General observations: This VWR Symphony CO2 Incubator (model 3074) is very clean used and in excellent cosmetic condition. It is a single-stack, water-jacketed incubator acquired from a premier state lab facility during a department upgrade. The unit was released only after completion of mandatory State decontamination protocols. System was well cared for and part of a regularly scheduled maintanence routine.
Facility Testing: This incubator was tested over a 5-day period. During that test window, all systems behaved beautifully. Both temperature control and CO2 control were responsive and stable throughout. Unit is being represented based on that facility testing only; no claims are made beyond the testing described here.
Additional notes: Model 3074 is the thermal-conductivity-sensor version of the Symphony 6.5W platform. Water-jacketed construction is preferred in many lab settings for thermal stability and added protection during ambient fluctuations. Please review photos carefully for overall configuration and included components.
Included in listing: Comes exactly as shown in photos with power cable, 3 stainless steel shelves and water pan. Interior filter is not included and will need to be procurred if your facility requires HEPA filtration. CO2 tank, regulator and hose were for testing purposes only and are not included.

Product Details
The VWR Symphony 6.5W water-jacketed CO2 incubator is designed for cell and tissue culture applications requiring a stable, controlled incubation environment. The 6.5W platform combines a large corrosion-resistant stainless steel chamber with water-jacketed temperature control to help protect cultures from heat loss and ambient temperature fluctuations. Model 3074 is the 115V configuration equipped with a thermal conductivity (T/C) CO2 sensor.
Features
- Water-jacketed design: Triple-wall cabinet construction with a temperature-conditioned water jacket for strong thermal stability.
- Large chamber capacity: 6.5 cu. ft. (184.1 L) interior volume for cell and tissue culture workflows.
- Model 3074 sensor configuration: Thermal conductivity (T/C) CO2 sensing on the 115V platform.
- Simple user interface: Separate LED displays for temperature and CO2 parameters with touch-sensitive membrane controls.
- Flexible shelving: Stainless steel perforated shelves and supports are removable for cleaning and configuration changes.
- Alarm capability: Audible/visual alarm indicators plus remote alarm contacts for temperature, CO2, power interruption, low water, and door-open conditions.
Applications
- Cell culture and tissue culture incubation where stable temperature, humidity, and CO2 control are required.
- Laboratories that prefer water-jacketed incubator designs for protection against ambient temperature swings and improved thermal buffering.
