Percival Scientific Biological Incubator Model I-36LL
LED-equipped incubator for controlled organism growth, bioassays, and seed studies.
The Percival Scientific I-36LL Biological Incubator is designed for culturing, rearing, and holding test organisms, bioassays, seed germination, and product stability testing. This model is frequently used for cyanobacteria, insects, and simple/low-cost seed germination, though it supports many other research applications. With programmable horizontal LED lighting and the advanced IntellusUltra™ Controller, this incubator delivers precise environmental control and experiment protection.
