Description

Thermo Forma 420 Platform Orbital Shaker

Thermo Scientific created an excellent solution for those laboratories that need a reliable orbital shaker that can run for long periods for years on end without a problem. This orbital incubator shaker is excellent for cell culturing and sensitive cells requiring contamination protection. The Thermo Forma 420 Orbital Incubator shaker is robust, durable, and great for shaking cells and bacteria as needed. Thermo integrated the features available on many other models of their incubators to ensure that you can restrict access to unauthorized changes in the operating environment of the Forma 420.

The Forma 420 Thermo Shaking Incubator has a temperature range between 5ºC above ambient to 80ºC (176ºF) with control of ±0.1ºC, the industry’s most comprehensive temperature range. This temperature range in the incubator allows the Thermo Forma 420 the flexibility to perform a broad range of applications. The temperature uniformity of this lab incubator allows for optimum growth through the built-in hardware and software control. The Thermo 420 has a double-wall insulated chamber for optimally controlled uniformity. The incubator shaker features twin blowers that keep temperature uniformity between ±0.3C (in the flask). The Forma Model 420 also has microprocessor functions that can be easily changed and built-in calibration functions right through the keypad. The system also has configurable alarms that can be audible or visual, allowing you to monitor your sample carefully.

The Thermo Forma 420 Incubator Shaker has the largest flask capacity of any benchtop incubator shaker in its price and size point. The Thermo 420 platform measures 18.0″ x 18.0″ and can accommodate up to six 2-liter flasks or four 2800ml flasks. In addition, the unit can be configured with many accessories for anything from plates to smaller flasks. The construction of the 420 Incubator Shaker itself is durable and resilient, with a triple-balanced counter mechanism and a lifetime warranty (by Thermo) on parts only. The lid of the 420 Incubator Shaker is made of molded clear acrylic and triple point reinforced to withstand years of use and avoid cracks and discoloration. All the electronics are located outside the unit to ensure liquids do not affect them during a spill.
