(m2s) NOTE: The SC-1 can measure higher than 500 mmol/(m2 s) and detect relative stomatal conductance change in the high range, but absolute accuracy becomes unverifiable past 500 mmol/(m2s). |
