Hightech container

From the outside, the mobile research facility looks like a normal reefer container. Inside, however, is a high-tech research area equipped with no fewer than 10 climate-controlled spaces (for some 80 kg of fresh product per space) and modern measurement & monitoring equipment. The temperature, humidity and oxygen & carbon dioxide content can be regulated separately in each climatic chamber. More information
