Plant Growth Chamber ME8

Plant Growth Chamber ME8

Product Description

The Plant Growth Chamber ME8 is a highly customizable plant growth chamber capable of achieving extreme conditions of temperature, lighting levels, and humidity. The Plant Growth Chamber is well suited for research applications requiring a high level of control in a relatively small footprint. In addition to customizable environmental control parameters, options are also available for growth height, gas levels, and a variety of refrigeration configurations. The Plant Growth Chamber ME8 offers a minimum growth height of 46” (1180mm) in an 8ft² (0.74m²) growth area. Please consult Meditech for your specific requirements for Plant Growth Chamber.

Product Overview/Applications – Plant Growth Chamber
The Plant Growth Chamber ME8 is a highly customizable plant growth chamber capable of achieving extreme conditions of temperature, lighting levels, and humidity. The Plant Growth Chamber is well suited for research applications requiring a high level of control in a relatively small footprint. In addition to customizable environmental control parameters, options are also available for growth height, gas levels, and a variety of refrigeration configurations. The Plant Growth Chamber ME8 offers a minimum growth height of 46” (1170mm) in an 8 ft2 (0.7m3) growth area. Please consult Meditech for your specific requirements for Plant Growth Chamber

Lighting – Plant Growth Chamber
The standard lighting system for the Plant Growth Chamber ME8 employs a counterbalanced light canopy. This facilitates precise light intensity levels to be maintained throughout the life of the experiment. A balanced light spectrum for Plant Growth Chamber is achieved with a combination of fluorescent and incandescent lamps with options for other lamp types. Standard light intensity is 575 micromoles/m2/s which is measured by a quantum light meter for Plant Growth Chamber and transmitted to the controller for user readout. Standard lighting control includes four levels per lamp type while higher intensity levels and control are available.

Airflow – Plant Growth Chamber
Airflow for the Plant Growth Chamber ME8 is distributed uniformly upward using Meditech’s innovative Uni-floor air distribution plenum. Airflow is sufficient to ensure uniformity as well as proper gas exchange at the leaf surface. Fresh air intake can be adjusted up to 10ft3/min (0.28m3/ min) which also helps to ensure adequate ambient gas exchange in Plant Growth Chamber

Refrigeration – Plant Growth Chamber
Cooling is provided by a self-contained air-cooled condensing unit with hot gas bypass for continuous compressor operation. An electronic modulating valve provides tight temperature control while ensuring quiet operation Plant Growth Chamber . Pressure transducers are included for monitoring the status of the refrigeration system. Consult the factory for heat rejection information and other options for cooling for Plant Growth Chamber.

Experiment Protection
User programmable “set and forget” alarms track the chamber’s operation versus user-defined set points for Plant Growth Chamber. This allows for exceptionally accurate monitoring without the need for adjustment every time the set point is redefined. Backup “high/ low” alarms provide a further level of protection while visual and audible notification is provided when any alarm is activated. Contacts for connection to a building management system are also included on request Plant Growth Chamber.
