for bacteria culturesnatural convectionrefrigerated

Product description
The KB 1060 is a cooling incubator designed for microorganism cultivation with a wide temperature range and a large internal volume. It maintains precise and uniform incubation conditions even under full load, includes a hot-air disinfection routine and programmable secondary setpoint. The latest KB 1060 variants reduce energy consumption by up to 40% compared with the previous model.
