Frequently Asked Questions
Which series can the JKG-66 be configured as?
The JKG-66 is available as E plant growth, AR Arabidopsis, GR seed germination, and NL, LL and VL incubator configurations.
What upgrades are available for light intensity?
An additional upper tier with a light upgrade from 800 to 2,100 µmol/m²/s or higher can be ordered, and light intensity can be set from 100 µmol/m²/s up to the upgraded maximum. Consult us for the details of your configuration.
How much space does the JKG-66 need?
The chamber needs 8 in (20 cm) of clearance on the right and back for air circulation and for opening the doors. A room at about 24 °C and 50% relative humidity gives the best performance.
Can I add humidity, CO₂ or qualification documents?
Yes. Humidity, CO₂ control and IQ/OQ or IQ/OQ/PQ documentation are available as options. See the options section above.
Can the JKG-66 be used for Drosophila or tissue culture?
These uses need different coil coatings, lighting, refrigeration and airflow, so they are not offered on the JKG-66. Percival has dedicated chambers for them; ask us.
Do you provide installation and service?
JKG provides installation and commissioning, preventive maintenance and breakdown support for the equipment it supplies.
