Features of Forma Tabletop Orbital Shaker
Forma Tabletop orbital shakers combine high durability and capacity with unequalled ease of use. The patented triple-counterbalanced heavy-duty mechanism prevents vibration, allowing the unit to run smoothly with heavy, out-of-balance loads. Every other part, from the large rubber block vibration isolator feet, to the thick machined aluminum platform is designed to last through years of non-stop use. In addition, the unit's microprocessor controller displays all run and setpoints simultaneously on a 20 character backlit display. Programming and use are easy, with icon-based keys, and alphanumeric messages.
- Triple counter-balanced mechanism provides optimum handling of full or unbalanced loads, regardless of flask placement, and completely eliminates "walking"
- Microprocessor controller displays run and setpoints simultaneously on a 20-character backlit display
- Easy programming with icon-based keys and alphanumeric messages
- Oversized adjustable, suction-cup style, rubber feet minimize vibration, provide maximum stability, even with heavy or unbalanced loads
- Heavy-duty, triple counter-balanced eccentric drive allows extended speed ranges
- Low-heat 24V DC motor with moisture-resistant electronics provides continuous maintenance-free shaker operation on the benchtop or in a chamber
- Heavy-duty, permanently lubricated bearings ensure long life, minimizing the risk of downtime
- Optional platforms are constructed of 0.31 in., heavy-duty, brushed anodized aluminium for durability and easy cleaning
Model 420 Class-Leading Temperature Uniformity For Optimum Growth
- Double-wall, insulated chamber contributes to optimum, controlled uniformity.
- Twin blowers ensure temperature uniformity of ±0.3C (in the flask), creating an ideal environment for temperature-sensitive cultures and heavy product loads.
- Microprocessor functions are calibrated easily through the keypad. Audible/visual over and under-temperature tracking alarms ensure product protection.
