Thermo Scientific Forma Vertical Light Chambers
Thermo Scientific Forma Vertical Light Chambers address a variety of applications that require sample exposure in light, along with temperature control.
Key Features
- Solid door is supplied as standard
- Height adjustable vertical light modules allow flexibility to maintain distance between samples and light, for a wide range of sample volumes
- Optimal conditions can be achieved through a choice of light settings. Wide light distribution is achieved with 7 light bulbs
- Three different light modules are available to address applications
- ICH stability testing: addressing light and UV exposure according to guideline Q1B
- Plant Growth: addressing high red/blue radiation for optimal growth conditions
- Animal hatching: providing daylight simulation
- Program light cycles:
- Day/night or individual on/off cycles for every day of the week
- Dawn/dusk simulations with increasing intensity in 3 steps
- Light modes can be active or inactive, making the chambers suitable for non-light applications, using temperature and humidity controls only
- Install up to 3 light modules without humidity control or 2 light modules with humidity control in the large unit (waterproof special electrical connectors are provided)
- Install up to 2 light modules in the small unit (waterproof special electrical connectors are provided)
