Arabidopsis Growth Chamber

Arabidopsis Growth Chamber Model NO : SRL / AGC-11

Application :

This chamber product is frequently used for research application such as lighting for plant pathology research and seedling germination and development.

Ecocentric System :

Chamber runs on the basis of Dewpoint control. Less deviations during short-term door opening & power failure. Less utility area Increased storage area. Low operating cost. Minimum power & water consumption. Reduced deviations. Less breakdowns due to standby refrigeration & humidification system. Due to PLC HMI & controlling through microprocessor based PID Temp. & RH operations the on time of both Temp. & RH system is reduced & efficiency of this system is increased with reduced energy consumption.

Ecocentric System :

The chamber is provided with best air circulation to give better temperature uniformity this is achieved by using one set of motor & blower in baffle wall Compartment to push treated air in working chamber. This system gives better than 1 deg c. temperature uniformity in working chamber, evaporator, heaters & steam injection system is from back side, behind baffle wall, the air circulation blower is also fitted in this compartment only. This arrangement helps to mix steam and air together and pass well mixed air inside the working chamber.
