Precision and contamination protection with Binder CO₂ incubators

Cultivating sensitive cells requires exact control of CO₂ concentration and temperature. Binder CO₂ incubators, such as the CB 56, CB 170, and CBF 170 models, utilise a heat-sterilisable CO₂ sensor with infrared technology. This sensor ensures stable pH values in the medium, while hot air sterilisation at 180 °C provides reliable sterility in the interior.

Technical features and model variants

Within this category, users will find incubators with an interior volume ranging from 53 litres to 170 litres. While the standard CB series forms the basis for cell culture applications, the CBF series additionally offers active humidity control. The temperature range varies by model, for example from ambient temperature plus 4 °C up to 60 °C, allowing flexibility for various incubation protocols.

Safety through hot air sterilisation

A decisive selection criterion for Binder units is the hygiene concept. Integrated hot air sterilisation allows the entire interior, including the CO₂ sensor, to be decontaminated without removing components. This significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination in research and diagnostics and saves time on manual cleaning of the CO₂ incubators.

Frequently asked questions about Binder CO₂ incubators

Find answers here to technical and application-specific questions regarding Binder incubation systems.

What are Binder CO₂ incubators primarily used for?

These units are used for the cultivation of cells and tissues under controlled conditions. They are applied in biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, and medical diagnostics, where stable CO₂ levels and temperatures are essential for cell growth.

Which chamber volume is suitable for my laboratory?

Selection depends on sample throughput. Compact models like the CB 56 with 53 litres are suitable for smaller sample quantities or limited space, while the 170-litre variants (CB 170 / CBF 170) offer sufficient space for larger cultivation series.

What is the significance of hot air sterilisation in these units?

Hot air sterilisation at 180 °C is a standard feature of Binder CO₂ incubators. It ensures that bacteria and spores in the interior are reliably killed, which is particularly important for avoiding contamination during lengthy cell culture processes.

What is the difference between the CB and CBF series?

While both series feature hot air sterilisation and IR CO₂ sensors, the CBF series additionally offers active humidity control. This is advantageous for applications where exact control of humidity is necessary to avoid evaporation effects in culture vessels.

Which sensor technology is used for CO₂ measurement?

In these models, Binder uses heat-sterilisable CO₂ sensors with infrared technology (IR). These sensors measure CO₂ concentration independently of humidity and can remain in the unit during the sterilisation process.

How do I receive an individual quote for a Binder incubator?

Professional customers can submit a specific price enquiry for each model via the corresponding button. Professional advice on configuring units for specific laboratory requirements is also available upon request.

How is temperature stability ensured in the incubators?

The units use a precise heating system that covers temperatures from ambient temperature plus 4 °C or 6 °C up to 60 °C, depending on the model. The design ensures homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the entire interior to guarantee uniform growth conditions.
