growth chambers

[Lynne Reuber]

<x-flowed>Thanks to all who replied to my queries about their experiences with
different growth chambers.  In general, there seem to be a lot of happy
chamber users out there--I didn't hear many complaints about particular
models.  A quick summary:

Convirons:  A lot of Conviron fans out there.  The E7/2 model was mentioned
several times.

Percivals:  A couple of complaints, but several people wrote to say that
they had good results with AR or CU series chambers (and one with I series
incubators). However, at least one respondent specifically preferred
Convirons over Percivals.

Others:
Enconair BigFoot chambers got a good rating from one user for space
efficiency and competitive pricing.

One scientist used Sanyo incubators with self-installed lights.

EGC growth rooms received a recommendation.
