The Fitotron High Specification Plant Growth Chambers (HGC) are based on a modular design. Should your research requirements change then the chamber can be adapted to the new situation by exchanging or retrofitting individual modules.
The HGC 1514 is a High Performance Plant Growth Chamber with a growth area of 1.5m2 
Applications include:
As standard, it has a lighting intensity of 450 mmol.m-²s-¹ @ 200mm and a temperature range of:
and a humidity range of:
The chamber is based on a concept of modularity and additional modules can be added to:
Lighting
The Fitotron HGC range uses a combination of different lamps to simulate a daylight spectrum. Through the use of high frequency fluorescent lamps, dimming of light intensity from 10% to 100% is standard. Dawn and dusk are simulated by the addition of a high proportion of red light.
As an option, the height of the lamps can be adjusted using an external motor. This ensures that the growing conditions remain constant and the plants are not disturbed.
Metal Halide lamp modules with higher light intensity of 700 and 1000 umols @ 500mm are available. The lamps are installed in a separate air-cooled lamp compartment, together with the UV light source.
Airflow
Both horizontal and vertical airflow are standard. The plenum wall and floor design ensures a low air velocity whilst guaranteeing a high degree of temperature/humidity uniformity.
Low temperature
An optional low temperature module is available which is capable of a temperature of -10°C.
