Thermo Scientific Forma 88500D Features

Here are the key features of the Forma 8800 Series Freezer:

•  Performance: The Forma 8800 Series’ high performance mode for ultra-tight temperature uniformity. These freezers feature an outstanding BTU (British thermal unit) reserve. This leads to fast door-opening recovery times so that sample integrity isn’t compromised.

•  Ease and Safety: The TSU Series has an innovative, touch-screen control panel that allows 24/7 monitoring of the freezer's health. It also provides access to a detailed event log with a built-in USB port that enables easy downloading of event log reports or exchange of data and settings from one freezer to another. This series also can store up to 15 years worth of temperature and event data with an on-board computer.

Our Testing Process

1. Upon arrival, the freezer undergoes a thorough visual inspection to assess its overall condition.

2. The interior and exterior of the unit are cleaned using a dry ice blasting method to remove buildup and contaminants without damaging components.

3. The freezer technician checks the ambient pressures of the high and low side compressors (if applicable) and performs an amperage check to confirm proper electrical draw. Compressors are also monitored for excessive noise and heat. The freezer is then powered on and observed to ensure it is cooling in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Refrigeration lines are reinsulated to enhance thermal efficiency and prevent condensation.

5. Door seals and other essential components are inspected and replaced as necessary to maintain proper sealing and functionality.

6. In air-cooled units, the condenser and fans are responsible for dissipating heat. Fan alignment is checked, the condenser is inspected and cleaned to ensure adequate airflow, and the air filter is cleaned or replaced as required.

7. The backup display battery is tested for proper voltage and replaced if necessary to ensure uninterrupted display functionality during power loss.

8. After the unit has been running for a set period, the lowest interior temperature is recorded and verified to ensure it falls within the manufacturer's specified guidelines.
