Growth Chamber

Problem Statement

Whilst growth chambers for the cultivation of plants are widely available in a variety of configurations, from the simple cold frame to advanced climate control devices, they are generally unsuitable for growing small lower plants such as marchantia in a scientific setting. The reason for this is two-fold; as commercially produced growth chambers are usually designed to grow higher plants such as wheat, they are typically very large pieces of equipment. Furthermore, growth chambers with the ability to perform active climate control are costly and have a much greater feature set than is required for the controlled cultivation of marchantia.

In light of this, the problem statement for the Marchantia Growth Facility (MGF) was stated as follows;
