Arabidopsis Solutions
EGC offers a number of growth chambers designed for arabidopsis research. These multi-tier chambers can also be used for seedling germination and other plant growth work where full height is not required.
G20 and G30 Reach-ins
Our G20 and G30 reach-in chambers offer 20 and 30 ft. of growing area respectively, with 20" of growing height in a two tier design. Air flow is horizontal across the growth area, through slotted side wall plenums. Each growing tier is illuminated by an array of fluorescent and incandescent lamps, which can be programmed in banks to provide multiple lighting levels. The upper lamp tier is separated from the growth chamber by a Plexiglas barrier to reduce load on the refrigeration system. Aluminum plant trays are individually adjustable. Two doors provide improved access to the entire growing area. Twin air-cooled condensing units provide conditioning of chamber air, with plug-in convenience.
GCW30 Reach-in
Based on our GC series growth chamber, the GCW30 arabidopsis chamber features an upward airflow through the aluminum channel shelves. Airflow for each tier is delivered separately to minimize the effect of one upon the other. Fluorescent/ incandescent lamp arrays in fixed light canopies include program switchable banks for various levels. Optional lighting levels can also be specified at time of order. The conditioning system features our 2 phase direct expansion design with full proportional control, a sealed mixing valve, and water cooled condensing unit for reliable performance and superior control.

Walk-in Arabidopsis Growth Rooms
Based on our GC series growth chamber, the GCW30 arabidopsis chamber features an upward airflow through the aluminum channel shelves. Airflow for each tier is delivered separately to minimize the effect of one upon the other. Fluorescent/ incandescent lamp arrays in fixed light canopies include program switchable banks for various levels. Optional lighting levels can also be specified at time of order. The conditioning system features our 2 phase direct expansion design with full proportional control, a sealed mixing valve, and water cooled condensing unit for reliable performance and superior control.
As a less costly alternative, many scientists prefer to use our general purpose environmental room fitted with custom shelf lighting. Ceiling mounted air plenum units circulate the air and can provide overall temperature control to within ± 0.5°C, measured at the temperature sensor.
