Benefits of Laminar Airflow

FORMA 3960 Environmental Chamber with Horizontal Laminar Airflow for Optimal Temperature Uniformity

Forma 3960 Environmental Chambers feature a directed airflow system that delivers excellent temperature uniformity throughout the inner chamber that prevents sample desiccation and loss. Positive and negative pressure feed plenums create a horizontal laminar airflow that ensures samples receive a consistent flow of unimpeded conditioned air across the surface of each shelf

.
Customizable to Fit Any Industrial, Pharmaceutical or Biotechnological Application

The Thermo Scientific Forma Series Environmental Chamber offers a wide range of options including condensate evaporators, heatless dryer systems, custom access ports, and additional electrical outlets. Factory-installed shaker support and integrated cell roller systems are also available as custom orders.
