Growth chambers

Temperature range: 0 °C to 50 °C
Interior volumes: 260 to 1 600 liters
Humidity range (Model KBF PRO): 10 % to 90 % RH

A plant growth chamber is an enclosed climate chamber which generates a defined climate (temperature and in the case of KBF PRO also humidity) and defined light conditions. In addition, a defined CO2 concentration may be useful or necessary. 
 

In contrast to walk-in plant growth chambers (phytotrons) or greenhouses, isolated experiments can be carried out in plant growth chambers under precisely defined and reproducible conditions.
Providing the basis for BINDER plant growth chambers are climate chambers from the KBF and KBF PRO series with temperature and humidity control as well as refrigerated incubators from the KB PRO series. These basic units are equipped with retrofittable LED plant light modules: The control unit is attached to the exterior using supplied fastening elements and the LED strip lights are secured in the interior of the units as required using metal clips.
 

The LED light system was developed to ensure maximum flexibility. It consists of 16 LED strip lights that can be positioned individually. Each light strip contains three different LED color channels that can be controlled separately: sunlight-simulating warm white, sunlight-simulating cold white, and dark red phytochrome control light. The three color channels can be switched, dimmed, and programmed in real time independently of each other using the intuitive control unit. In addition, the system contains a twilight function and a fresh air function. The maximum irradiance (PAR) reaches sunlight strength. In contrast to the warm white light, the dark red channel is used to trigger the phytochrome system.
