Laboratory germination table

Incubators

“ The germination test is made to establish the maximum number of seed which can germinate under optimum conditions (i.e. light, moisture and temperature). This information is important for the seed plant manager to determine and keep records of the quality and value of the seed lot and also for the nursery manager to determine how many seed needs to be sown in each cell. Furthermore, it gives the nursery manager a good idea how many seedlings he can expect from a specific seed lot. ”

Presentation

This germination system, known by the name of "Copenhagen table" or "Jakobson table" can provide a controlled environment for the seeds to be tested. This environment is achieved by providing the seeds with a constant temperature and an accurately controlled moisture level, all the seed samples receiving the same treatment.

The test bed consists of a number of glass strips in parallel above a waterreservoir. Between the strips there are grooves which provide access to the waterreservoir. The whole construction is made out of stainless steel 304. The base of the table is a stainless steel frame. Within this frame a compartment is provided in which the temperature controlsystem, the waterbath with heatingelement and the circulation- pump is located. The water in the reservoir circulate through this waterbath where the temperature of the water is controlled by an electronic digital temperature controller. This will give an accurately water temperature
