Description

Forma Series 3 Incubator: Reliability, Purity, and Simplicity for Cell Culture

The Thermo Scientific Forma Series 3 Incubator is an essential tool for laboratories requiring reliable and precise cell culture. This device combines advanced technology with a user-friendly interface to deliver optimal performance. The incubator's triple-wall construction provides exceptional thermal stability, protecting your cultures from ambient temperature variations and unexpected power outages. This feature is crucial for maintaining the integrity of cell cultures, even during external disruptions.

One of the major strengths of the Forma Series 3 Incubator is its HEPA filtration system, which minimizes the risk of airborne contaminants. This system maintains ISO Class 5 air purity within five minutes of door opening, ensuring a sterile environment for your cultures. Additionally, HEPA-VOC filters are available to remove volatile organic vapors often found in lab solvents and cleaning agents, providing extra protection for sensitive cultures.

The iCAN touchscreen interface of the incubator is designed to provide complete data visibility and intuitive control. It allows monitoring of incubator interactions, access to error and usage logs, data logging, and performance trend graphing. This interface also facilitates the download of incubator performance data, including error and data logs, via a USB port and provided software.

The Forma Series 3 Incubator is also equipped with advanced technologies to optimize growth parameters. Fan-assisted air circulation enables rapid recovery of critical environmental conditions such as temperature, gas exchange, and humidity. This efficient circulation minimizes variations between cultures and prevents desiccation, regardless of culture placement within the incubator. Additionally, a removable humidity pan is available for applications requiring precise humidity level monitoring.

For precise monitoring of CO2 and O2 levels, the incubator offers two sensor options: thermal conductivity (TC) sensors for accurate monitoring and long service life, and infrared (IR) sensors for precise monitoring in environments where temperature and humidity are less predictable. These sensors are positioned near the cultures to quickly respond to any deviations from desired conditions.

The Forma Series 3 Incubator is designed to offer enhanced flexibility with complete O2 control. Many cell cultures thrive in controlled O2 environments, and this incubator allows simulation of physiological or hypoxic environments within a 1-20% range. A dedicated O2 display and set point control enable precise monitoring of O2 levels.
