Constant climate chambers from the APT.line™

KBF ICH 240 (E5.1)

Constant climate chamber with ICH conform illumination

Specialized equipment for photostability tests. Integrated cooling of fans consistently compensates for the additional heat from the light and thus provides unambiguous, meaningful test results in compliance with guideline ICH Q1B, Option 2. The two sources for visible and UV light can be controlled separately, which provides higher accuracy for analysis.

1. Tap water [municipal] with a max. hardness of 8.0° dH = 1.4285 mmol/l.
    (The hardness can be established from the water analysis of your water supplier.)

2. We recommend the BINDER Pure Aqua Service for longer maintenance intervals, regardless of water quality.

3. Demineralized or deionized water available at the customers location.

1) Lower values are valid up to an ambient temperature of max.  25 °C (77 °F)
2) up to 98 % of the set value
3) Average value, measured with a spherical sensor (±10%) by 12 cm (4.7 inch) below the light cassette
4) Use this value for dimensioning air condition systems

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and a voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. The temperature data are determinated in ccordance to factory standard following DIN 12880 respecting 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 alter technical specifications at all times.
