Aquarec Water Recirculation System

We are pleased to supply the Aquarec Water Re-circulation System. This system features a particle removal cartridge and ion exchange (deionising) resin for low ionic content water. The purified feed water is passed through a powerful ultraviolet lamp system to reduce bacterial contamination in the chamber. The used water from this chamber is collected in an internal reservoir and continuously re-circulated through the cartridges and UV to create a constant supply of purified water to the chamber. The cartridges are fully disposable and easy to install. A resin colour change indicates when the deioniser cartridge is due to be changed. Please contact us to find out more.

Multi-Tier Cultivation Rooms

Our Multi-Tier Cultivation Rooms are easy to install and easy to use. In fact, they are so quick to install that they make perfect solutions for immediate requirements. They are ideally suitable for research that involves Arabidopsis and other similar sized plants. Our multi-tier cultivation rooms are flexible and can be fitted with different shelf and lighting options to suit your requirements. They also feature an automatic refrigeration system whereby the unit senses the conditions and operates when needed to maintain the set conditions. Please download our brochure in full on our website.

New LED Plant Growth Technology

We are pleased to supply the new Fitotron SGC 120 LED Plant Growth Chamber. This technology follows a relatively new concept that is beginning to gain recognition in the industry. The Fitotron SGC 120 LED features an adjustable spectrum and irradiance level, multiple shelving levels, a touch screen controller enables easy operation, low energy consumption, adjustable LED wavelength, and more. It is effective for accurate phytochrome research, reduced heat radiation towards plants, reduced running costs, and enables comparative studies of plants under different lighting types. Different colour LED lights have proven effective in plant growth and are also beneficial by emitting considerably less heat compared to other sources of lighting.

Service Support

We provide first class service support for our environmental test chambers, plant growth chambers and rooms, pharmaceutical stability chambers, laboratory ovens, temperature test chambers and climatic stress testing chambers. Our highly skilled engineers are based throughout the UK to provide fast and efficient service support when it is needed.
