The construction of walk-in controlled environmental chambers that achieve high accuracy at low cost is described. These chambers are capable of maintaining air temperatures at 15 - 35° ± 0.5°C. Long term (weekly) humidity stability averages 75% RH at ±6%. The described units are useful for large-scale bioassay experiments.
