E-36L1

Percival Scientific SciBrite LED Chamber Reach-In Plant Growth Chamber Model E-36L1

Precision Plant Growth for Research & Lab Environments

The Percival Scientific E-36L1 is a reach-in, single-tier plant growth chamber designed for research applications requiring maximum vertical growing height, high-intensity LED lighting, and dependable environmental control. Commonly used for vascular plant production, plant pathology research, and seed germination studies, the E-36L1 supports tall plant growth while maintaining the precision and repeatability demanded in laboratory environments.

Built with Percival’s proven cabinet construction and powered by the IntellusUltra™ control platform, this chamber delivers consistent temperature regulation, uniform airflow, and programmable lighting to protect experiments and ensure data integrity.

Features

Accurate Environmental Control
Maintain stable temperatures with ±0.5 °C accuracy across a wide operating range of 2–44 °C (lights OFF) and 7–44 °C (lights ON), supporting reliable, repeatable experimental conditions.

High-Intensity Single-Tier LED Lighting
A single tier of SciWhite LED shelving with enhanced red spectrum delivers up to 680 µmol m²/s at 6″, fully dimmable from 10–100% for precise control of light intensity and photoperiods — ideal for tall or light-sensitive plants.

Flexible, Intuitive Control Platform
The IntellusUltra™ Controller enables real-time programming and monitoring of temperature, lighting, humidity, and CO₂ (with optional modules), supporting step-and-ramp, diurnal, and non-circadian growth protocols.

Experiment Protection & Reliability
Dual high- and low-temperature safety limits with audible and visual alarms automatically shut down chamber power during excursions and reset when conditions normalize — safeguarding valuable samples and long-term studies.
