Cowger lab requirements and SOW for Percival plant growth chamber

I. Statement of Work Dr. Christina Cowger conducts research on a variety of fungal pathogens of small grains, in particular, wheat and barley. Some experiments will be conducted under specific temperature and light conditions, which require the use of a growth chamber designed to accommodate plants at various heights.

We have determined that the Percival Scientific model E-41VL will meet our requirements for a growth chamber for this research.

II. The following criteria are absolute requirements for a growth chamber:

· IntellusUltra Control system with diurnal and 24 hour settings.

All of our other growth chambers are Percival models, and we understand the programming and maintenance of these chambers.

· At least 37 ft3 of interior space.

· 34 ft2 of space over five tiers of shelves

· Temperature range of 7 to 44C with lights on.

· Externally mounted vertical LED lamp banks.

· Lights that are dimmable and can irradiate to an intensity of up to 515 μmoles/m2/s.

· Electrical service requirements of 120/1/60.
