BINDER KB PRO 130-230V cooling incubator
This incubator is designed as a precise and highly flexible temperature control unit that is used in numerous laboratories and production environments. Its extended temperature range of -20 °C to +100 °C allows not only classic incubation tasks, but also demanding cooling and heating processes. Compared to similar devices on the market, it scores particularly highly with its modern inverter cooling technology, robust design and intuitive touchscreen control.
Versatile application possibilities
Thanks to its wide temperature range, this device is ideal for bacteriological tests, stability studies, storage of sensitive samples and for microbiology and molecular biology studies. The optional CO? gassing modules can also be used to carry out reliable growth experiments with plants and grow cell cultures under controlled conditions. In quality assurance, the incubator is used for long-term testing and stability analyses of active ingredients, chemicals and pharmaceutical products. It is also useful in the food industry, for example for temperature stress tests or testing products for microbiological quality.
Technical highlights and special features
An energy-efficient refrigeration unit with climate-neutral refrigerant R-290 operates inside, allowing low temperatures down to -20 °C to be realised safely and sustainably. However, the temperature range extends seamlessly up to +100 °C, meaning that the incubator not only cools, but can also handle a variety of processes at higher temperatures. The robust stainless steel interior construction ensures easy cleaning and high resistance to moisture and chemicals.
A particularly practical feature are the slide-in grids with telescopic rails, which allow safe and convenient access. A modern touchscreen programme controller can be used to set time intervals, real-time programmes and fan speeds. The data acquisition integrated in the controller enables relevant measured values to be saved and read out, which is essential for documentation obligations or quality certificates. Thanks to its network capability (Ethernet, USB), the appliance can be easily integrated into digital laboratory concepts. An additional integrated door heater reduces condensation and increases process stability.Important technical data at a glance:- Temperature range: -20 °C to +100 °C
- Temperature deviation over time at 37 °C: ±0.1 K
- Device regulation via touchscreen programme controller
- Energy consumption at 37 °C: 160 Wh-h
- Interior volume: 127 litres
- Maximum total load: 50 kg
- Sound pressure level: 46 dB(A)
In addition, the spatial temperature deviation at 37 °C is just ±0.2 K. The incubator has an integrated class 3.3 temperature selector monitor in accordance with DIN 12880, which provides both visual and audible alarms and thus ensures a high level of safety during operation. In addition, the interior can be conveniently viewed through a glass door without having to open the main door, which minimises costly temperature losses.
Typical applications
In research laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry, the appliance is used for growing and incubating microbiological cultures. In stability tests, the precise temperature control is quickly utilised to reliably test substances such as antibiotics, solvents or vaccine components. For plant biotechnology, the module for CO? regulation (0-1 %) makes it possible to set growth conditions for demanding species. Cell biologists, on the other hand, benefit from the CO? content, which can be adjusted by up to 20 % to create optimum conditions for cell lines or tissue cultures. Food analyses, for example of dairy products or meat samples, can be accurately monitored at specified temperatures and variable humidity levels.
FAQs
How is the cleaning process organised
?
The stainless steel inner chamber is very easy to clean with standard disinfectants. The smooth surfaces mean that germs have fewer niches, which significantly improves hygiene.
Is a quick temperature recovery guaranteed after the door is opened?
Yes, the recovery time at 37 °C is just two minutes. This ensures a uniform temperature in the chamber and reduces deviations that can occur due to short door openings.
What options are available for gas flushing modules?
There are two CO? modules: one for plant growth with 0-1% CO? and one with 0-20% CO? for cell culture. Both modules can be retrofitted if required and integrate perfectly into the overall system.
How can the documentation be carried out?
All measured values are logged internally and can be read out in open format via the USB port or integrated into corresponding laboratory or production software via Ethernet.
Which safety features are included
In addition to the integrated temperature selection monitor in accordance with DIN 12880, there is a self-test mode that checks the relevant components for malfunctions. An automatic alarm is triggered in the event of deviations.
Conclusion
This device is the ideal solution for laboratories, production areas and research facilities that require precise and energy-efficient technology for cooling and heating applications. The sophisticated design made of robust stainless steel, combined with excellent temperature accuracy and an intuitive operating concept, ensures maximum reliability. Thanks to optional CO? gassing modules, the range of applications is even more diverse. Overall, the incubator impresses with its intelligent functions, outstanding performance and low energy consumption.
