1) These values can be used for dimensioning air condition systems.

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.

Silicone access port

For introducing external measuring instruments into the chamber. The access port has a diameter of 30 mm and can be sealed on both sides using a silicone plug. It can only be positioned on the back for CB 53.

APT-COM™ DataControlSystem GLP Edition

Software for GLP-compliant control, programming and documentation. Allows networking of up to 30 devices or controllers. Meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.

Calibration certificate & validation

BINDER can significantly reduce the workload in qualifying and validating devices. Nobody knows our devices as well and has as much experience in certifications as we do.

Control for variable O2 values

For hyper- or hypoxic culture conditions. The O2 or N2 gas supply can be controlled using an additional control loop as needed. A zirconium oxide sensor (ZrO2) is used for the measurement.

Stacking adapter

Used for stacking of two CB incubators which are thermally isolated from each other. The incubators can thus be sterilized with hot air independent of each other. Available as stacking adapters, stacking frames or base frames.
