The Thermo Forma 3130 incubator is a version of the industry standard 3110. This water-jacketed incubator offers precise control of CO2 levels and temperature to protect your critical cell cultures, as well as featuring an O2 control system allowing oxygen range from 1% to 21%. The validatable in-chamber HEPA filtration system filters the entire chamber volume every sixty seconds, creating a Class 100 cleanroom environment standard within the chamber for particulates of 0.5 micron size or larger per cubic foot of air. The audible/visual alarms instantly alert users to any problems while the durable triple-wall cabinet construction ensures both optimal temperature uniformity and long lasting temperature stability even if your lab loses power in an unexpected electrical outage. The Forma 3130 features the Enviro-Scan microprocessor control system for precise temperature and CO2 levels as well as configurable access code, HEPA filter change reminder, high/low alarm limits, and displays of chamber relative humidity and CO2/O2 levels. The outer door of the Forma 3130 has a magnetic gasket while the inner glass door is heated and keeps the chamber interior dry.
These units have been equipped with an additional interior door structure with eight small glass doors inside the main inner glass door. Email us if you’d like to see additional photos of this set up.
Most of our equipment
is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test CO2 incubators using a calibrated digital chart recorder to verify the accuracy of temperature controls and readouts, as well as using a Fyrite indicator to measure CO2 levels in the chamber. We replace any hardware or parts as is necessary and clean all incubators thoroughly prior to shipment.
