Percival Scientific Drosophila Chambers for Investigating the Impact of Heavy Metal Exposure

“The near-perfect temperature, humidity and light cycles offered by Percival incubators have been essential for this work, particularly for difficult-to-measure behavioral traits,” says Macdonald. “We have now conducted screens for dozens of traits in our Percival incubators.”

Maruyama once experienced a devastating loss of an experiment when a chamber broke down and killed the entire stock. “We lost months of work,” he remembers. “It takes time to grow the numbers that you need. have been the most reliable, so I don’t worry about that happening again.”

Undergraduate Students Conduct Globally Impactful Research Using Customized Dual-Purpose Percival Chambers

Olvido wants the success his students are having with hands-on research to spark more interest in his classes. “I hope these chambers will help pave the way for research expansion so more students can get this experience and be more competitive ,” he says.

Xiang Research Group at UNC Charlotte Relies on Customized Percival Chambers for Study of Coral-Algal Symbiosis

“I knew there were a lot of chamber companies out there, but I didn’t want to waste my time looking. You don’t want to have any problems when all your research is relying on the stability and capacity of your chambers,” Xiang says.
