Includes stand

90-day warranty
Effective decontamination combined with ease of cleaning ensure uncompromising sample integrity. The Forma 1400 Series meets all NSF 49 standard requirements for Class II, A2 biological safety cabinets. Advanced motor technology reduces power consumption by at least 50% compared to cabinets with standard induction-type motors. Half-speed motor operation conserves energy, and by reducing airflow volume during periods of non-use, extends HEPA filter life.
It ensures operator safety through a built-in microprocessor controller that continuously monitors airflow performance and displays the read-out as a highly visible real-time bar graph.

Thermo Forma 1400 Series Biological Safety Cabinet testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test each bio safety cabinet to ensure that the controls and blower motor work properly. Unless otherwise specified all bio safety cabinets come with new HEPA filters installed by our technicians at our facility prior to shipment.
Our testing procedure includes all the elements of a bio safety cabinet certification in order to ensure that the unit will pass certification once it is at your site.
