Hybridization ovens from the APT.line™
BFED series:
Hybridization ovens with shaker platform
BFED is just as ideally suited for reproducible incubation results as the closely related BFD unit, although it offers a little extra when it comes to versatility. The shaking platform is particularly suited for hybridization in bags, or for in situ hybridization. The shaking frequency is digitally adjustable.
- Electronically controlled APT.line™ preheating chamber technology
- Temperature range of 5 °C (9 °F) above ambient temperature up to 100 °C (212 °F)
- Digital temperature setting with tenth of a degree accuracy
- MS controller with several timer functions
- Time functions: delayed ON, delayed OFF, and temperature-dependent delayed OFF
- Shaking unit, digitally adjustable (20–100 %)
- Adjustable ramp function
- Adjustable heat output (0 to 100 %)
- Removable rotation unit for 12 hybridization bottles
- Low profile collection pan
- Adjustable ventilation by means of rear exhaust duct, 50 mm (2 inch) diameter, with ventilation flap and front ventilation slide
- Inner glass door
- Independent adjustable temperature safety device, Class 3.1 (DIN 12880), with visual temperature alarm
- RS 232 printer and communication interface for communication software APT-COM™ DataControlSystem
- Adjustable intervals for printer
- Units are stackable
- 1 chrome-plated rack
- BINDER test certificate

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%. 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.
