Thermo Scientific™ Forma™ FDE Series Ultra-Low Temperature Freezers PROMO

Description

Thermo Scientific™ Forma™ FDE Series ultra-low temperature freezers feature reduced energy usage, a simplified touchscreen interface, four capacities, and an ergonomic cabinet design.

Performance

• Powered by H-drive's hydrocarbon technology, these systems save up to 25% in energy usage and heat rejection over conventional refrigerant ultra-low freezers¹
• Designed for daily usage, recovers cabinet temperature 20% faster after opening the door.²
• A quiet sound output below 53 dBA, enables the freezer to come out of the hallway and into the lab
• Meets ±10°C validation protocols at -80°C with strong peak variation and steady-state temperature variation
• Natural hydrocarbon refrigerants reduce system operating stresses promoting outstanding reliability and worry-free sample protection

User Friendly

• The H-drive Information Center (HIC) combines easy to read temperature with simple capacitive touch buttons in a 5.6 inch display
• Four capacities (300, 400, 500 and 600 2-inch box) to accommodate a variety of storage needs and lab footprint specifications
• All models contain five inner doors allowing for easy sample access without exposing greater freezer content to ambient conditions
• Improved customer convenience with new ergonomically designed handle, high contrast eye-level display, and comfortable easy-access shelf locations.
• Compatible with most racking systems including a full range of Thermo Scientific™ racks for boxes, microplates, Thermo Scientific™ Matrix™ and Nunc CryoBank™ tubes
• Security features including alarm settings and padlock-compatible doors

Sustainability

• Manufactured in an award-winning, zero-waste to landfill facility
• Lower HVAC costs as a result of less heat emission into the environment
• Natural refrigerants and water-blown foam insulation, making the Series compliant with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP), the European Union's F-Gas and other sustainability standards
