subject: Laboratory Plant Growth Chamber Exporters India [print this page] The environmental parameters and various growth conditions play a very important role in seed germination and plant growth and development. In natural surroundings, it is often very difficult to control these environmental parameters for optimizing plant growth. Therefore, the plant growth chambers are commonly employed by industrial and research organizations for optimizing plant growth and studying the effect of various environmental conditions on their growth and development. The Customized Plant Growth Chambers are highly specialized equipments, designed to provide optimum growth conditions for a wide variety of plants and microorganisms. They form an important part of agro-based industries and research organizations and are designed to adapt to the specific requirements of various research applications. They are most commonly employed by research laboratories, defence installations and educational institutes for tissue culture applications, growth observation studies, fermentation and enzyme reaction studies and other applications involving plant cells and tissues.
The customized plant growth chambers are essentially double walled units with effective thermal insulation between the double walls for increased thermal efficiency. The unit uses high quality construction materials such as high grade stainless steel sheets or anodized aluminium sheets for inner walls and pre-treated, powder-coated or painted thick PCRC sheets for external walls. The unit usually comes equipped with double doors, featuring an outer mild steel door with stainless steel inner surface and an inner transparent door made up of plexi glass or float glass for ease of monitoring. The inner glass door is usually magnetically operated and comes equipped with a lock and key arrangement for added safety.
The customized plant growth chambers come equipped with customizable shelves that can be arranged according to the requirements of the sample and the sample size. The equipment is also provided with adequate number of fans and efficient motors for maintaining the air circulation within the chamber and for uniform distribution of heat. The equipment also features an efficient cooling system that helps in dissipating the excess heat generated by plant cells and tissues.
The customized plant growth chambers use programmable microprocessor based controllers for temperature, ensuring highly accurate and optimum working conditions within the equipment. They also use an efficient humidification system for maintaining optimum humidity levels for optimum plant growth. The humidification system ideally comprises of an aerosol humidity generator that releases fine aerosol particles in the form of mist across the plant surfaces. It is also provided with a humidity controller and indicator and LED/LCD display for ease of monitoring and control.
The customized plant growth chambers usually feature a door operated illumination system and a solid state cyclic timer for controlling the intensity of illumination. The illumination system generally comprises of fluorescent lights concealed within a diffused light panel. The illumination levels can also be controlled for studying the photoperiodic cycles of plants.
The customized plant growth chambers come equipped with an array of safety features such as safety thermostats including an automatic temperature controller and temperature sensors for added safety. They might also feature light sensors and CO2 sensors for precise control of irradiance and CO2 levels. The more sophisticated models of the equipment are available in modular designs that allow the user to make changes in its configuration as per specific requirements and provide a better control over the illumination levels and air circulation. They might also come equipped with data logger units and Ethernet connectivity, allowing easy access for added comfort.
