CEFAS26-83 Request for Quotation for Controllable Plant Growth Chamber
This sits below the typical range for Laboratory & Precision Equipment contracts — a smaller, more accessible award. Based on 9,869 valued Laboratory & Precision Equipment tenders in our corpus.
Cefas requires a plant growth chamber for the growth of microalgal cultures under controlled conditions.
The chamber needs to provide consistent lighting and temperature throughout with several shelves to allow for high efficiency growth of cultures held in tissue culture flasks.
The cultures need to be maintained for prolonged periods of time with growth conditions optimised towards maximum achievable cell growth rates and densities.
A large internal capacity is required in order to maintain a high number of culture flasks of either the same or multiple species of marine microalgae and freshwater cyanobacteria.
Options for gas or electrical lines into the unit are desirable but not essential.
The unit will be expected to operate in a laboratory environment with external temperatures between 15-25 °C.
As the primary use will be for the growth of marine microalgal cultures in seawater gro…
