LANSING – Phenometrics has developed a new LED light that will benefit scientists who need to simulate outdoor growing conditions. The PBR101 is a computer controlled compact desktop Photo Bioreactor system that allows the user to simulate aquatic pond conditions using temperature change and diurnal light cycles.
This week Phenometrics introduced the FSL-200 Full Spectrum Light system, which produce a more accurate solar spectrum, compared to the current LED light that comes standard with the PBR-101. Customers may request an onsite upgrade or to send their PBRs back to the Phenometrics for modification.
“Customers have been asking for this product for years,” Jody Burgess, President and CEO, “Our engineering team at the Kramer Lab at Michigan State University designed and tested this light system under laboratory conditions for the past two years. We are proud to bring this important innovation to our customer base.”
Since the FSL-200 more closely matches the spectrum of sunlight, it will improve data results displayed by the Algal Command control software, which controls the photo bioreactors both individually and in a matrix of up to 12 PBRs.
The FSL-200 is also six times brighter and uses more power. Each PBR-101 unit needs to be upgraded with new boards and a power supply. The cost of the light will include the cost of internal board and power modification.
