BINDER Incubator BF115

BINDER BF115 incubator

The BINDER BF115 incubator was specially developed for demanding applications in laboratories, research institutes, and medical environments to enable the cultivation and storage of biological samples under precisely controlled temperature conditions. With its robust design, high-quality recirculation technology and particularly high temperature stability, it clearly stands out from conventional incubators and is recommended as a reliable solution for professional users who depend on reproducibility and process reliability. Precise temperature control and modern laboratory technology

The incubator has been built in accordance with current industry standards and strict safety requirements and is equipped with state-of-the-art air circulation technology. Thanks to sensor-monitored temperature control and powerful ventilation, the BF115 ensures a consistently homogeneous internal climate with minimal deviations - a must for demanding microbiological and cell biology processes.

Key technical features at a glance

• Internal volume: 114 litres, for extensive testing and storage of larger sample sets
• Temperature range: °C above room temperature up to 10 °C, variable for a wide range of applications
• Temperature stability: Spatial deviation ±0.3 K, temporal deviation ±0.1 K at 3 °C
• Maximum load: 50 kg, with a load capacity of up to 20 kg per shelf
• Recovery time after door opening: approx. 5 minutes at 3 °C (after 30 seconds of opening)
• Nominal voltage: 230 V (alternative version available for 120 V)
• Dimensions (W x H x D): 710 mm x 735 mm x 605 mm
• Energy consumption: Very efficient, only 60 Wh/h at 3 °C

In addition to these outstanding values, the incubator impresses with its high level of user-friendliness. The digital control panel allows intuitive adjustment and precise monitoring of temperature parameters. The particularly short heating time of only 8 minutes to 3 °C saves time in daily laboratory operations. In addition, well-designed door seals and the lockable door ensure safety and protection against contamination and unauthorised access.

The robust interior made of high-quality stainless steel simplifies cleaning and disinfection. The smooth surfaces prevent the accumulation of dirt and microorganisms, which is particularly essential for use in microbiological and medical laboratories.

Special features and laboratory advantages

• Lockable door with special seal: Protection against liquid loss and unauthorised access.
• Efficient air circulation technology: Homogeneous temperature distribution even when fully loaded.

Relevant certifications and standards

The BF115 meets the strict requirements of important industrial and medical guidelines:

• CE marking for compliance with European safety, health and environmental protection standards
• DIN standards, in particular with regard to material quality, safety and laboratory suitability
• Conformity with relevant regulations for laboratory operation (e.g. ISO 9001/ISO 13485, depending on the area of application)

Application examples for professional laboratories

• Cultivation of microorganisms: Particularly suitable for the preparation, incubation and propagation of bacteria, yeasts, fungi and moulds.
• Cell culture incubation: Optimal conditions for fibroblastic, epithelial or hybridoma cell lines in biomedical research and pharmaceutical development.
• Storage and preservation of biological samples: Safe temperature range for sensitive plasma samples, human tissue samples (e.g. needle aspirates), culture media or vaccines.
• Conducting stability tests: Constant conditions for accelerated shelf life testing of pharmaceutical and biotechnological substances such as antibiotics, serum, enzymes or reagent solutions.

Media such as agar plates, culture broths, cell culture bottles (T-flasks), microtitre plates or cryotubes are frequently used in this incubator. Special microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus or Saccharomyces cerevisiae also find ideal growth conditions here.

FAQs on use in the laboratory

How is precise temperature control achieved?

The temperature is set and monitored precisely via a user-friendly digital control panel. The convection technology ensures homogeneous distribution throughout the entire interior.

Which sample containers can be used?

The flexible shelves allow for the placement of Petri dishes, culture dishes, cell culture bottles or similar laboratory containers up to a maximum load of 50 kg.

How energy-efficient is the device?

With only 60 Wh/h in operation at 3 °C, this model is one of the most energy-efficient laboratory incubators available.

Does the model comply with current safety standards?

Yes, the device is CE-certified, complies with current DIN standards and meets all relevant requirements for laboratory and medical use.

How quickly can incubation resume after opening the door?

Temperature stability is maintained thanks to a fast recovery time of just 5 minutes after opening the door for 30 seconds, even with sensitive samples.

Conclusion

The BF115 is a laboratory incubator that supports every demanding laboratory routine with precise temperature control, high reliability and user-friendly operation. Its versatile applications in microbiology, cell culture research and quality assurance make it an indispensable standard device for professional users in the laboratory environment.
