ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMBERS FOR INSECT RESEARCH
From tiny insects to big discoveries! Environmental chambers play a crucial role in insect rearing and research, providing controlled conditions for studying host-microorganism interactions, including those involving Drosophila melanogaster. By maintaining precise temperature, humidity, and (most times) lighting parameters, these chambers enable researchers to focus on understanding immunity, pathogen resistance, and symbiotic relationships in insects. […]
OUR COTTON JOURNEY CONTINUES!
As the plants have matured, they’ve reached the boll development stage, showcasing the power of ideal environmental and light conditions within our chambers. Leaves are drying, and our organic cotton is well on its way to fulfilling its intended research purpose. Stay tuned as we embark on our next chapter: Growing the luxurious Sea Island […]
BREWING A BETTER FUTURE FOR COFFEE
At the Plant-Environment Interactions Lab from CEF’s Associate Laboratory TERRA, researchers are utilizing Aralab’s plant growth chambers for their Coffee cultivars Research! By simulating the effects of climate change on coffee plants, our technology is supporting researchers in understanding the impact of rising temperatures and CO2 levels. This research aims to ensure the continued success […]
FRESH GREENS – FITOCLIMA 32.000 GROWTH ROOM
This is a FitoClima 32.000 PLH Growth Room filled with an array of delicious, pesticide-free greens! From germination trays to medium-sized veggies, our chambers create the perfect environment for healthy and delicious produce that grow all year round. (Our team enjoyed a delicious mix of lettuces, parsley, watercress, and basil, all grown right here at […]
NEW FITOCLIMA 600 & 1200 BIO CHAMBERS
New highlights video of the amazingly versatile FitoClima ‘reach-in’ environmental chambers for plant growth and research. Perfect for life science applications that require a precise and consistent control of temperature, humidity, light intensity, air flow, or CO2. From tissue culture or Arabidopsis, or even tall plants that require high light intensity, Aralab Growth chambers offer […]
HELPING FARMERS. FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE
We shared with SciMed (Asia) the delivery and installation of two environmental chambers at Syngenta Asia Pacific. Research aims to help farmers improve their livelihoods, addressing urgent challenges like climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss. We are grateful that our chambers offer value in the research work carried out to find solutions to deal […]
UNDERSTANDING BEES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMBERS
The Microbial Genomics and Symbiosis Lab research group of Intituto Gulbenkian de Ciência is using social bees as a model system to study the ecology, evolution and function of microorganisms. Social bees, including honey and bumble bees, possess a unique gut microbiota that is still poorly understood. The aim of the current research is to […]
THE POWER OF THE SEEDS
The Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED) in Evora is using seeds and putting them to work for the environment. MED UEvora is using Aralab’s drying, storage and germination chambers, for their seed viability testing experiments, which are crucial for their research in restoring local flora, creating temporary Mediterranean ponds and rehabilitating habitats. […]
CUTTING EDGE OF SCIENCE
This month we were privileged to visit the Champalimaud Foundation, where Champalimaud Research is based. The goal of Champalimaud Research is to perform world-leading fundamental and translational research focused on the fields of neuroscience, physiology and cancer. The focus of our visit was the ‘Fly Platform’. A multi-room facility, central to all researchers using Drosophila […]
PHENOTYPING IN PLANT GROWTH CHAMBER
Plant Phenotyping helps to analyse, determine or predict all or part of plant phenotype – the expressed traits of a plant, as influenced by genetic make-up and changes in the environment. This ability and knowledge of these traits is a vital process in crop improvement programs. An Aralab customer – ORO AGRI – develops and […]
