Our unique technology generates a two dimensional matrix of temperature to give all possible combinations from max-max to min-min. Ideal for day/night experiments to investigate temperature tolerance and effect on biological processes. Can be customised with individually-tuned LEDs for variable and precise lighting. Suitable for all small biological organisms such as seeds, bacteria, fungi, nematodes etc. Also good for accelerated ageing studies on physical and organic materials (plastics etc). IOT-capable for remote access or can be used standalone.
Highly efficient bi-directional temperature gradient system for investigating responses to temperature shifts of seeds, small plants, insects, micro-organisms or any small component or material. The design is based on the fact that a temperature gradient results if one edge of a square aluminium plate is heated and the opposite edge is cooled.
The gradient runs in one direction for part of the 24 hour cycle and can then be automatically switched to run at a right angle to its original direction for the remainder of the cycle, to provide all possible combinations of minimum and maximum temperatures.
Standard product can be customised in many ways by us, to your exact needs.
