Electric Clinostat for Demonstrating Heliotropism and Geotropism - Eisco Labs

This premium quality clinostat is an essential tool for the study of heliotropism and geotropism. The unit essentialy provides a simulated weightless environment by rotating 360 degrees over a period of time. Germinating seedlings are pinned to the cork platform which is rotated electronically at four revolutions per hour. The motor is spindle mounted and may be clamped so that the place of the cork can be set at any angle between horizontal and vertical. An acrylic cover shields seedlings from droughts. Consider adding Eisco Labs Plant Pot Holder (BI0246) for a more complete repertoire of possible experiments. Requires adapter for 220-240V European Plug Wattage: 1.5W Fuse: F 0.1A. Product does not work with a step down transformer.

CONTROL EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS || The Clinostat exposes, modifies, or negates the effects of gravity (geotropism) and light (heliotropism) on plants, permitting examination of growth and behavior over extended periods of time 4 REVOLUTIONS PER HOUR || The electric motor-powered Clinostat platform rotates four revolutions per hour for even exposure to sunlight and gravity VERSATILE POSITIONING || Spindle-mounted motor housing can be pivoted on its base and clamped into a fixed position to point plants towards a source of external stimuli PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC COVER || Features an acrylic cover for protecting seedlings and retaining moisture STURDY CONSTRUCTION || Features metal housing to protect the motor components, and a sturdy steel base with no-slip rubber feet for providing stability and traction
