Features & Specifications
The advanced technology of the GC 400 is ideal for tests under different climatic and lighting conditions such as required for plant growth, seed germination, acclimatization of plants, culture of plant cells and tissues, genetic manipulations of plants, cultivation of protoplasm and cells, incubation and rearing of insects.
Lighting, programmable at five levels and from three directions, simulates moving sunlight. Humidity is controlled psychrometrically, using wet and dry bulb temperatures, providing sensitive and accurate measurement. Altitude is taken into account to calculate the correct humidity value to be applied.
An on-board graphic controller with upgradeable memory offers ten program memories, each with nine steps. Option control via PC is possible with the NüveGrowth™ software that gives even greater versatility. Comprehensive diagnostics ensure that any fault is rapidly analyzed, getting the unit operational in no time. Anciliary equipment such as shakers and stirrers can be operated inside the chamber.
