Frequently Asked Questions About This Model
What applications is the BINDER CB170 CO2 incubator suitable for?
The CB170 is specifically designed for cell culture work in research laboratories and biotechnology. With a temperature range from RT +4°C to 60°C and precise CO2 control via infrared sensor, it is ideally suited for cultivating mammalian cells, tissue cultures, and microbiological applications. The 170-liter volume provides ample space for multiple culture flasks and Petri dishes.
How does hot-air sterilization work in the BINDER CB170?
The CB170 features a proven anti-contamination concept with 180°C hot-air sterilization. This heats the entire interior, including the CO2 sensor, to 180°C, reliably killing bacteria, fungi, and spores. This regularly performable sterilization significantly minimizes contamination risks and extends the service life of your cell cultures without the use of aggressive chemicals.
Which laboratories and industries is the BINDER CB170 particularly suitable for?
The CO2 incubator CB170 is aimed at university research institutions, biotechnology companies, the pharmaceutical industry, and medical laboratories. With its seamless stainless steel inner chamber, the CO2 fail-safe system for pH protection, and the error diagnostic system with alarms, it meets the highest requirements for reliability and documentation in GLP/GMP environments. The touchscreen controller and Ethernet interface enable modern laboratory integration.
What distinguishes the BINDER CB170 from standard CO2 incubators?
The CB170 stands out with its heat-sterilizable CO2 sensor featuring single-beam infrared technology, which, unlike thermal sensors, shows no drift. The optimized double-dish humidification system with anti-condensation protection prevents condensation. The fan-free interior with Venturi CO2 gas mixing nozzle ensures even distribution without turbulence. The internal data logger with USB export in open format significantly simplifies documentation.
What accessories are needed to operate the BINDER CB170?
Operation requires a 230V connection (50/60 Hz, 10 A) and a CO2 gas supply. Optional accessories such as various insert systems, shelves, and inserts are available according to the flyer and matched to the 170-liter volume. The seamless inner chamber with beading as shelf support enables flexible space organization. The Ethernet and USB interfaces allow networking and data transfer without additional hardware.
