CO2-incubators from the APT.line™

CB series:
CO2 incubators with hot air sterilization

Precision equipment for cell cultivation of the future. It has a drift-free infrared CO2 measuring system to ensure stable pH values, condensation-free Permadry™ interior chamber with integrated shelf supports, easy to clean, where the surface area is kept to a minimum in order to reduce potential sites for germs to establish; an effective sterilization program that operates at 180 °C in compliance with standards, for cultivation without any contamination. All of these features along with the absolutely precise temperature accuracy, which you have come to expect from us.

1) up to 98 % of the set value

All specified technical data apply for standard equipment operating at an ambient temperature of + 25 °C (77 °F), with line voltage fluctuations of ± 10% and a gas feed pressure of 2.0 bar (28 psi). These typical average values for series equipment were determined in accordance with the BINDER factory standard. They are based upon the recommended distances from the inner chamber walls, namely 10% of height, width and depth. Differing ambient temperatures or variances in the design of individual equipment may produce different performance data.

We therefore recommend that equipment be calibrated and/or validated on a case-by-case basis when working at the extremes of the permissible ambient temperature range.
