Percival Scientific Biological Incubator Model I-30NL
High-performance, no-light incubator for microbial, nematode, and B.O.D. studies.
The Percival Scientific I-30NL Biological Incubator is designed for controlled temperature applications without internal lighting. This chamber is frequently used for C. elegans, nematodes, yeast/fungi, insects, bacteria, and B.O.D. determinations, while remaining versatile enough for many additional laboratory experiments. Equipped with the IntellusUltra™ Controller, this incubator delivers precise programmable temperature control for reliable and reproducible results.
