Laboratory incubator BF 400

for bacteria culturesforced convectionconstant temperature

Product description
The BINDER incubator of the BF series with mechanical (forced) convection is designed for gentle bacteriological incubation tasks, especially under full loads and high batch throughputs. The unit delivers high thermal homogeneity and short recovery times.

Benefits

• Safe and reproducible incubation results even with high batch throughput in continuous operation
• Disinfection routine at 100 °C
• Stable interior atmosphere thanks to inner tempered glass door

Important characteristics

• Temperature range: from +5 °C above ambient temperature to +100 °C
• APT.line™ preheating chamber technology
• Adjustable fan speed
• Adjustable exhaust air flap
• Controller with timer functions
• Inner door made of tempered safety glass (ESG)
• 2 chrome-plated racks (standard)
• Class 3.1 independent temperature safety device (DIN 12880) with visual temperature alarm
• Computer interface: RS 422
