EQUiTEC Plant Growth Chambers
EQUiTEC complete range of Plant Growth Chambers provides precision environmental conditions for the growth for Tissue culture, Small and Tall plants, Seed Germination, Drosophila and insects, Arabidopsis, Algae, Plant pathology, Entomology and Medicinal Cannabis. Our chambers deliver the most accurately controlled conditions for optimum plant research and repeatable.
EQUiTEC reach-in, chambers available in 12 different models and 8 configurations provide tight uniform control of temperature, humidity and light. Lighting availability is using T5 Fluorescent tubes or SYSLED BIO™ LED light fixtures.
Lighting can be configured in 4 combination, Chamber door, Chamber door and 2 sides, Chamber door and rear wall, or Shelf lighting. SYSLED BIO™ LED lights can be customized to suit your application from a wavelength range of <350nm to 820nm, ideal for Strong vegetative and generative growth, enhancing vernalization and wide sun-like spectrum for research and biotech applications, allowing you to select the best chamber’s lighting system according to your requirements.
Available in sizes from 352 to 2800Lt internal capacity, all designed to take up a minimal footprint, allowing you to most efficiently take advantage of your laboratory floor space
The 4.3” series 4000 touch screen interface allows quick and simple programming with built in data logging, trend graphing, password protection, alarms and battery backup for 48hrs.
EQUiTEC is committed to designing environmentally efficient products. Our green technologies are cutting edge, yielding proven cost savings and energy efficiency. Insulation is foamed-in-place using CFC-free polyurethane foam, contributing to high thermal retention, placing less demand on your lab’s air conditioner HVAC systems.
A wide range of options and accessories allows you to modify the chamber specific to your need. Some popular options include: humidity control, programmable/dimmable LED lights, CO2 control and chlorophyll-matching red (660 nm) and blue (420 nm) lamps. Slide out draw systems to replace perforated shelves, Wi-Fi connectivity, Ethernet and RS485 options, Alarms just to name a few.
LAF Technologies, provides regular service agreement interval programs and preventative maintenance programs to ensure your equipment is always preforming in its optimal parameters.
