Seed Storage Cabinets
Your seed storage chamber installation partner
Facilities housing seed storage cabinets are predominant in the agricultural and wider conservation industries. Seed banks, plant breeding facilities, processing plants and other agricultural institutions, all require specifically engineered chamber solutions for precise environmental control.​
Before cultivation and distribution, preservation processes are paramount and only achievable via seed storage cabinets, chambers and cold rooms which endorse strict temperature and humidity conditions. In turn, this preserves integrity, reduces respiration and prevents deterioration.
Seed storage chamber offering:
The MB3 Technical cold storage portfolio includes reach-in chambers, walk-in chambers or cold room builds and installations that can be specifically engineered to meet your storage needs.
Our expertise in delivering compliant storage ensures that every design element is constructed with compliance as the foremost consideration.​ We advocate modular structures that can accommodate the various storage container sizes and dimensions, including customisable racks and shelves, including solutions from cabinet-style accommodation to large-scale storage.

Meeting your seed storage cabinet & chamber requirements
Seed storage cabinets, chambers or cold rooms are built to enable seed compliance with guidelines established by the ISTA and FAO, for example, seed moisture content. Per these international standards, storage designs should involve features to facilitate temperature and humidity control.
​
Reliable measurement systems will closely monitor environmental parameters as well as airflow uniformity and distribution. A design that embodies sufficient air circulation can successfully prevent the buildup of heat and moisture, which can affect seed viability and quality.​
Seed storage
Short and long-term storage
Various seed types as well as genetic resources and breeding materials will need specific storage conditions. Chambers that offer precise regulation of critical parameters serve as the ideal storage setting.
​
As cold temperatures are endorsed to slow metabolism and minimize deterioration, cold storage solutions like cold rooms, refrigerators, or ultra-low temperature freezers are amongst those employed.
​
Long-term storage is achieved through controlled ultra-low-temperature chambers. These ensure the meticulous conditions needed to prevent damage throughout the freeze-store process.
Seed processing and conditioning
Several techniques within processing and conditioning are required before storage, all of which employ strict temperature and humidity control to improve quality and viability.
​
Seed storage chambers are actively involved in drying, scarification, stratification, priming, or other conditioning treatments. During the preparation process, for example, temperature and ultra-low tempurature chambers will be deployed during scarification and stratification to break dormancy and promote uniform germination.
​
The drying process further relies on precise temperature and humidity control to reduce moisture content and mitigate any effects of overheating or under-drying.
Agricultural research
Moving beyond storage, optimal storage conditions for germination tests, viability assays, genetic studies, and other research activities can be met through various chambers.
​
These include incubators, or environmental chambers which provide additional testing conditions as well as controlled temperature environments tailored to specific research requirements.
