Climate Chambers & Incubators

Q: Is a germination incubator the same as a plant growth chamber?

They overlap. A germination incubator controls temperature and light for seed on paper or trays, while a plant growth incubator offers more space and lighting for seedlings. The model listed here covers both uses.

Q: Why is a seed ageing box used?

Accelerated ageing is a vigour test. Seed is held at high temperature and humidity, then germinated. Lots that maintain germination after ageing are expected to store and establish better in the field.

Q: Can a drying oven be used for sterilisation?

Drying ovens are intended for drying and moisture determination. Dry-heat sterilisation of glassware needs higher, sustained temperatures, which a heat sterilizer oven is designed to provide, so separate units are recommended where both tasks are routine.

Benchtop and cabinet chambers that control temperature, humidity and light for seed testing, germination, microbial incubation, drying and sterilisation.

Controlled cabinets for seed and sample work

Climate chambers and incubators provide a precise, enclosed environment for smaller batches than a walk-in room. Seed testing laboratories use germination incubators and ageing boxes to measure germination and vigour, and low-temperature, low-humidity cabinets to keep working seed samples. Mould incubators support microbiology and food spoilage studies, while drying ovens and heat sterilisers prepare samples, glassware and tools. Universities, seed certification centres, plant protection laboratories and food laboratories rely on these cabinets daily. ASFAN supplies, installs and supports them and helps specify complete seed and microbiology laboratories.

ASFAN supplies and supports climate chambers, seed incubators and laboratory ovens for universities, seed centres and laboratories across the UAE.

Germination and vigour testing

Controlled temperature, humidity and light let seed laboratories run standard germination tests and compare seed lots on a consistent, repeatable basis.

Accelerated ageing

Seed ageing boxes expose seed to high temperature and humidity for a defined period, revealing differences in vigour and storability between lots before sale or sowing.

Short-term seed storage

Low temperature-humidity cabinets slow seed deterioration, keeping working samples, reference material and breeding seed viable between tests, seasons and planting cycles.

Microbiology and sample preparation

Mould incubators culture fungi at stable temperatures, while drying ovens and heat sterilisers dry samples and sterilise glassware for clean, reliable laboratory work.
