The lab is equipped with a low pressure flow-through chamber The lab is equipped with a low pressure flow-through chamber. This simulation chamber can be chilled to simulate flow-through in Mars-like conditions. It can be used to simulate pressure, temperature, UV illumination and has the facility to regulate the atmospheric gas composition by means of gas mass flow controllers. As students are discussing next steps and future research ideas (see Teacher Note) https://www.astrobiology.ac.uk/facilities/low-pressure-flow-through-chamber
