Columbus Instruments' Environmental Enclosures provide precise control over temperature (5°C to 40°C) and lighting, ensuring optimal conditions for diverse research needs. Designed to isolate subject chambers from ambient conditions, these enclosures allow researchers to replicate species-specific environments, improving data accuracy. With features like adjustable illumination and support for rapid "cold challenge" protocols, Environmental Enclosures offer flexibility for advanced energy expenditure and substrate utilization studies.
