Incubators from the APT.line™

KB 23 (E3.1)

Refrigerated incubator with program controller

The KB is the all-rounder for microorganisms. With its wide range of individual programming functions, including a real-time clock function and an enormous temperature span, it can be used for a broad range of sophisticated applications in laboratories – with minimal dehumidification of specimens and impressive extra performance. The APT.line™ with its electronically controlled preheating chamber ensures rapid recovery times and maximum precision, unaffected by the ambient temperature.

Based on the ice increase on the evaporators the refrigerating capacity decreases at a set value of < 0 °C (32 °F).
For this reason the chambers have to be defrosted regularly (approx. once a week).

1) at an ambient temperature ≤20 °C (68 °F)
2) up to 98 % of the set value
3) these values can be used upon calculation of air conditioning systems

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. The temperature data are determinated 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 indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at all times.

  • BINDER Data Logger kits

    The new BINDER Data Logger kits for temperature and humidity can record temperature and humidity data of BINDER equipment. This finely tuned product solution also contains useful accessories for mounting the Logger on the BINDER unit, including cable bushings and a sensor mounting bracket.

  • Calibration certificates and validation

    BINDER can significantly reduce the time and effort needed for equipment qualification and validation. We draw on unparalleled knowledge of our equipment applications and years of experience in certification.

  • Access ports

    With silicon plugs for inserting external measuring devices into the chamber. Access ports with 10, 30, 50, 100 mm (0.4, 1.2, 2, 3.94 inch) diameter.
