Available in several vaiations : Standard, Cooling or CO2.

A standard incubator from BINDER is the perfect solution for stable incubation processes.
The incubators with natural convection or forced convection are now the perfect solution when it comes to meeting growth and incubation requirements of microbiological cultures. They guarantee reproducible results in every routine test in the laboratory – even under high batch throughputs in long-term operation. With their exceptional efficiency and perfect temperature accuracy thanks to the very latest APT.line™ technology, this new generation of incubators has real appeal.

A cooling incubator, also known as a refrigerated incubator, is an incubator that is capable of both heating and cooling. This temperature-controlled system enables samples to be incubated or stored in a cooling incubator both above and below ambient temperature. Refrigerated incubators are used in microbiology and are part of standard laboratory equipment. Stable incubation conditions are essential when working with microorganisms. The units used therefore have to guarantee exact and constant temperatures.

A CO2 incubator is a gassed incubator that is used for in vitro cell cultivation. Cell culture is the process by which living cells are cultivated and propagated outside of an organism under controlled conditions. Cell cultures often form the basis of clinical and biotechnological research. Inside a CO2 incubator, an atmosphere is created that is as natural as possible in order to facilitate cell growth. The temperature, humidity, and CO2 content must match the cell culture requirements precisely.

*All technical data is specified for unloaded units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of +22 °C
±3 °C and a power supply voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. The temperature data is determined in accordance to
BINDER factory standard following DIN 12880, observing the recommended wall clearances of 10 % of the
height, width, and depth of the inner chamber. Technical data refers to 100 % fan speed. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to change technical specifications
at any time.
