Insect growth chamber LCB-LCS

plantfloor-standingon casters

Overview
Growth and LED-illuminated climate chambers for plant growth, insect rearing and ICH Q1B photostability testing. Full control of lighting spectrum and cycles, temperature and humidity. Manufactured in Italy by FDM (F.lli Della Marca).

Applications

• ICH Q1B photostability testing for pharmaceuticals
• Plant growth, phenotyping and crop research
• Insect rearing and entomology studies
• Accelerated aging and solar simulation tests

Lighting options

• Daylamp – reproduces natural sunlight spectrum
• Fluolamp – spectrum optimized for accelerated plant growth
• Biolamp – for insect incubation and microbiology
• Arablamp – dedicated spectrum for Arabidopsis and model plants
• ICHlamp – D65 / ISO 10977 compliant for ICH photostability tests
• Xenon – UV‑VIS solar radiation simulation for aging tests

Control systems

• revoFACE – color touchscreen, programmable cycles (up to 10 programs × 50 segments), ramps, USB export, RS485/Ethernet connectivity
• stillFACE – dual high‑visibility displays for temperature and humidity, manual setpoints, continuous monitoring and alarms

Accessories and configurable options

• IQ/OQ documentation
• Humidity control below 10°C
• Dehumidification down to 2% RH
• Ventilation filter
• Cable pass‑through / access port
• Glass observation door
• Internal electrical socket
• Self‑locking swivel wheels
• Water filtration system
• CO2 regulation system

Notes on operation
LED lamps are dimmable and programmable to simulate day/night cycles and custom light regimes. Ultrasonic humidification combined with forced ventilation ensures uniform distribution of temperature, humidity and illumination across shelves.
