Portable Walk-In Grow Chambers (Also known as 'Pre-Built')
Biora portable chambers are pre-built at one of MineARC’s three manufacturing locations, then shipped to the site, ready for immediate use.
Ideal for both outdoor and indoor locations (with enough access), the fully portable unit is designed to be plug and play; with minimal on-site installation work required.
The robust structure features insulated panelling; based on the expected external temperature in order to ensure it can maintain the required internal conditions. Road transportable thanks to integrated lifting lugs; each chamber undergoes in-house analysis to ensure compliance with local building codes for lifting and roof loads.

Walk-in grow chambers provide the control and repeatability needed to efficiently sustain precise conditions and maximise production capabilities, product quality and security. These grow rooms can also be engineered to comply to with the necessary standards for research-based applications.
Applications that would benefit from a grow room include:
Vertical Farming Solutions
Vertical farming is increasingly playing an important role in any country’s food security policy, including a means to supplementing traditional
farming supply chains. This is particularly relevant when it comes to high value crops and seasonal produce.
With prevalent issues such as climate change, loss of arable land and a global population set to reach 10 billion by 2050, vertical farming offers
the flexibility of growing food close to the point of consumption; with less reliance on inputs such as water, fertilisers and chemicals when compared to traditional agricultural methods.
Biora’s specialised vertical farming design provides an uniquely competitive advantage with regards to crop volume; by providing more space, better redundancies and guaranteed consistency when compared to other containerised farming solutions.
Vertical Farming Features
- Robust construction with insulated paneling
- Customisable grow room configurations allowing segregation of grow, mechanical and preparation areas
- Individual monitoring and dosing within each grow zone to allow tailored plant growth recipes
- Intuitive HMI control system with customisable programs, data logging and remote access
- CO2 monitoring and enrichment options
- Uniform temperature and humidity control
- Optimised energy efficiency by controlling light intensity and day length across different grow zones
- Independent airflow control within each grow zone, to expedite the growing process
- Water purification and sterilisation process to reduce risk of water borne pathogens
- Expert grower advice to ensure crop success

Lighting
Mitra X
Featuring a modular design, an innovative cooling solution, and IP67
dust and water resistance, MITRA X is any growers dream come
true. Designed to work both indoors and in greenhouses, MITRA X is
available in a host of different modules and spectral options making
it the most versatile and efficient LED grow light on the market. HELIOCORE
HelioCORE takes the guess work out of advanced lighting control.
Apply custom lighting strategies, make adjustments based on
predictive algorithms and enjoy complete control over intensities
and spectra from any type of device. ELIXIA
ELIXIA is an essential tool for any greenhouse or indoor operation
seeking to deliver superior crop quality. Featuring up to four
tuneable wavelengths, variable light intensities, and exceptional
build quality, ELIXIA allows you to apply crop-specific lighting
strategies via primary and secondary optic lens plates. DYNA
Featuring nine individually controlled wavelengths ranging from
380nm (UVA) to 735nm (Far-Red), DYNA is without question the
worlds most flexible LED grow light. Designed with plant scientists
in mind and with infinite spectral options, DYNA is at home in any
research or agtech environment. Floor Plan

- Data export and import options
- Multiple language support
- Push notifications based on custom alert settings
- Data protection and security options
Laboratory Standards Compliance
Biora Walk-In Chambers can be engineered specifically to meet laboratory specifications and standards; including physical containment, bio security and ISO certifications. MineARC Engineers have experience in developing PC2 and BC2 compliant, purpose-built chambers to meet these stringent requirements.
Features
- Anteroom
- Coved walls and flooring
- Bio-security, anti-static vinyl flooring
- Cleanroom-grade insulated paneling
- HEPA filtration
- Plenum to control air distribution (unidirectional and non-unidirectional)
- Concealed ducting and electrical
Construction and Insulation
All exterior walls of the Biora Walk-in Growth Chamber are constructed of XFLAM insulated panels, composed of a polyurethane foam core. With a high thermal insulation capacity, the panels will meet the most demanding temperature control requirements; however are available in higher R-Values for extreme climates.
With excellent aesthetics, the panels are easily washable and resistant to chemical spills and corrosion.
Doors
MineARC offers a range of entry and exit options, designed to suit the requirements of a Biora Walk-In Chamber.
They are available in two configurations – swinging or sliding; with drop seals and air curtains as an optional inclusion for cleanrooms and
research-grade specifications.
Other options include observation windows, keyed magnetic locks and security ID systems.
Flooring
Our vinyl flooring is designed to meet the required specifications of each particular chamber, with various grades and colours available.
Flooring is standard on all clean rooms for a hospital-grade result; including coving and high to walls, as well as a specialised corner system
designed to reduce dirt build up.
HVAC and Air Flow
Biora Walk-in Chambers are fitted with specialist HVAC, utilising either air or water cooled systems. All ducted systems are accessible via a
roof plenum to enable easy maintenance and repairs.
The Biora HVAC system has been specifically designed to ensure it can reliably control the environment to satisfy any research-grade
application. Rooms can be controlled as a single zone, or individually; ideal for eliminating micro-climates or enabling different grow areas to
maintain varying temperature, humidity and airflow gradients.
Our Biora chambers are engineered to achieve the correct airflow required for your project – whether it’s unidirectional or non-unidirectional;
horizontal or vertical. A range of filter options including HEPA filtration can be included in the chamber build.
Control Options
Carbon Dioxide and Other gases
The monitoring and control of oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) is an optional feature of all Biora Walk-In Chambers. For rapid CO2 removal, MineARC scrubbing technology can be utilized to reduce levels within the system to below 250ppm (0.025%). Alternatively, CO2 enrichment can be included within the chamber.
Irrigation and Fertilisation
Automating irrigation improves productivity and plant quality by making irrigation more uniform. MineARC’s drip or ebb flow system can be connected into the HMI allowing different automated irrigation options based on time and light intensity. Different grow areas can have different irrigation rates and frequencies.
Biora Standalone Scrubber
The Biora Stand Alone Scrubber is a compact air regenerative system that ‘scrubs’ carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air within enclosed spaces; allowing for complete control of CO2 levels for research applications. The addition of the system permits an enclosed space that is ventilated from the outside to be converted to a fully isolated, controlled environment.
