The BINDER CO2 incubator - C series
The STANDARD CO2 incubator
The BINDER C 150 is the fitting CO2 incubator for routine applications for cell cultivation: contamination-free thanks to 180 °C hot-air sterilization, this CO2 incubator is reliably pH-stable thanks to the drift-free FPI infrared measuring system. In addition, the BINDER C 150 distinguishes itself by its high temperature precision with excellent dynamics and eliminates the risk of condensation when storing tissue cultures - even in high humidity.
Advantages:
- Hot air sterilization at 180 °C
- Seamless, deep-drawn inner chamber made of stainless steel
- Unique BINDER technology (patented air jacket system, etc.)
Areas of application:
-
Biotechnology -
Basic Research / Research Institutes -
Clinics / University Hospitals

2) The specified recovery times of the gas concentration in the inner chamber after the door was opened is based on a connection pressure of 2.0 bar.
All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a line voltage fluctuation of ±10%. The temperature data is determined in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880, respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10% of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. All figures are typical average values for series devices. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at any time.
BINDER Gas Supply Service
The external tank changer makes automatic changeover to a second tank possible once the first tank is empty. It has acoustic and visual alarms and is equipped with a zero-voltage alarm output for extreme notification systems. It can be used for maximum two CO2 incubators and is suitable for CO2, O2 and N2 tanks.
Silicone access ports
For introducing external measuring instruments into the chamber. The access ports have a diameter of 30 mm and can be sealed on both sides using a silicone plug. They can be positioned on the back, left, and right sides.
Base on casters
Lockable adjustable feet and stable casters for stability on uneven floors and easy repositioning for a BINDER CO2-incubator of the series C or CB.
Cleaning kit
Special cleaning set:
- Gentle stainless steel cleaner with long-term protection
- Clinically approved disinfectant
- Cleaning cloths
