Plant Growth Chambers

Plant Growth Chambers. Plants grow. It is in their nature to do so, and they find and make use of the resources around them as best possible. However, the conditions in nature are always changing and are not always ideal for prolific plant growth. And sometimes, prolificacy is not the goal. Whatever the case may be, as someone who works with plants, a precise and controllable environment is paramount. Whether the purpose is to produce as many healthy plants as fast as possible or to determine the effects of a certain hormone on the growth of a plant, you require an exact and consistent environment that you can only get from the best plant growth chambers. For dependable, consistent, and easy-to-use plant growth chambers, Darwin Chambers is the clear choice.

Plant Growth Chambers | Our Models

PG Series - Plant Growth Chamber Reach-In Models

Darwin Chambers Plant Growth Chambers PG Series is a stock design with a variety of opportunities for customization. These units are designed specifically for plant growth and are highly reliable and easy to maintain. The units feature heat resistance and temperature/humidity controls. Our standard reach-in is flexible enough to be redesigned as a bench-top, double door, or triple door upright. However, our popular PG034 (shown below) can be modified with slight dimension changes if need be. Order the exact plant growth chamber you need with all the custom options you require.

Our PG series plant growth chambers are designed with many exquisite technologies and features such as hot gas by-pass technology, which controls the temperature of the epoxy-coated evaporator for greater uniformity. We provide a three-year warranty on chamber compressors. Within the PG line, we manufacture the following models:

  • PG011 - The PG011 is a bench-top plant growth chamber model designed to fit on 24 inch benchtops or stacked with optional racking.
  • PG034 - The PG034 is a single-door incubator providing extra cubic feet designed for maximum capacity while still allowing passage through most commercial doorways.
  • PG068 - The PG068 is a wide double-door plant growth chamber. This chamber gives researchers additional growing room for their plants and applications to meet needed criteria.

Plant Growth Chamber Walk-In Models

In addition to the smaller reach-in chambers of the PG line, we also supply plant growth rooms, engineered for maximum value, sustainability, and conformance with USDA/APHIS standards. These fully customizable rooms are modular and reconfigurable with countless additional options. Each Darwin Chambers room, including the plant growth chamber, is fitted with comprehensive safety equipment including an illuminated emergency personnel alarm.

Additional Plant Growth Chamber Features

Superior Control and Uniformity

With our ultrasonic humidification technology, our chambers provide tight and accurate humidity control without producing hot spots that occur in steam boiler-equipped chambers. At the sensor, our temperature and humidity controls are at ±0.2°C and ±0.3%RH.

Widely Proven, Non-Proprietary Controllers

Our PG Series uses standard controls provided by Fuji Electric. This controller is industry-proven with tens of thousands of applications. Standard functions include autotuning, fuzzy logic, PID control, programmable alarms, calibration capability, offset capability, etc. A touchscreen control interface is optional. If you prefer a specific manufacturer controller, our equipment supports many others and can easily be fitted with the controller of your choice.

Key applications include:

  • Product Range: Manufacturers offer a variety of plant growth chambers, including reach-in chambers, walk-in rooms, and specialized chambers with features such as adjustable lighting, temperature control, humidity control, CO2 regulation, and airflow management.
  • Customization: Many manufacturers provide customization options to tailor plant growth chambers to the specific needs and requirements of researchers, agricultural institutions, universities, and commercial growers.

Plant Growth Chamber Uses

Plant growth chambers, also known as plant growth rooms or phytotron chambers, are controlled environment chambers designed to simulate specific environmental conditions for plant growth and research. Here's some additional information about plant growth chambers:

  1. Controlled Environment: Plant growth chambers allow researchers to control various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, photoperiod (day length), CO2 concentration, and airflow. This control enables the replication of specific growth conditions to study plant responses under different scenarios.
  2. Research Applications: Plant growth chambers are used in a wide range of research areas, including plant physiology, genetics, ecology, agronomy, and biotechnology. Researchers can manipulate environmental variables to study plant growth patterns, development, responses to stress, and interactions with other organisms.
  3. Crop Improvement: Plant growth chambers play a crucial role in crop improvement programs by providing a controlled environment for breeding experiments, genetic studies, and selection of desirable traits such as yield, disease resistance, and nutritional content.
  4. Phenotyping: Plant growth chambers are used for phenotyping, which involves the systematic measurement of plant traits and characteristics under controlled conditions. This allows researchers to quantify plant responses to environmental stimuli and genetic variations.
  5. Education and Training: Plant growth chambers are valuable tools for teaching and training purposes in academic institutions and research organizations. They provide hands-on experience for students to learn about plant biology, environmental science, and experimental techniques.
  6. Commercial Applications: In addition to research and education, plant growth chambers are used in commercial settings for seed testing, plant breeding, plant propagation, and production of specialty crops such as microgreens and medicinal plants.
  7. Customization: Plant growth chambers are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different research needs and space requirements. They can be customized with additional features such as specialized lighting systems (e.g., LED, fluorescent), growth shelves, automated irrigation systems, and advanced monitoring and control systems.
  8. Integration with Other Technologies: Plant growth chambers can be integrated with other technologies such as imaging systems, sensors, and robotic platforms to automate data collection, phenotypic analysis, and experimental workflows.
