I once serviced a robot in a 4C room in Singapore, which didn't seem to
have any kind of dehumidification - or maybe

unlikely to mind, but it's SO much more comfortable to be in for hours.
I seem to remember he mentioned something like a comfort inflection
Anyone out there specifically design rooms for (protein) crystallization at ~22
deg and 4 deg C? If you have successes or failures and can share any design
specs with regard to vibration, temperature, and humidity tolerances, it would
be much appreciated to pass on to the architects for our
