The Forma Series 3 water jacketed CO₂ incubator provides stable and reliable conditions for routine cell culture. The water jacket ensures minimal temperature fluctuations. HEPA filtration effectively limits contamination risks. Suitable for research laboratories.
The Thermo Scientific Forma Series 3 water jacketed CO₂ incubator is designed for stable and reproducible cell culture conditions. Thanks to water jacket technology, the incubator provides excellent temperature stability, protecting cell cultures against temperature fluctuations and power outages.
The triple-wall construction with double water layer ensures a very even temperature distribution. In the event of a power interruption, the temperature drops only slowly. This significantly reduces the risk of loss of valuable cultures and makes the incubator suitable for routine use.
The incubator is equipped with the iCAN touchscreen for easy operation and complete data visualisation. In-chamber HEPA filtration achieves ISO Class 5 air quality within five minutes after door opening. Fan-assisted air circulation supports rapid recovery times for temperature, CO₂ and humidity.
