Tender: Controllable Plant Growth Chamber for Marine Microalgae and Freshwater Cyanobacteria – Cefas

About

Cefas is seeking a supplier for a controllable plant growth chamber to culture marine microalgae and freshwater cyanobacteria under controlled conditions. The chamber must provide consistent lighting and temperature throughout, include several shelves to allow high-efficiency growth of cultures held in tissue culture flasks, support prolonged maintenance with conditions optimised towards maximum achievable cell growth rates and densities, and offer a large internal capacity to hold a high number of culture flasks of the same or multiple species. Options for gas or electrical lines into the unit are desirable but not essential, and the unit is expected to operate in a laboratory environment with external temperatures between 15–25 °C.
