Climatic chamber
Description
Several research groups use this laboratory. It is mainly used for growing plants under different experimental conditions. The growth chamber has an electronic system for monitoring and control of environmental parameters, such as humidity, temperature and photoperiod. There are no particular hazard conditions in the lab activity.
