FORMA 900 SER ES

To do any basic research in biology, like regulation of genes in different disease conditions, we have to do in vitro work by using cell culture . For storing cell lines and some of the cell culture reagents, we have to store in a -80 freezer. Examples include basic molecular biology stuff like competent cells and glycerol stocks that have to be stored in the -80 freezer.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

For storing the basic molecular biology reagents and cell culture reagents

Starting Material

Molecular Biology reagents & cell culture reagents

Protocol Overview

Switch on the machine after plugging to the non-ups switchboard. A stabilizer must be connected to the machine to control power fluctuations. Once you switch on the machine to reach -80, it will take sometime once it reaches -80. It maintains the temperature well. Then we can keep our stuff in side and close the door properly.

Tips

You have to remove the ice in regular intervals.

Results Summary

It maintains the temperature accurately.

Features Summary

We look for Thermo Scientific products of this kind for equipment when we are looking to buy.
