RESEARCH & LABS
A growth chamber that keeps its own lab notebook.
Metro cabinets give research teams repeatable conditions, a record of every tray and remote monitoring, in a sealed footprint that fits a lab bay. Run three recipes side by side and export the lot.
REPEATABLE
Light and watering held to the same schedule, day after day. Per-shelf settings coming soon.
LOGGED
Sensor readings and a daily photo for every tray.
SEALED
Its own climate, in 61 × 61 cm or 118 × 78 cm.
REMOTE
Check a trial from your desk. It keeps running offline.
THE DASHBOARD
Three recipes. One clean dataset.
Run each trial on its own cabinet and the Brain keeps everything else equal. Per-shelf recipes are coming soon. Readings and photos land against the tray they belong to, ready to export when the trial ends.
- ● Per-shelf settings for light hours and watering (coming soon)
- ● Readings logged around the clock, photos daily
- ● Export to CSV for your own analysis

HOW IT COMPARES
Metro cabinet or a traditional growth chamber?
| Metro Solo or Duo | Typical growth chamber | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Food crops: microgreens, herbs, leafy greens | Any plant, with tighter control of every variable |
| Data | Logged per tray, with a daily photo, built in | Usually logs the chamber; cameras often extra |
| Climate control | Closed cabinet, lights and watering per cabinet (per shelf coming soon) | Active heating, cooling and often CO₂ control |
| Certification | Designed for food-crop work, not GMP or clinical use | Varies by model |
| Price | Coming soon | Ask your supplier |
If your work needs active cooling, CO₂ dosing or a certified environment, a dedicated growth chamber is the better choice, and we are happy to advise on the call.
What teams use it for
Trials and variety testing
Compare seeds, media or light recipes with everything else held the same.
Teaching
A full crop cycle in a fortnight, with data students can analyse.
Botanical research
Clean, consistent plant material grown to a written recipe.
University partnerships
We are looking for universities to host cabinets for student projects and shared research data.
