Plant growth chambers from
Percival Scientific

In the early 1950’s Percival became involved in creating the first commercially available plant growth chamber. This began the company’s tradition of designing and manufacturing chambers and rooms for the specific needs of plant research scientists. Percival offers a broad spectrum of chambers from bench-top models to extremely compact chambers with high light intensities of up to 1500 µmol /m² and special application chambers for Arabidopsis, plant tissue culture or algae.

Features

  • interior spaces from 0.23 to 3.6 m³
  • working areas from 0.28 to 2.0 m²
  • adjustable growing heights from 42 to 142 cm
  • broad temperature ranges and low temperature variation of ±0.5°C (all lights on)
  • adjustable high intensity lighting of up to 1250 µmol /m² s
  • flexible and easy programmable controller
  • all chambers equipped with SciWhite, IncuWhite, PetriClear or SciBrite LEDs

Options

Intellus Ultra Controller, humidification, recorders, CO2 enrichment and scrubber, closed or open loop dimmable lighting, temperature ranges from -10 to +50°C, water-cooled or remote air-cooled condensing unit

Each chamber is handcrafted and customised manufactured. So do not hesitate to contact us having special needs!

Arabidopsis Growth Chambers from Percival Scientific

Percival Scientific was the first manufacturer to introduce dedicated chambers for Arabidopsis research. Percival Arabidopsis growth chambers are specifically designed for growth of Arabidopsis plants. They provide optimised controlled temperature, light and humidity conditions for growing Arabidopsis plants from seed to maturity.

They can be adapted to modern Arabidopsis research from a wide range of options including special lighting options, RH options, low temperature and CO2 options.

Low Temperature chambers

Percival Scientific was the first; the first within the environmental chamber industry to engineer and build a low-temperature chamber. We have refined our design over the years to meet the exacting requirements of low-temperature research. Percival’s Low Temperature Chambers offer you the ability to measure temperature extremes; from freeze tolerance to heat stress.

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
