Control Systems
Percival’s Intellus Ultra has been designed exclusively for plant biology research – a sophisticated tool for programming your chamber to satisfy almost all research needs. Still, the straight forward, user-friendly and practical menus – make programming easy.

Intellus Ultra
The Intellus Ultra lets you control temperature, humidity, CO2 and lighting from the outside of any Percival chamber. When combined with the Intellus Ultra Web Server and Software, these applications can be controlled remotely using a Windows based PC or Mobile 5.0 Treo 700 WX Palm Smart Phone
