Introducing the Leaf Trace Gas Integration System (LI-6878): a new system to seamlessly combine the LI-6800 and trace gas analyzers

APRIL 7, 2026

Plant-mediated greenhouse gas fluxes and advanced plant physiological measurements (like mesophyll conductance) have long been gate-kept due to methodological complexity, instrument expense, and infrastructure requirements - until now. Join LI-COR and Dr. Asaph Cousin's lab for a webinar that introduces the next frontier for Plant Physiology: the Leaf Trace Gas Integration System (LI-6878), the newest solution from LI-COR that seamlessly integrates the LI-6800 with LI-COR's trace gas analyzers.

This webinar will explain how the LI-6878, a first-of-its-kind integrated solution, allows users to collect leaf-level trace gas fluxes and carbon isotope discrimination to estimate mesophyll conductance (gm) in real-time or determine plant-mediated greenhouse gas fluxes (N₂O and CH₄); whether users are in the lab, greenhouse, or in the field. These data enable a better understanding as to the drivers of photosynthetic responses from stressed conditions and can significantly improve the parameterization level and prediction accuracy of crop and ecosystem models.

In this session, LI-COR will walk through the LI-6878 system, the theory behind its operation, and measurement workflow; while Asaph Cousin's lab will share their real-world experience with the Trace Gas Integration System and discuss several research applications.
