A climate chamber is specialized equipment designed to maintain specific artificial conditions over extended periods. The device simulates temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, air movement, and ultraviolet radiation intensity.
Climate chambers are widely used in medicine, pharmaceutics for the creation and testing of vaccines, drugs, devices, analyzes and experiments. Before buying equipment it is important to pay attention to a number of criteria:
Temperature range. Some studies require extreme temperature conditions, so the device must provide the necessary parameters.
Humidity level — control of the required humidity levels inside the chamber.
Stability and accuracy. These characteristics affect the reliability of research.
Volume — the size of the internal space must be appropriate for the number of samples to be tested.
Parameters to be programmed.
Compliance with safety requirements.
Energy capacity — consideration of energy consumption and efficiency reduces energy costs.
Despite the cost, a climate chamber should have user-friendly software and an interface that allows for easy control by personnel. Additional functions such as monitoring and data recording provide opportunities to analyze results and document processes.
Depending on the functionality and the way of regulating parameters, there are several main types of climate chambers:
Heat-cold-humidity. The device controls humidity, simulates temperature, creates warm and cold conditions.
Heat-cold-moisture. The device controls temperature and humidity values.
Peltier technology. The chambers operate based on the principles of thermoelectric cooling. This makes it easy to create narrow temperature ranges for high precision observations.
Before buying a climate chamber, it is important to consider the needs of the laboratory and the requirements of the research. A «heat-cold-moisture» chamber provides full control over parameters, generating both cold and heat. If cold temperature ranges are not required, a «heat-moisture» chamber may be a suitable option. For specific analyses, chambers with Peltier technology can be particularly useful.
