Plant Growth Chamber for Microalgal Culture

Cefas is seeking a controllable plant growth chamber suitable for cultivating microalgal cultures under controlled laboratory conditions. The chamber must provide consistent lighting and temperature control with multiple shelves to support high-density culture growth using tissue culture flasks. Key requirements include: large internal capacity to maintain numerous culture flasks of marine microalgae and freshwater cyanobacteria species; ability to maintain cultures for extended periods with optimized growth conditions to maximize cell growth rates and densities; consistent environmental conditions suitable for laboratory operation in ambient temperatures of 15-25°C; capability to operate with marine microalgal cultures in seawater growth media. Desirable features include provisions for gas or electrical line connections, though these are not mandatory. Suppliers should submit quotations detailing specifications, capacity, control systems, and compatibility with seawater-based culture media.
