E-30L1

Percival Scientific SciWhite LED Chamber Reach-In Plant Growth Chamber Model E-30L1

Compact, Stackable Plant Growth with Moderate-High LED Intensity

The Percival Scientific E-30L1 is a compact, reach-in plant growth chamber designed for research applications that require moderate-to-high LED light intensity, precise temperature control, and efficient use of laboratory space. Frequently used for vascular plant production, seedling development, and plant pathology research, the E-30L1 combines strong lighting performance with a small footprint and stackable design.

With a single tier of SciWhite™ LEDs enhanced with red and full IntellusUltra™ control, the E-30L1 delivers consistent, repeatable growth conditions while fitting seamlessly into space-constrained research environments.

Features

High-Performance LED Lighting in a Compact Chamber
The SciWhite™ LED system delivers up to 870 µmol m²/s at 6″, supporting healthy vegetative growth and controlled photoperiod experiments without the excess heat of legacy lighting technologies.

Stackable, Space-Efficient Design
Fully self-contained and suitable for stacking, the E-30L1 is ideal for labs that need to scale experiments vertically while maintaining independent environmental control.

Reliable Environmental Precision
Stable temperature control with ±0.5 °C accuracy ensures repeatable results across growth cycles, supporting data integrity and reproducibility.

Built-In Experiment Protection
Adjustable high- and low-temperature safety limits automatically shut down chamber power and activate alarms to protect valuable research materials.
