BINDER KB PRO 260-230V cooling incubator
The BINDER KB PRO 260-230V cooling incubator is a state-of-the-art temperature control chamber for demanding laboratory applications that covers an exceptional temperature range from -20 °C to +100 °C. Whether for microbiology, cell cultures, stability tests or other sensitive samples - the appliance guarantees reliable results thanks to precise temperature control and innovative compressor technology. Thanks to its solid stainless steel inner container, a well thought-out design and an intuitive user interface, this cooling incubator offers a first-class solution for professionals who need to rely on maximum performance and safety.
Versatile features and technologies
Thanks to its intelligent temperature control in combination with state-of-the-art inverter refrigeration technology, the incubator scores particularly highly with its uniform and reproducible conditions. It is therefore predestined for sensitive applications where maximum precision is essential. In particular, the extended temperature range, the high-quality stainless steel interior design and the energy-saving components increase the added value for laboratories and research institutes. Important features include:
- Temperature range from -20 °C to +100 °C for a wide range of applications
- Inverter cooling technology with climate-neutral refrigerant R-290
- PRECISION: spatial deviation at 37 °C of only ± 0.2 K
- FAST: recovery time after opening the door for 30 seconds at 37 °C is just 3 minutes
- Spacious interior volume of 262 litres with up to 9 drawers
- Operation via an intuitive touchscreen controller with data logger function
- Robust double swivel castors with brakes for safe relocation
Special features include a visual and audible alarm system and a class 3.3 temperature selector (DIN 12880), which reliably protects against overheating. In addition, optional LED light modules enable extended utilisation scenarios such as photostability tests in accordance with ICH guidelines or plant growth under controlled lighting conditions. For laboratories that require specific environments for cell cultures or plants, optional controllable CO? gassing modules are available, which greatly expand the new range of applications in research and development. Despite this variety of functions, the device remains very energy-efficient thanks to modern inverter technology and reduces operating costs.
Certifications and standards
The temperature selector monitor technology fulfils the requirements of DIN 12880 class 3.3. This standard ensures that measuring and testing devices meet the highest quality requirements. A corresponding internal safety system with diagnostic routines and self-test provides an additional guarantee for stable long-term operation. Thanks to its high-quality production and tested components, the cooling incubator is ideally suited for laboratories that are orientated towards high working standards.
Application examples
- Microbiological incubation at a constant 37 °C, such as the incubation of bacterial cultures in culture media
- Stability tests for pharmaceutical products over longer periods of time, also under additional lighting if required
- Germination tests of plants in research facilities, including individually adjustable light periods
- Temporary deep-freeze storage of samples or reagents where precise temperature control is required
In laboratories that work with sensitive substances such as DNA, proteins, enzymes or active pharmaceutical ingredients, the appliance reliably ensures constant climate conditions without failures. At the same time, the modern control system allows different temperature programmes to be stored so that different phases of an investigation can run automatically.
FAQs
How can the temperature be kept stable with smaller sample volumes?
Thanks to the APT.line preheating chamber technology, the air flow is distributed very evenly in the interior. Even with small filling volumes, the temperature fluctuation remains minimal.
Can the appliance be used for photostability tests?
Yes, the device can be used for ICH photostability tests using optional light modules. This allows various products to be tested for their light stability.
What does the internal device self-test mean?
The incubator regularly carries out an automatic status diagnosis. Critical points such as sensor functions or cooling system performance are checked in order to detect abnormal values at an early stage.
How does data recording and transmission work?
An internal data logger stores measured values in open format. These can be exported via a USB interface and further processed in laboratory management software. In addition, an Ethernet connection offers the option of feeding data directly into a network.
Is cleaning time-consuming
The stainless steel inner walls can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly. The telescopic rails of the slide-in grids can also be easily opened and cleaned.
Conclusion
This cooling incubator combines precision, reliability and a wide range of variants in a well thought-out overall concept that has been developed specifically for highly specialised laboratory and research applications. With its wide temperature range, innovative inverter technology and optional equipment, it can be configured very flexibly. Professionals benefit from an efficient, standard-compliant and easy-to-maintain solution for a wide range of experiments, tests and cultivations.
