Description

We are seeking to procure a Plant Growth Room to be designed, delivered and installed at University of Exeter's Streatham Campus, in an existing laboratory. We also require ongoing service and maintenance support throughout the life of any subsequent contract.

The Plant Growth Room must be almost air-tight so that it can be maintained at a very slight positive pressure with continuous inputs of air containing 13C labelled carbon dioxide, resulting in a slow leak out of the chamber into the surrounding laboratory.

The room will be used to grow a range of plants/crops over long-time periods, such that crops, for example, can complete their full lifecycles.

Our full technical requirements can be found in document 'UOE.2022.086.MB - Technical Specification'.
