Thermo Scientific Forma™ Environmental Chambers

Perform a variety of applications withThermo Scientific™ Forma™ environmental chambers, which can be configured for a variety of purposes and are available in multiple capacities. With a wide range of accessories and years of experience in constructing cabinets, we can construct units to match your most stringent applications.

Broad Range of Features and Controls:

  • Wide temperature range of 0° to 60°C that enhances the flexibility of the unit
  • Relative humidity control via steam generator from above ambient to 95% at 37°C (not available w/Cat. No. 50-3920)
  • Sophisticated digital controls
  • Programmable ramp and soak cycles for temperature and RH
  • Durable cabinets with true laminar airflow through side plenums for extremely tight uniformity
  • Phenolic-coated evaporator for use in applications that create corrosive byproducts
  • Manual control of defrost and refrigeration cycles
  • Visible/audible safety alarms alert to over- and undertemperature conditions, deviation of humidity from set parameters (except Model 3920)

Durable Construction:

  • Cold-rolled steel, powder-coated cabinet
  • 2 in. (5.1cm) thick, CFC-free, foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation
  • Stainless-steel interior with solid stainless-steel adjustable shelves
  • Directed horizontal airflow system for excellent uniformity
  • Locking swivel casters for easy mobility during installation and cleaning
  • Leveling feet for stability and added safety in the lab

Broad Range of Options:

  • Interior lighting for Models 3920, 3940, and 3949 (optional)
  • Reinforced shelving and flooring for heavy loads
  • Heatless dryer for lower humidity levels
  • Access ports for probes, sensors
  • Interior convenience receptacles
  • CO2 (IR sensor)
  • 6 in. and 12 in. temperature chart recorder
  • Other custom options available
