What are plant growth chambers?
A plant growth chamber is a highly sought-after technology in the field of plant biology.Plant growth chambers create the precise environmental conditions for optimal and healthy growth. Scientists and commercial growers take great interest in this controlled environment as it facilitates better research and growth practices. A plant growth chamber offers flexibility in recreating specific growing conditions, such as humidity, temperature, lighting, atmospheric composition, and other parameters. It provides a sustainable, upgraded, and reproducible environment that allows researchers to initiate and control plant growth and physiology precisely. Most growth chambers are incorporated with sensors that keep track of variables such as CO2 levels, soil moisture and nutrient content, and light intensity. With their vast applicability in agriculture, horticulture, and plant biology, plant growth chambers are gaining popularity, as they create a homogeneous and reproducible environment that allows for more accurate and reliable plant studies.Applications
Plant growth chambers are widely used in research field to study crop productivity. Plant related agriculture research and development are the prime applications of these units; plant breeding, plant nutrition, photosynthesis are some of areas where plant growth chambers play an important role. Plant categories may vary such as cereal, arabidopsis, algae, tobacco, physcomitrella, fungi, medicago, weeds, soybeans, potatoes and other commercial crops and horticulture plants etc.

Canden Reach-in Plant growth incubators, growth chambers and uses high performance thermoelectric coolers which enables the incubator to maintain set points with relative ease. The control system includes a unique electronic board which enables bidirectional control over the thermoelectric system. This system is easier to replace and maintain.
The Reach-in plant growth incubator/ chambers have an optional additive humidity. Humidification is done via ultrasonic humidifier and a controller that displays both process and set value. The GC20 and GC40 have 3 levels of lighting per door/per section.
Applications:
| Agriculture Industries | Crop Motivation | Crop Genetic Engineering |
| Plant Breeding | Micro Biology | Photosynthesis |
| Bio Chemistry | Genetic Research | Biological Studies |
| Arabidopsis | Entomology Research | Tissue Culture |

This Growth Chamber uses thermoelectric assembly for heating and cooling. This type of cooling/heating system completely eliminates need for conventional refrigeration system and failures due to mechanical components such as compressors thereby drastically increasing the life expectancy of each chamber. Maintenance cost is also lowered by the thermoelectric/Peltier driven heating/cooling system. The plant growth chamber is quite while in operation. Chamber temperature set points are tightly controlled using PID controller. Relative humidity set points are achieved via additive ultrasonic humidification. A humidifier is mounted on the back of the chamber. Refer to humidifier manual for maintenance and water line hook up.
