Reach-in Growth Chambers
Reach-in growth chambers provide users with controlled and adjustable environmental conditions. Currently, four types offer homogenous light distribution and different possibilities for humidity adjustment and light programs (see below).
They are suitable for small-scale experiments including abiotic stress testing, comparative phenotyping, propagation, seeds, selection of transgenic lines, a large scale of plant or algae model species, and experiments with specified temperatures (suitable for temperature extremes).
