BINDER GmbH continues its innovation campaign by presenting a new product at the L.A.B. 2007 in London, UK (Booth B 10). BINDER, the global leader in specialized simulation chambers for scientific and industrial applications has developed a new generation of CO2-incubators, again demonstrating its strong focus on introducing cutting edge technology to its customers.

The new BINDER C 150 CO2-incubator with its standard hot-air sterilization at 180ºC represents a new standard in cell cultivation. You're guaranteed optimum cell growth, absolutely free of contamination, even for routine cell culture applications. High temperature precision with outstanding dynamics and an interior that is condensation-free even at high humidity levels and a FPI infrared measuring system without drift error ensure stable pH values with optimal cell cultivation.

The seamless, deep-drawn inner chamber now has 27% less surface area, and thus less potential surface for contamination. Substantially reduced effort in cleaning is another plus. The C 150 also has an impressive new exterior design. In laboratories, it can be easily stacked without sacrificing any ease of use. Interior fittings have been reduced to the absolute minimum, which means that the C 150 offers the best usable-space-to-volume ratio in its class, with 17% more usable space than comparable equipment.

The optimal incubator for all routine applications, including incubation of monolayer cultures for different cell lines, cell culture technologies, and cell-based assays in cell biology used for basic research at universities and research institutions. The ideal incubator for those who want to focus on the essentials, and who expect the traditional BINDER reliability that they have come to rely on for cell cultivation.

Cell Adhesion AssaysCell adhesion assays are used to quantitate attachment and analyze the molecular mechanisms for extracellular matrix adhesion, cell migration and sensitivity to inhibitors. Find the best cell adhesion assay equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
