My team and I are responsible for studying plant physiology at different levels of total pressure for future greenhouse design and implementation in outer space. KNF LABOPORT® pumps are able to provide and maintain acceptable vacuum or atmospheres of different composition precisely for long periods, a necessity in our research. Both portable and easy to operate; KNF pumps are convenient to use by our undergraduate researchers.
Our research is conducted within the Presidential Initiative for New Vision for Space Exploration, which calls for mans return to the Moon, to go to Mars and then to worlds beyond. In this respect, KNF LABOPORT® pumps are very important technical and engineering components of our laboratory system.
