New Multi-tier Cultivation Rooms

The Multi-Tier Cultivation Rooms (MCR) from Weiss Gallenkamp have been specifically designed to be suited to a variety of different plant growth applications.

They are ideal for reseach involving Arabidopsis and similar sized plants.

MCR's can be assembled and fully operational within a short space of time, making them the ideal solution for immediate requirements. In addition to this, MCR's can be fitted with a number of different shelf and lighting options to suit a wide range of biological applications.

Lighting

Lighting can be specified by the user, and is available in racks of 3 or 4 tiers. Lighting racks can be purchased independently of the room itself, and are delivered as complete, free-standing 'plug and play' units, incorporating the growing surface, lighting and air distribution. Each lighting bank ensures even distribution of airflow across the shelves, resulting in minimum temperature variations.

Lighting in the MCR range provides medium intensity of 250 μmol m-2 s-1 @ 300mm for the 3 tier version, and 180 μmol m-2 s-1 @ 300mm for the 4 tier version. Lighting racks are supplied with fluorescent lamps, each level of which is individually dimmable from an intensity of 100% down to 10%. LED lighting can also be fitted if required.

Users also have the option of adding light boxes, within which specimens can be cultured at different temperature and lighting conditions to the plants grown on the open light racks, so users can have different conditions within the same room.
