Conviron launches new GEN1000 growth chamber

Today, Conviron announced the launch of the new GEN1000 chamber. The new chamber comes equipped with exciting new features such as cost saving LEDs, extended humidity range, advanced controller, and user-adaptable kits.

With its unique ability to adapt to four different research applications, the GEN1000 offers an economical and flexible equipment platform. The base chamber itself can be fitted with one of four specially configured kits:

• Tall Plant Kit: The tall plant kit includes a barriered canopy that removes lamp heat and exhausts it to ambient, allowing for high light intensity and uniformity. Uniform upward airflow helps provide ideal plant growth conditions.
• Short Plant Kit: Designed for smaller plants such as Arabidopsis, the short plant kit maximizes efficiency by providing two fully-usable growth areas with separate lamp canopies. With the horizontal airflow design, shelves can be loaded to capacity without obstructing airflow.
• Tissue Culture Kit: Designed specifically for tissue culture applications, this unique configuration reduces condensation on research specimens by delivering precisely controlled vertical airflow to each independently lit and thermally broken tier.
• Incubation Kit: Created for the incubation of plantlets and insects, this kit provides maximum flexibility with removable and adjustable lamp fixtures and shelves. Additional shelves and lighting are available.

The GEN1000 is also available with several options such as cost saving LED lights and can be easily adapted for entomology research by selecting the optional phenolic coated refrigeration coil, which protects it from insect damage. Click here to learn more.
