Lighting That Prevents Condensation on Petri Dishes
Percival Scientific designed PetriClear® as an advanced dual-channel lighting system that integrates white and infrared LEDs for plant tissue culture. The infrared LEDs* gently raise the lid temperature of unstacked Petri dishes above dew point, effectively preventing condensation. This minimizes contamination risks and creates an optimal environment for consistent, uniform growth. PetriClear replicates the color temperature (CCT: 6000K, CRI: 90) and infrared output of prior fluorescent lighting used in Percival tissue culture chambers and performs better in some cases. This innovative system is also ideal for additional microbiological applications, including the cultivation of fungi, bacteria and yeast.
- Easy to program with the IntellusUltra real-time controller
- Dimmable light output in one-percent increments
- Superior performance compared to fluorescent lighting
*Infrared lighting is invisible when energized.
