LI-COR Biosciences designs, manufactures, and markets integrated instrument systems for plant biology, environmental research, biotechnology, and drug discovery. LI-COR instruments for photosynthesis, gas analysis and light measurement are used worldwide for plant science research, climate change research, and environmental monitoring.
LI-COR biotechnology products were the primary tool used by Genoscope the French National Sequencing Center to sequence chromosome 14 of the Human Genome project.
Results from Google Scholar show LI-COR products (sometimes spelled LICOR) have been cited over 10,000 times by peer reviewed journals.
LI-COR gas analyzers are used worldwide for monitoring volcanic CO2. USGS monitors CO2 using LI-COR analyzers at Mount St. Helens and other locations.
Fluxnet sites worldwide, numbering over 200 sites, use a number of LI-COR instruments including the LI-7500 Open Path CO2/H2O gas analyzer, LI-7000 Closed Path CO2/H2O gas analyzer, LI-6400 Portable Photosynthesis System, LAI-2000 Plant Canopy Analyzer as well as various LI-COR light sensors. The Fluxnet sites greatly contibute to the global climate change studies conducted by various university as well as government researchers.
Founded in 1971, the privately held company is based in Lincoln, Nebraska USA, with subsidiaries in Germany and the United Kingdom. LI-COR systems are used in over 100 countries and are supported by a global network of offices and distributors.
