Plant growth chambers

Plant growth chambers require constant monitoring of temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide to maintain an optimal environment. Vaisala's instruments provide reliable and accurate measurements, which are a must in any research application.

 

Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide Probe GMP343

Accurate and rugged probe-type instrument for ecological measurements. Diffusion based design - no sampling systems needed. A flow-through model is also available.

Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide Transmitter Series GMT220

Designed for harsh and humid environments. Provides several alternatives for measurement range from ppm to percentage level. The housing is IP65 (NEMA 4) compliant.

Vaisala CARBOCAP® Hand-Held Carbon Dioxide Meter GM70

Hand-held meter for various spot-checking applications, like laboratories, greenhouses and mushroom farms. Features several alternatives for the measurement range from ppm to percentage level.

Vaisala HUMICAP® OEM Modules

A wide range of OEM modules for relative humidity and temperature applications.
