FOR RESEARCH AND UNIVERSITIES
A controlled environment for real trials.
Repeatable light and watering, a camera on each crop, and a CSV of every reading, in a sealed cabinet that fits a lab bay or a container on campus.
HOW IT WOULD WORK FOR YOU
From first call to a routine.
01 · SET UP
One cabinet per treatment
Run each recipe on its own cabinet and the Brain keeps everything else the same. Per-shelf settings are coming soon.
02 · DAILY
Everything logged
Air temperature, humidity, water temperature and level, light and power use, around the clock, plus a photo of every tray each day.
03 · REMOTE
Check from your desk
See the trial and get alerts without walking to the lab. If the network drops, it keeps running and syncs later.
04 · END OF TRIAL
Export and analyse
Readings and photos come out against the tray they belong to, as CSV, ready for your own analysis.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions, answered.
How tightly is the climate controlled?
Lights and watering run to a fixed schedule and the cabinet holds its own climate. The cabinets do not have active cooling or CO₂ dosing. If your work needs those, a dedicated growth chamber is the better buy, and we will say so.
Do I get the raw data?
Yes. Every reading and photo exports as CSV. It is your data.
Can I run treatments side by side?
Today, one treatment per cabinet. Per-shelf settings for light hours and watering are coming soon.
Is it certified?
It is designed for food-crop trials, teaching and variety testing, not for GMP or clinical work.
Will you partner on a grant bid?
Yes. We are happy to be named as the growing partner on a bid. For example, an Innovate UK bid that needs a growing environment and real data.
What does it cost?
Cabinet prices are coming soon. A container on campus has a list price of £130,000 + VAT.
GOOD TO KNOW
Choosing the right equipment
Our cabinets suit food-crop trials, teaching and variety testing. Work that needs active cooling, CO₂ control or a certified environment is better served by a dedicated growth chamber, and we are happy to talk it through.

No farm to visit yet. A live walkthrough instead.
We are planning our first demo container. Until it is ready, we show you a running cabinet and the Brain on a thirty-minute video call, and answer your questions as we go.
