Thermo Scientific Forma Series II 3110 Water-Jacketed Double-Stacked CO2 Incubator

The Thermo Scientific Forma Series II 3110 is a *water-jacketed CO2 incubator* featuring a 6.5 cu.ft. (184 L) polished stainless steel chamber designed for sensitive *cell culture* and *molecular diagnostics*. Its double-stacked configuration optimizes floor space while providing dual independent incubation chambers.

Key technical features include:

• Temperature Range: Ambient +5°C to 55°C with triple-wall construction ensuring stable temperature maintenance, critical for bioprocessing and gene editing workflows.
• CO2 Control: TC sensor technology enables precise CO2 control from 0 to 20%, supporting synthetic biology and molecular biology applications requiring controlled atmospheric conditions.
• Humidity: Ambient to 95% relative humidity at 37°C, ideal for maintaining cell viability and tissue engineering environments.
• HEPA Filtration: Continuous snap-fit HEPA air filtration renews chamber air every 60 seconds, delivering Class 100 air quality to reduce airborne contamination during frequent access.
• Construction: 18-gauge cold-rolled steel exterior with coved stainless steel interior corners for easy cleaning and autoclaving of removable shelves, enhancing sterile conditions for reliable biomedical research.
• Design: Heated dual-pane inner glass door reduces condensation, enabling rapid recovery post-door openings, essential for maintaining stringent conditions in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• Dimensions: Each compartment measures 19x18x25 inches with exterior footprint of 26x27x83 inches; total weight approximately 275 lbs, suitable for clinical diagnostics and laboratory biomanufacturing spaces.
• Electrical: Operates at 115V, 50/60Hz, 7.2A, compatible with standard laboratory power supplies.

This *double-stacked CO2 incubator* is widely used in biotechnology and biomedical engineering for tissue culture, live-cell imaging preparation, and synthetic biology research due to its stability, contamination control, and space-saving design.

Applications:

• Critical in molecular cloning workflows and bioprocessing stability
• Widely adopted in cell imaging and fluorescence analysis setups
• Supports biotechnology labs involved in gene editing, tissue engineering, and biomanufacturing

The Forma Series II 3110 incubator combines robust environmental controls with advanced filtration, making it a preferred option for researchers requiring consistent, contamination-free incubation environments in biomedical and biotechnology research domains.
