Environmental Chambers

Overview

The BI houses two environmental chambers for temperature and humidity control:

Norlake Enviro Chamber Norlake Temperature Test Chamber (Model NSRI241WSW)

A large incubation chamber (24 cubic feet) with three inner shelves and digital controller, allows for stable incubation between 4°C to 70°C.

Caron Env Chamber Caron Environmental Chamber (Model 7000-10-1)

Two 10 cubic feet stacked chambers with digital temperature (5°C to 70°C, ±0.1°C; uniformity ±0.3°C) and humidity control (20% to 95% relative humidity, ±2%)*. Each unit has an insulated outer door, inner glass door and 3 internal adjustable shelves.

*Note: The Caron Environmental Chambers relative humidity and temperature combinations follow the unit’s “Standard Operating Range”, as a dryer is not available.
