Growing chamber

The PHENOTIC ISC includes 22 growth rooms, ranging from 10 m² to 30 m², and 6 climate-controlled cabinets of 1 m³ each. Temperature: regulated on average between 17°C and 28°C with a tolerance of ±1°C (other temperature ranges are also available). Humidity: maintained on average between 60% and 95%, with a tolerance of ±10% across the temperature range. Air renewal: provided to maintain stable CO₂ levels. 20 growth rooms are equipped with benches suitable for tall plants up to 120 cm, while floor-level cultivation is also possible. Le parc est homogène pour permettre de dupliquer un essai. Différents systèmes d’éclairage sont installés, avec une migration progressive vers un éclairage LED multi spectral.

  • Lighting is distributed two-thirds NaT and one-third HQI, with one 400W or 250W lamp per m², providing an intensity of 300 µmol/m²/s measured at 120 cm.Equipped with 6 to 7 channels (400 nm, 660 nm, 735 nm, 860 nm, white 3500K and 6000K), these rooms feature dimmable intensity, with a maximum of 300 µmol/m²/s at 120 cm, and a spatial heterogeneity of ±10%.White LEDs (3500K and 6000K) provide an intensity of 300 µmol/m²/s, with ±10% spatial uniformity at 30 cm.One module is fully gas-tight and equipped to monitor and control gas exchanges.Six 1 m³ growth cabinets are available:
  • 3 in non-confined zones and 3 in confined zones.
  • Temperature: up to 35°C
  • Humidity: from 55% minimum to 100%
  • Light intensity: 0 to 1500 µmol/m²/s
  • Additional CO₂ can be supplied into the chamber as required.
