Plant Growth

Plant Growth

When working with plants, the environment in which the plants exist is one of the biggest concerns. Some plants are resilient and others, delicate. Different plants require different conditions to grow and flourish. And when it comes to scientific study, the surrounding environment is always a concern. Whether you are simply rearing plants for a specific use or are looking to conduct experiments and gather data, you need an environment you can control.

Plant growth chambers or incubators allow for precise control of the environment and are designed to produce conditions ideal or necessary for specific plant growth tasks. Darwin Chambers is the leader in innovation and quality in the environmental chamber industry, and we carry a range of plant growth products that can meet any plant growth need.

Our clients depend on us for reliable, easy to use, high quality plant growth chambers. If you are in the need of a controlled environment for your plant growth needs, choose from the line of high-performing Darwin Chamber plant growth products.

Plant Growth Product Applications

Our plant growth products have valuable applications. A plant growth chamber provides a controlled environment in which plants can exist. These chambers make it possible to measure the effects of various environmental characteristics, such as light, temperature, humidity, and other atmospheric conditions, on plant growth and function. These chambers are used in biotechnology, seed germination, agricultural research, and the development of products and organisms. In addition, plant growth incubators are used for standard plant production.

Plant growth chambers and incubators are ideal for:

  • Plant breeding
  • Genetic research
  • Photosynthesis
  • Nutrition studies
  • Research in other topics in plant life and physiology
  • Production and growth of plants

Precise conditions and exact control and manipulation of these various environmental factors are mandatory for usable study results and reliable plant production conditions. The plant growth chamber is meant to manipulate atmospheric conditions while also eliminating the influence of other confounding variables that exist in a natural setting. This is why the performance and capabilities of your plant growth chamber are so crucial.

Darwin Chambers designs and produces its plant growth products with the safety and wellbeing of the Earth, our clients, and our clients' work in mind. Our plant growth chambers are constructed in compliance with the USDA-APHIS. In addition, our chambers are constructed using high-performing polyurethane insulation with an R-value of 31+. The foam materials used in the construction of Darwin plant growth chambers contain zero VOC's (volatile organic compounds) and have zero Global Warming Potential. This affords you confidence in the performance of your chamber for your plant growth needs while also knowing that the chamber and its construction are safe for the environment and the individuals operating it.


Plant Growth Reach-In Chambers - the PG Series

The Darwin Chambers PG Series is a line of versatile reach-in plant growth chambers. The units are available at stock design models with many custom options. Highly reliable and easy to clean, these chambers are ideal for nearly any application. Models are available that can be used as bench-top models, stacked, and full-height sizes.

PG Series Features

  • Temperature. ALl PG series models are capable of temperatures between 10 to 60º C with lights on, and can reach as low as 4º C with lights off.
  • Quiet Operation. The ultra-quiet and highly efficient DC fans come standard in all Darwin products, including the plant growth reach-in chambers. The nearly silent fan makes it possible to locate a plant growth chamber in the midst of a populated work area.
  • Energy Efficiency. Darwin Chambers PG Series plant growth chambers consume less energy than similar models from competitors while also creating less demand on a building's cooling systems - a major concern for many labs and buildings where incubation chambers are used. This translates to dual energy savings that can easily amount to thousands of dollars in reduced costs per year.
  • Non-Proprietary Controllers. The PG Series plant growth incubators all come equipped with Fuji Electric controllers. These controllers come standard with countless valuable features like:
    • Autotuning
    • Fuzzy logic
    • PID control
    • Programmable alarms
    • Calibration capability
    • Offset capability

    Additional features, such as a touchscreen interface, are available as options. The Fuji controllers are unique in the industry because they have been widely proven and are in use in tens of thousands of commerical products. Our plant growth products can be easily fitted with other controllers if you prefer.

Plant Growth Walk-In Chambers

Darwin Chambers offers quality engineered, entirely customizable plant growth rooms. Available with delivery and installation, our plant growth rooms are designed for maximum performance and sustainability and are modular and easily reconfigurable.

As a professional who works with plants, you will appreciate many key characteristics of our walk-in plant growth chambers that make a difference when it comes to plant growth research. In addition to these important standard features of Darwin walk-in plant growth chambers, choose from a versatile selection of custom options.

Plant Growth Room Features

  • Temperature. Darwin plant growth rooms have a temperature range of 10°C to 40°C lights on, and can go down to 4°C with lights off. Temperature control is at a range of ±0.2°C at the sensor for maximum control and precision.
  • Air flow. Our plant growth rooms are designed for minimal plant disturbance when it comes to airflow.
  • Design. Rooms are available as one, two, or three tier growth chambers.
  • Cooling system. Units are fitted with a drop-in refrigeration system for ease of repairs and consistent performance. Our plant growth rooms utilize a top-mounted industrial grade air cooled hot-gas bypass system designed to run continuously.
  • Lighting. Lights in walk-in plant rooms are programmed with "all at once" dimming abilities that are able to reach 500-1000 μmol/m2/s (6”) of broad PAR 5000k - perfect for entomology, arabidopsis, tissue culture, medicinal plant, algea, and corn and soybean studies.
  • Virtual touchscreen. The Virtual Touchscreen is a technology available with Darwin Chambers products with numerous benefits including data logging, storage, multiple user settings with different access levels, programmable temperature and lights, and more. Learn more about the virtual touchscreen technology here.
  • Shelving. The open wire epoxy-coated steel shelves with evenly distrubted support are capable of holding 600 pounds per shelf. Our Green Epoxy Coated Wire Shelf is treated with an iron phosphate base with an antibacterial agent applied, capable of withstanding high-humidity environments.
  • Safety. As mentioned, we construct our chambers with safe and friendly materials. All walk-in chambers are equipped with an accessible, visible, and easy-to-operate personnel alarm in case of an emergency. This feature can save lives.
