Seed Germinator

Seed germinators are used for conducting a number of experiments on different types of seeds under varying conditions of humidity and temperature. Using seed germinators, varying atmospheric conditions can be created within the chamber without the need of going outside. Apart from the usual germination applications, these seed germinators are also used for other testing applications involving plants, tissues, micro-organisms, electronic components, etc. Seed germinators are also used in enzyme reaction studies, tissue culture applications, growth observation studies, fermentation analysis and several other specialized applications in laboratories.

Seed germinators are designed in such a way that they are able to control the crucial environmental parameters like humidity, temperature and illumination. Advanced technologies based on microprocessors are used for this purpose, which help create almost perfect and accurate environmental conditions ideal for any given germination study. They are made of double walled structure having two chambers, one inner and outer. The main components of a seed germinator includes a germinating cylinder and a temperature controller.

Seed germination can be of various types. For research purpose there are research seed germinator and there are economical germinators that are used as sprouters in different tissue culture industries and agro based industries.
