Description
Applications
- This chamber is frequently used for C. elegans, nematodes, yeast/fungi, insects, bacteria and BOD
- Many other applications exist for this product
Percival’s IntellusUltra Controller
- Percival Scientific has built a reputation of providing flexible, customized options for research scientists around the world. We have taken the philosophy to the next level with our improved IntellusUltra Controller. Now choose from the levels of functionality that meet your needs.
Lighting System
- Fluorescent lamps horizontally mounted and fluorescent lamps vertically mounted
- Intensity programmable up to 115 micromoles/m2/sec of light irradiance measured at 6” from lamps
- Programming and control of the lighting is done via IntellusUltra real time controller
Cabinet Construction
- Interior constructed of 22-gauge electro-zinc plated steel
- Exterior constructed of 18-gauge exterior electro-zinc plated steel
- Welded seams and joints on outer and inner shells
- Inner shell supported by non-compressing/non-thermal conducting material locking inner liner in place without a metal-to-metal bond to outer case
- Chamber is completely self-contained
- Overall wall thickness is 2”
Insulation
- Woodless construction using CFC free insulation (overall wall thickness is 2”, ample insulation for maintenance of stated temperature range)
Door
- Each door opening is 29.2” x 27.5” provides full access to chamber interior (magnetic gasket provides a tight seal to door frame)
Interior Space
- 14.6 cu.ft. with work area of 9.4 sq.ft. provided on two tiers
Shelving
- Two tiers of white epoxy coated steel wire shelving (each shelf is 25.13” x 26.9”)
- Shelves are supported by shelf clips allowing 1/2” vertical adjustments
- Maximum clearance between shelves is 7.8” per tier with both shelves installed
Finish
- Interior and exterior painted with high reflective, environmentally friendly, high temperature baked white powder coating
Refrigeration
- Self-contained air-cooled condensing unit with hot gas bypass system for continuous compressor operation, extended life and close temperature control (this continuous running condensingunit ensures precise temperature control by alternating cycling refrigerant and hot gas to coil; this also prolongs life of compressor, and eliminates risk of ice build up in coil)
- Solenoid valves have extended stem for quiet and long life operation
Temperature Range
- 4-44C (+/- 0.5C) with lights on, 2-44C (+/- 0.5C) with lights off
Temperature Safety Limit Controls
- Experiment Protection: Adjustable high and low temperature controls, audible alarms, and visual indicators provided
- Controls shut down all power to chamber, activating alarms (when the temperature returns to the normal range the system will automatically reset)
Electrical Requirements
- Consult Geneva Scientific for electrical requirements and amperage draw.
