Even more space for your cultures: BINDER CO₂- incubators now have a new inner chamber with 25% extra usable space

BINDER GmbH invests more than 10% of its annual sales revenue in research and development. This investment pays off, as evidenced by the company’s new products, product innovations, and developments for 2008.

Series CB equipment is mainly used for sensitive incubation applications in scientific laboratories. BINDER now offers even more precision with its latest inner chamber design. This new inner chamber comes with integrated, smooth-edged shelf supports, which are formed as part of the inner chamber wall in the deep-draw process during manufacture. This means that the inner chamber now has 25% extra usable space. Since there are no interior fittings, substantially less cleaning is required. All CB series CO₂-incubators incorporate hot air sterilization at 180 ºC (356 ºF) to ensure maximum sterile conditions, while the proven Permadry^®-System keeps inner walls free of moisture.

Safety through Intelligent Fail-Safe

Optimal cell growth requires a stable and balanced pH. An initial pH from pH 7.2 to 7.4 provides virtually ideal conditions. Cell cultures are extremely sensitive to equilibrium fluctuations. A constantly controlled CO₂ feed will maintain the necessary pH stability within the incubator. During cell cultivation, the actual gas feed is permanently and automatically monitored and compared to the recorded value data. In the event of deviations, the Intelligent Fail-Safe system controls the CO₂ feed, providing immediate pH stabilization. This eliminates any adverse effects on cell growth that may otherwise occur when pH values are outside of tolerance limits. BINDER offers this patented Intelligent Fail-Safe System for monitoring the CO₂ concentration in its CB series CO₂-incubators.

Other available options are a controlled oxygen feed for variable O₂ values during hyper or hypoxic cultivation conditions, and a gas-tight, partitioned inner glass door.
