Percival Scientific Tissue Culture Growth Chamber Model CU-30L2
Compact, Condensation-Free Chamber for Plant Tissue Culture
The CU-30L2 Tissue Culture Chamber is specifically designed for plant tissue culture experiments on Petri plates, dishes, or flasks. Its dual-tier layout, fixed lamp bank, and controlled vertical airflow reduce condensation and ensure reliable experimental results, making it ideal for laboratories requiring precise environmental control.
Features
PetriClear LED Lighting System
-
Two tiers of shelving illuminated by PetriClear LEDs
-
Programmable intensity up to 190 µmol m²/s at 6″ from LEDs
-
SciWhite + Infrared technology prevents condensation on Petri dish lids
-
Dimmable from 10–100% output
-
Controlled via IntellusUltra real-time controller for precise lighting and environmental regulation
Shelf-Level Vertical Airflow
-
Conditioned air circulates through a rear wall duct and rises slowly through fixed bottom diffusers at each shelf
-
Diffusers prevent heat transfer from lights, minimizing condensation and maintaining uniform culture conditions
IntellusUltra™ Environmental Control
-
Industrial-grade hardware allows simultaneous control of lighting, temperature, humidity, and optional CO₂ enrichment
-
Advanced experiment protection and system diagnostics for reliable tissue culture studies
