Click here to see used and refurbished Thermo Scientific 3950 from American Instrument Exchange.
The Thermo Scientific 3950 reach-in incubator is the most popular large capacity incubator in our inventory. For years we have been touting the ease of use, durability, and dependability of this model to our customers, and along with the classic Thermo 3110 the Thermo 3950 is one of the most ubiquitous CO2 incubators currently on the market.
The Thermo 3950 reach-in incubator is a large capacity incubator provides a generous 29 cubic foot chamber for culturing large volumes of patient samples for bacterial growth, performing short-term growth studies and work with large volume products. The temperature range can be adjusted from ambient +5°C to 60°C and the CO2 range from ambient to 20%. Relative humidity can be adjusted up to 80%. The Thermo 3950 features elevated relative humidity to prevent product desiccation in medium term cultures and three different water fill options. The heated, tripled-pane glass door minimizes condensation and provides users with a clear view of the chamber. Two through-wall access ports can be used to run sensors, probes, or power cords for small instruments into the chamber, or sealed.
Recognizing that temperature uniformity is absolutely critical for optimal culturing, the Thermo 3950 is designed with a directed horizontal laminar airflow system with positive and negative plenums so that each shelf receives a consistent flow of conditioned air for optimum temperature uniformity. The air feed plenum cannot be accidentally blocked by the chamber contents, leading to temperature variations that can damage the chamber’s contents. So the Thermo 3950 delivers consistent temperature uniformity and recovery even with large product loads and low output, heat-generating equipment in the chamber.
The water reservoir used for humidity generation is triangular-shaped and side mounted to the interior chamber wall and can be filled by either an in-house pure water supply, manual feeding, or gravity feeding methods. For best operation of the incubator, sterilized distilled, demineralized or de-ionized water should be used in the humidity reservoir. The incubator is equipped with a liquid level float switch that detects low water levels in the humidity reservoir and produces an alarm condition. As all applications do not require humidity, this alarm can be disabled.
