Drosophila
Perfect Climate for Healthy Drosophila
Scientists have long trusted our traditional Drosophila chambers for rearing fruit flies and maintaining stock for research. We’ve designed them with a special phenolic coating to protect chamber components from the acidic environment of insect rearing. In addition, the IntellusUltra control system allows users to program and fine-tune the temperature and humidity settings to perfectly match the climate required for healthy Drosophila.
Sleek Design With Linear White LEDs
Our Drosophila chambers are designed with a modern, sleek appearance, including IncuWhite® linear LED lighting. We’ve built them to last with easy maintenance, giving you years upon years of reliable research.
Investigating the Impact of Heavy Metal Exposure
“The near-perfect temperature, humidity and light cycles offered by Percival [Drosophila chambers] have been essential for this work, particularly for difficult-to-measure behavioral traits. Water balance is a huge issue for flies, and these chambers are incredibly useful for that reason. They are durable machines with surprisingly few problems compared to other equipment.”
