2 Features and Technical Specifications Forma Stackable Orbital Shakers An Ideal Solution for Sensitive and Hard Shake Applications Thermo Electron Corporation s newly designed Forma Stackable Orbital Shakers will meet the challenges of your sensitive cultures as well as your traditional hard shake bacterial cultures. Our units are designed for high volume scale-up cell culture, process optimization research at different temperatures and speeds (i.e., different growing environments), and high volume research conducted in labs with limited space and multiple environments or users. Applications involving eukaryotic cells and other slower growing cultures are more sensitive to contamination than traditional bacterial cultures. We help you keep the chamber clean and avoid cross contamination by providing a HEPA filtration system, one-piece interior, and coved corners. A notably uniform temperature (±0.3C) promotes the vitality of your cultures. And as for hardy bacterial cultures, these stable, space saving, stackable shakers have a wide speed range (usable even when units are stacked and bolted three high) that is ideal for your vigorous hard shake applications. Our expanded orbital shaker product line now includes stackable models in both refrigerated and incubated configurations. Incubated Model 440 (441) and Refrigerated Model 490 (491) are specially designed for laboratory professionals seeking high capacity shakers but lacking the floor space to accommodate multiple large console models. All models feature an insulated, fold-down door with wide-view window for high visibility. These modular shakers may be stacked up to three units high for three times the capacity of a console shaker in nearly the same footprint. 2 Models 490 (491) shown with optional accessories AIRFLOW Forced air circulation system and built-in High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter for temperature uniformity and reduced risk of cross contamination make these shakers ideal for eukaryotic cell culture. HEPA filter is rated a minimum 95% efficient at 0.3 microns for entrapment of extraneous airborne particulates.

3 Uniquely Designed Our versatile shakers include many unique features that set these stackable shakers apart from others, save time, simplify your work, and provide peace-ofmind performance. World s most durable and dynamically balanced orbital shaker mechanism (U.S. Patent 5,558,437) ensures smooth operation for optimum oxygenation and nutrient mixing, reduced cell clumping, and prevention of splashing and flask wetting. Triple counterbalanced mechanism provides optimum handling of full or unbalanced loads, regardless of flask placement. Heavy-duty, eccentric drive mechanism allows extended speed ranges from 25 to 400 RPM, ±1 RPM with minimal vibration, even when shakers are stacked three-high. Slide-out platform features a large mounting surface area and is secured to ensure a smooth, stable motion. Platform motion is continuously monitored independently of motor operation for added protection. Heavy-duty, permanently lubricated bearings provide long life. Cool running, brushless, 1/3 HP, DC motor ensures continuous maintenance-free operation. Temperature uniformity of ±0.3C makes these units ideal for both bacterial and mammalian cultures. Horizontal HEPA Filter Airflow design (U.S. Patent 5,577,837) ensures that air inside the unit remains clean and reduces cross contamination so culturing conditions are improved. A 2 year or 12,000 hour use warranty, whichever comes later, on parts and labor reinforces our commitment to you. Unit production lifetime warranty is on the shaker mechanism, parts only. Sturdy, Functional, and Convenient Forma Stackable Orbital Shakers are built to withstand the rigors of constant use as well as the stresses caused by stop-and-go operation. Fold-down door with ergonomically designed door handle, large quick-release base (included), and dedicated or universal slide-out shaker platform provide convenient access to your product, regardless of its position on the 29.5" x 18" (74.9cm x 45.7cm) platform. Universal and dedicated platforms are ordered separately. Flip-down handle/latch on the quick-release base prevents the shaker from running if the universal or dedicated platform is not secured. Easy-to-clean platforms are constructed of 5/16", heavy-duty, brushed anodized aluminum, which does not chip or rust. Heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel exterior is designed to safely support units stacked three high. Top platform height is under 61.0" (154.9cm) when units are stacked three high, ensuring ease of use and convenient accessibility. Crevice-free Type 304 stainless steel interior with coved corners and built-in drain keeps spills within the work area and promotes easy cleaning. Interior is tall enough to hold 2 liter Erlenmeyer flasks. Interior xenon light with switch improves visibility. Shaker door features a magnetic gasket for a tight seal, pneumatic dampers for smooth controlled opening, and hinges with counterbalance springs to ease door closing. Electronic components and HEPA filter are easily accessed from the front of the unit, eliminating the need to move the shaker during regular maintenance or service. 3 PLATFORM Slide-out system provides access to electronic components, ensuring easy maintenance. Convenient access to the HEPA filter permits quick filter changes. INTERIOR Stainless steel interior has coved corners for easy cleaning.

4 Features and Technical Specifications Forma Stackable Orbital Shakers Easy to Program and Monitor Microprocessor Control/Monitoring System allows easy icon-based programming and monitoring of the time, speed, and temperature setpoints and runpoints. Two-line, 40 character message/information center provides continuous updates of setpoint and actual time, speed, and temperature. Runpoints and setpoints are displayed simultaneously for convenient run cycle monitoring. Backlit display ensures message visibility in low and bright light conditions. Audible/visual over and undertemperature tracking alarms ensure product protection. A separate adjustable overtemperature safety alarm with independent probe provides additional backup on heated units. Refrigerated units also feature an undertemperature safety alarm. All microprocessor functions can be calibrated easily through the keypad. Sealed control panel minimizes concern about accidental spills. Audible/visual, high/low RPM tracking alarms alert you if speed deviations occur. Alarms can be silenced temporarily and ring back as a reminder of unresolved alarm conditions. Non-volatile memory saves settings during a power outage and automatically restarts the unit after power is restored. Microprocessor tracks total accumulated time on motor and drive systems. Controlled acceleration circuitry provides smooth start-up and stopping to eliminate splashing and wetting of flask closures. RS-232 port is standard on all models and permits computer interface and monitoring of time, speed, and temperature. For long-term documentation, an optional freestanding chart recorder is available. Standard remote alarm contacts allow convenient monitoring of alarm conditions from another location. Backlit Display Two-line, 40 character, LCD, alphanumeric display is a complete message/information center for actual (run) and setpoint parameters, and alarm condition messages. Audible/Visual Alarm Indicator Up and Down Arrow Keys During programming, these keys increase and decrease the time, speed, and temperature values.
