Description:

The Forma Scientific 3110 is a 184 L (6.5 cu ft) water-jacketed CO₂ incubator designed for demanding cell culture and microbiology applications. A thermal-conductivity (T/C) sensor maintains CO₂ at 0 – 20 % with better than ±0.1 % accuracy, while its stainless-steel water jacket provides unsurpassed temperature stability (ambient + 5 °C to 55 °C with ±0.1 °C uniformity) and rapid recovery after door openings. Continuous contamination control—including optional HEPA filtration and a removable, cleanable inner-door gasket—protects cultures, and the 20 × 21.3 × 26.8 in chamber accommodates multiple shelves or stacks. Digital controls, high/low alarms and data-logging outputs simplify compliance, and its stackable design preserves valuable floor space in multi-unit installations.

Economic Advantage:

Unlike air-jacketed designs prone to temperature swings and longer recovery times, the 3110’s water jacket delivers tight thermal buffering—minimizing culture stress during door cycles and power variations. This stability, paired with rapid parameter recovery and built-in contamination barriers, reduces failed runs and media waste. Its stackable footprint further lowers capital outlay per unit of incubator volume, while the robust stainless-steel construction and continuous-control technologies slash maintenance costs—offering a lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI for high-throughput labs.
