BINDER KBF 470 constant climate chamber
The BINDER KBF 470 constant climate chamber offers high-performance temperature and humidity control for laboratories that require reliable stability tests in accordance with ICH specifications. This model impresses with its high climate homogeneity, robust design and state-of-the-art control technology. In contrast to many comparable solutions, it utilises sophisticated inverter cooling technology, which enables energy savings of up to 40 % to be achieved compared to predecessor devices. Users in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries appreciate the uniform temperature curve and precise climate simulation, which makes it particularly safe to carry out long-term and stress tests.
Reliable climate simulation for demanding applications
This appliance is designed for long-term use in development and quality assurance laboratories and enables very uniform temperature control in the interior thanks to its APT.line preheating chamber technology. The integrated steam humidification also ensures precise humidity control regardless of the temperature. Capacitive humidity measurement ensures fast response times, while the low-consumption refrigerant R-600a contributes to environmentally friendly performance. Flexibly adjustable fan speeds and the robust stainless steel construction of the interior ensure that users can successfully handle a wide range of samples of varying sensitivity.
The most important key technical data is summarised below:
- Temperature range: 0 °C to +70 °C
- Humidity range: 10 % r.h. to 80 % r.h.
- Temperature deviation over time at 25 °C and 60 % r.h.: ±0.1 K
- Humidity deviation over time at 25 °C and 60 % r.h.: ±1.5 % r.h.
- Energy-efficient inverter cooling with R-600a
- Internal data logger with USB interface
- Load capacity per rack: 40 kg (maximum total load 90 kg)
In addition, the double swivel castors, front parking brakes and door heating ensure easy handling and minimised condensation. The ergonomic touchscreen control panel offers a variety of programming functions for time periods and real-time sequences. Thanks to the signal triangle with status display, users always have an overview of appliance operation throughout the entire test time.
The stainless steel interior and the inner doors made of metal oxide-coated safety glass also make cleaning easier. An optional lighting unit transforms this climate chamber into a powerful photostability test chamber, which makes it particularly interesting for ICH conformity tests in the pharmaceutical industry. Special plant growth experiments can also be realised with LED light modules.Certifications and standards
Compliance with common industry standards is crucial when it comes to reliable climate testing. The device fulfils DIN 12880 class 3.3 for the temperature selector monitor and enables stability-compliant environments for a wide range of test scenarios. As many laboratories have strict GMP requirements, the model is designed to support comprehensive documentation and validation concepts if required. In addition, the associated BINDER Multi Management Software APT-COM Basic Edition can be used to seamlessly record, archive and directly analyse measured values.
Concrete application examples
- Pharmaceutical stability tests: long-term storage of medicines, vaccines and active ingredients to test their efficacy and shelf life
- Quality assurance of foodstuffs: Determination of storage stability and minimum shelf lives under climatic conditions that correspond to realistic transport and storage environments.
- Chemical research and material testing: testing adhesives, coatings and plastics in variable humidity and temperature ranges.
- Plant growth experiments: Simulation of climatic conditions for botanical experiments or germination tests, in particular using the optional LED light modules.
FAQs
How is the humidity precisely controlled
?
The device uses a capacitive humidity sensor and rapid vapour humidification. This allows it to react to changes in humidity within a very short time and maintain constant conditions.
How is the data analysed?
All measured values are recorded in the internal data logger and can be conveniently read out via USB. The BINDER Multi Management Software ensures seamless documentation and evaluation.
Can light modules be retrofitted?
Yes, it is possible to install special light or LED modules to carry out photostability tests or plant growth studies.
What safety functions are available
There is a temperature selection monitor in accordance with DIN 12880, visual and audible alarms and integrated self-diagnostics. This increases operational safety for reliable test results.
Conclusion
This model impresses with its perfectly harmonised interplay of temperature control, humidity management and ergonomic operation. Thanks to its robust design, interchangeable shelves and optional lighting technology, the appliance is a future-proof solution that covers a wide range of climate and stability tests. Furthermore, the energy-saving inverter cooling technology guarantees efficient continuous operation. This makes the system particularly suitable for laboratory environments in which constant and reproducible test conditions are essential in order to strictly fulfil regulatory requirements and obtain precise results.
