Constant climate chambers with light from the APT.line™

KBF LQC 240 (E5.2)

Constant climate chamber with Light Quantum Control (LQC)

Genuine KBF equipment including lighting for compliance with standards, performance and functionality, with expanded photostability test features which we have patented. Two non-directional spherical sensors flexibly capture the available quantity of light at a specific sampling location more realistically than all other systems; in combination with BINDER’s light integration, this is the only method that simulates chemical actinometry electronically in accordance with ICH Q1B.

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

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.
