Plant Growth Chambers.
Programmable temperature, humidity, light, photoperiod and optional gas conditions for repeatable botanical, agricultural and biological research.
Reproduce the climate around the plant—not just the room.
ISOTECH Plant Growth Chambers and Seed Germinators create controlled atmospheric conditions for germination, cultivation and laboratory growth experiments.
Researchers can regulate temperature, humidity, light intensity, photoperiod and optional CO2 or UV conditions to study plant breeding, genetics, photosynthesis, nutrition, pathology, entomology and physiology.
Published chamber options span compact reach-in research equipment through larger growth-room systems. Final performance, growing volume, lighting and gas control are selected around the species and experiment.
Build a repeatable 24-hour growth cycle.
Coordinate light, temperature, humidity, fresh air and optional gas conditions across day, transition and night phases.
Transition without shock
Ramp light and environmental setpoints into the programmed day condition.
Controlled photon delivery
Maintain the selected spectrum and intensity with the defined temperature-RH condition.
Programme the decline
Reduce light and shift setpoints through timed segments rather than abrupt switching.
Dark-cycle stability
Hold lights-off temperature and humidity while continuing airflow and monitoring.

Stable conditions across leaves, shelves and growth height.
The chamber coordinates refrigeration, resistive temperature regulation, vapour humidification and controlled fresh-air exchange to create repeatable growing conditions.
Horizontal air refresh
Air is distributed from both chamber sides and returned through the circulation system for uniform leaf-surface exchange.
Precise refrigeration
A self-contained air-cooled condensing unit, hot-gas bypass, modulating valve and pressure transducers support stable cooling.
Temperature and humidity sensing
Published ITPGC300 equipment uses a VAISALA HMP60 sensor with 0.1°C and 0.1% RH display precision.
Durable chamber shell
SUS304 stainless-steel interior, carbon-steel outer body, dual flush-mounted doors and four stable castors are referenced.
Flexible water supply
The reference configuration highlights flexible water-supply options for constant-climate operation.
Programme the climate and keep the experiment visible.
The HMI touchscreen supports time-segment and real-time programming, environmental readout, alarms, data logging and remote control.
Real-time profiles
Programme temperature, humidity and lighting across timed experiment segments.
Logging and open export
Internal logging with USB export supports experiment records in an open format.
App and management software
Published equipment includes smartphone remote control and ISOTECH management software.
Connected hardware
RS-232/485, networking and USB support integration and fast downloads.
Limits, alarms and automatic protection around the study.
Independent monitoring responds to temperature, humidity and pressure limits while visual, audible and remote notifications support operator awareness.

Answers covering purpose, benefits, chamber formats, applications, lighting, gas control, selection and maintenance.
A plant growth chamber, phytron or phytotron is an enclosed system that controls temperature, humidity, light, photoperiod and optional CO2 for plant development and research.
It isolates and reproduces environmental variables, improves experiment repeatability, supports year-round studies and enables direct comparison between programmed conditions.
ISOTECH publishes compact, reach-in and larger walk-in formats. The suitable format depends on plant count, height, experiment access and available facility space.
Applications include germination, agricultural research, breeding, genetics, photosynthesis, nutrition, pathology, entomology, physiology, environmental science and education.
Yes. Published options include cool-white, full-spectrum, blue, red, far-red, RGB and multi-channel lighting with independent 0%-100% dimming.
Optional carbon-dioxide regulation is published using sensing, gas analysis and valve control, with reference ranges from ambient to 2,000 or 5,000 ppm.
Uniform airflow reduces local temperature, humidity and gas differences and supports consistent exchange across leaf surfaces and shelf positions.
Define plant species, quantity, maximum growth height, shelf layout, temperature-RH programme, light spectrum and intensity, gas needs, fresh-air rate and room utilities.
Yes. Chamber volume, height, shelves, lighting, environmental range, fresh air, CO2, UV, data systems and remote management can be configured by project.
Regular cleaning, sensor and light calibration, airflow inspection, water-system hygiene and preventive refrigeration maintenance support reliable experiments and long equipment life.
