Nice incubator, but terrible technical assistance.
Mammalian cell culture
We purchased a Forma 3308 CO2 incubator in late 2017. It looked to be a fine instrument, easy to use, with good temperature and humidity stability. Easy to use water system (you don't have to pour water in the bottom of the incubator as in other models). However, we've had problems with sterilization cycles since the beginning, the door opens without explanation during sterilization cycles (and thus the cycle is interrupted before finishing). We have had this incubator out of service for more than 1 year now, because technical services for Thermo Fisher Scientific equipment are terrible (at least in Portugal). They rarely answer calls or e-mails, spare parts take months to arrive, our problem remains unresolved. Good thing we have another incubator from another brand.

Excellent results and excellent product. Cannot ask for any better.
Analyzing bacterial metabolites
Incubator is highly effective with excellent ease for users. It has in-built safety features including user-friendly operation that does not require much training. I love the incubator and will recommend to anyone for similar purposes.

High quality with good contamination control. Its price is high.
Analysis of gene expression products
This application works well with direct heat and shows high compatibility with other lab equipment. It controls the media contamination well.
