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 sterilisation at 180 ºC (356 ºF) to ensure maximum sterile conditions, while the proven Permadry® - System keeps inner walls free of moisture.
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 stabilisation. 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.
