A light chamber (or growth chamber) is a specialized climate chamber that, in addition to controlling temperature and humidity, also manages lighting. This makes it ideal for plants, seeds, and small living organisms such as insects and bacteria, where light is a key parameter for development.
The choice depends on the application: Daylamp for general solar simulation, Fluolamp for accelerated plant growth, Biolamp for insects and bacteria, Arablamp for Arabidopsis, ICHlamp for pharmaceutical photostability testing. If you have any questions, our technical team will recommend the optimal solution based on your type of testing.
Yes, you can equip your chamber with specific ICHlamp lamps to perform photostability tests according to the ICH Q1B guidelines on active substances and medicinal products. ICHlamp lamps emit according to the D65 standard defined in ISO 10977 (1993).
Yes, the lighting is fully adjustable and dimmable. You can program day/night cycles, variable intensities, and custom time sequences using the revoFACEtouchscreen controller.
Absolutely. FDM has a dedicated CUSTOM division that develops custom solutions: special volumes, cable ports, specific filters, air exchange systems, special lighting, and much more. Tell us your specific needs and we'll design the ideal chamber.
A growth chamber is a climate chamber equipped with a controlled lighting system, designed to simulate natural environmental conditions. It is used for the accelerated growth of plants, seeds, insects, and microorganisms under reproducible conditions. The LCB-LCS series FDM growth chambers simultaneously control temperature, humidity, and lighting with programmable day/night cycles.
FDM growth chambers are used for Arabidopsis thaliana (with a dedicated Arablamp ), crop plants, germinating seeds, insects (Drosophila, mosquitoes, butterflies), bacteria, and plant cell cultures. The choice of lamp and environmental parameters is customized based on the organism and the research protocol.
Yes. The revoFACE controller allows you to program up to 10 programs with 50 segments each, including day/night cycles with gradual light transitions (simulated sunrise/sunset), temperature changes, and humidity. Each parameter is independently adjustable to reproduce any seasonal condition.
The LED lamps in FDM growth chambers have an average lifespan of 50,000 hours, much longer than traditional fluorescent lamps. LED technology ensures spectral stability over time, reduced power consumption, and lower heat production inside the chamber. Replacement is simple and requires no recalibration.
Yes. By equipping the chamber with ICHlamp lamps compliant with the D65 standard (ISO 10977), it is possible to perform photostability tests according to the ICH Q1B guidelines. This way, the same chamber can be used for both botanical research and pharmaceutical validation, maximizing your investment.
