Product Overview/Applications
The MTR26 Plant Growth Chamber offers a growth area of 26ft² (2.4 m²) with a growth height of 24” (610mm) across two shelves. It is designed for short to medium height plants requiring moderate light intensity. The chamber is fully assembled, fits through standard doorways, and is suitable for confined ceiling spaces. Meditech provides options tailored to specific research needs.

Lighting
The chamber features a standard closed-loop lighting system using T8 fluorescent and halogen incandescent lamps, providing a broad lighting spectrum. The system allows precise control of light output, with a light intensity of 600 micromoles/m²/s. Lamp heat is managed by the refrigeration system.

Airflow
Airflow is distributed through two Meditech Uni-floor systems, ensuring uniform air distribution. The unit includes adjustable fresh air intake and exhaust ports, allowing up to 20 ft³/min (0.57m³/min) of air exchange.

Refrigeration
The chamber uses a self-contained water-cooled condensing unit with hot gas bypass for continuous compressor operation. An electronic modulating valve ensures tight temperature control and quiet operation.

Experiment Protection
User-programmable alarms track chamber operation against set points, providing accurate monitoring. Backup alarms and notifications are included, with contacts for building management system integration.
