Constant climate chamber for keeping mice
Temperature setting range: 0 °C to +35 °C | Humidity setting range: 10 % rh to 90 % rh
Working range with illumination: +5 °C to +35 °C | Chamber volume: 749 litres | Compressed air dehumidification
Humans and animals are highly adaptable. A healthy body adjusts to
changing environmental conditions and sources of food without any problems.
At the Institute for Molecular Nutritional Medicine of the Technical University
of Munich, the question as to why the energy balance in some mammals gets
into difficulties, subsequently leading to being overweight or underweight, or
to diabetes type II, is being examined on the model organism of the mouse.
The mice are kept under controlled conditions, in two Memmert constant
climate chambers specially adapted for their keeping.
•t Efficient dehumidification of the chamber by means of compressed air
t for safe and stable humidity values in compliance with GV Solas guidelines
•t Air exchange rate (max. 38 times per hour) can be controlled by
t adjusting the speed of the exhaust air motor
•t Programme controlled LED light strips (on 2 levels), adjustable in steps
t of 1 % (5,500 K cold white or 2,700 K warm white); adjustment angle 45 °
•t Developed in cooperation with the Institute for Molecular Nutritional
t Medicine of the Technical University of Munich headed by Prof. Dr. Klingenspor
