Percival Scientific SciBrite LED Chamber Reach-In Plant Growth Chamber Model E-36L2
Precision Plant Growth for Research & Lab Environments
The Percival Scientific E-36L2 is a compact, reach-in controlled-environment plant growth chamber engineered for reliable, reproducible research outcomes. Designed for vascular plant lighting studies, seedling germination, and plant pathology research, the E-36L2 delivers precise temperature control, high-intensity programmable LED lighting, and robust experiment protection in a space-efficient footprint ideal for laboratory settings.
Built with Percival’s proven cabinet construction and powered by the IntellusUltra™ control platform, this chamber supports consistent plant production while offering the flexibility required for evolving research protocols.
Features
Accurate Environmental Control
Maintain stable temperatures with ±0.5 °C control across a wide operating range of 2–44 °C (lights OFF) and 7–44 °C (lights ON), ensuring dependable experimental repeatability.
High-Intensity Plant-Optimized LED Lighting
Two tiers of SciWhite LED lighted shelving with enhanced red spectrum deliver up to 680 µmol m²/s at 6″, fully dimmable from 10–100% for precise control of light intensity and photoperiods.
Flexible, Intuitive Control Platform
The IntellusUltra™ Controller provides real-time programming and monitoring of temperature, lighting, humidity, and CO₂ (with optional modules), supporting complex schedules through step-and-ramp or diurnal programming modes.
Experiment Protection & Reliability
Dual high- and low-temperature safety limits with audible and visual alarms automatically shut down the system during excursions and reset once conditions return to normal — protecting valuable samples and data integrity.
