BINDER CO2 incubator CB-S 170
The BINDER CB-S 170 CO2 incubator is a specialised solution for precise cell cultivation and is particularly suitable for demanding applications in research laboratories and in biotechnology. The device provides reliable and constant conditions for optimised cell culture growth. Compared to similar products on the market, it impresses with efficient hot air sterilisation, a fanless interior and a sophisticated anti-contamination concept.
Advanced technologies for safe laboratory processes
This device is characterised by a range of intelligent functions to simplify work in research, development and production. With a hot sterilisation method at 180 °C, the system ensures unique safety and contamination protection. The stable pH environment is reliably maintained thanks to the drift-free infrared CO2 sensor, while an integrated Venturi CO2 gas mixing nozzle supports homogeneous CO2 distribution in the interior.
The inner chamber is made of seamless stainless steel, which makes it easy to clean. In addition, the fanless design eliminates unnecessary air currents, which in turn reduces soiling in the interior. An integrated PID controller with a clear LCD display facilitates operation, while a data logger outputs relevant measured values to a USB stick. In addition, troubleshooting is simplified by a diagnostic system with visual and audible alarms.
Technical highlights at a glance
The following are the key performance data that make the incubator a robust, versatile and economical solution:
- Temperature range: +6 °C above room temperature to 50 °C
- Recovery time after 30 s door opening at 37 °C: 6 minutes
- Humidity range: 90 to 95 % r.h.
- CO2 range: 0 to 20 % by volume
- IR CO2 sensor and Venturi gas mixing nozzle for pH-stable cultivation conditions
- Internal volume: 170 litres
- Sound pressure level: 41 dB(A)
The appliance is available in versions for 200-230 V and 100-120 V and fulfils the usual standards and directives, including CE marking. Thanks to a rated output of 1.3 kW, it is energy-efficient even in continuous operation; it also works particularly economically thanks to the customised heating and humidification system.
The interior allows for up to six shelves, which means that a large number of samples can be cultivated at the same time. The external dimensions (width 680 mm, height 870 mm, depth 715 mm) allow installation in many standard laboratory furniture. The high-quality workmanship ensures a long service life, while the stainless steel construction effectively reduces corrosion and contamination.
Examples of use
- Production and maintenance of a wide variety of cell lines in biotechnology laboratories
- Research on proteins, enzymes and antibodies in academia
- Pharmaceutical product development with a focus on in vitro drug testing
- Microbiological testing of yeasts and bacteria for diagnostics and quality control
FAQs
How does hot air sterilisation at 180 °C work?
In hot air sterilisation, the interior is heated to 180 °C. This temperature thoroughly disinfects all surfaces and minimises the risk of contamination for cultures.
Why is a fanless interior advantageous?
The fanless design prevents unwanted air turbulence and thus reduces the risk of particle carryover, providing optimal contamination protection for the samples.
How to control the CO2 content
The built-in infrared CO2 measuring system reacts drift-free and ensures constant CO2 concentrations. The desired value can be set and constantly monitored via the PID controller.
Which certifications are available
The device fulfils the current laboratory standards and has a CE mark. It therefore complies with European safety and quality guidelines.
How quickly does the CO2 concentration stabilise after door openings?
The incubator only needs around five minutes to restore the set CO2 level, even with short-term fluctuations caused by open doors.
Can the interior be flexibly customised for different areas of use?
Yes, several slide-in units can be used. Each drawer can hold up to 10 kg, which provides sufficient space for different sample containers.
Is it easy to operate
Thanks to the clear LCD display and logically structured menus, the system can be controlled intuitively. In addition, an audible and visual alarm informs you of any deviations.
Conclusion
The BINDER CB-S 170 CO2 incubator impresses as a reliable incubator for laboratory environments that place the highest demands on contamination protection, pH stability and user-friendliness. The combination of hot air sterilisation, durable stainless steel construction and innovative CO2 measuring system ensures optimum cell growth conditions. This makes it ideal for demanding research and routine applications in the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. At the same time, the device impresses with its economical operation, clear control of all parameters and wide range of applications in everyday laboratory work.
