Access to cold testing chambers
Research on plant cold tolerance using four test chambers.
Test material can be brought in from external sources.
Detailed analysis of frost damage – temperature-controlled support facilities for sample preprocessing and growth facilities for continued cultivation of the material.
The cold testing chambers enables preprocessing and cold exposure of plant material down to -70°C in programmable test chambers. Plant material can also be brought in by the user for testing according to provided instructions. Continued cultivation is possible in dedicated growth facilities, and damage assessments can be conducted in support facilities.
The service includes experiment setup, preprocessing, exposure treatments, continued cultivation and/or damage assessments, as well as documentation of exposure and experimental conditions.
Sample collection
Preprocessing and damage assessment using agreed methods.
Target groups
Researchers, research groups, research communities, research networks, research projects, research organizations, companies.
