Multi-tier Cultivation Rooms

The Multi-Tier Cultivation Rooms (MCR) from Weiss Gallenkamp have been designed for user-friendliness, ease of installation and flexibility. They are ideal for reseach involving Arabidopsis and similar sized plants.

MCR’s can be assembled and fully operational in a short space of time, making them the ideal solution for immediate requirements. In addition to this, MCR’s are exceptionally versatile as they can be fitted with a number of different shelf and lighting options.

Lighting

Lighting can be specified by the user, and is available in racks of 3 or 4 tiers. MCR's can be supplied with between two and six light racks depending on the user requirement. 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. The lighting modules comprise a frame and rear mounted perforated sheet incorporating radial fans to distribute conditions/mixed air evenly over the specimens.

Lighting in the MCR range provides medium intensity of 250 µmol m-2s-1 @ 300mm for the 3 tier version, and 180 µmol m-2s-1 @ 300mm for the 4 tier version. Lighting racks are supplied with fluorescent lamps, which are dimmable from an intensity of 100% down to 10%.

Users also have the option of adding light boxes, within which specimens can be exposed to a different temperature than that of the room, so users can have different conditions within the same room- something not previously offered with the Standard and High Specification Growth Room ranges.

Refrigeration

Cooling for the MCR range is designed for maximum energy efficiency, as the unit senses when it is required to be in operation Once it reaches the required conditions it will cease to operate, until called upon again to maintain the set conditions.
