The Mini-FIRe breaks away from the limitations of the past by replacing old, error-prone amplitude methods with a revolutionary kinetic approach. Backed by peer-reviewed science (Gorbunov & Falkowski 2021, 2022), Mini-FIRe employs fluorescence kinetic analysis to deliver the world's most accurate assessments of absolute photosynthetic electron transport rates (ETR) and primary production.
The Kinetic Advantage
The Kinetic Advantage
- Absolute Accuracy: Measures the precise rate at which absorbed light energy is utilized for carbon fixation.
- Error-Free Data: Eliminates the historical uncertainties and errors caused by traditional amplitude-based methods.
- Scientifically Proven: Powered by the robust, peer-reviewed biophysical frameworks.

Comparison of classic amplitude-based (B) and kinetic (C) measurements of photosynthetic rates, related to cell growth rates.
The use of kinetic analysis dramatically improves the accuracy of fluorescence-based measurements of photosynthetic rates, as evident from vastly superior correlation with cell growth rates (Gorbunov and Falkowski, 2021). The kinetic analysis capability is unique for mini-FIRe technology and is not available in other instruments, such as FRR or PAM fluorometers.
