climatichumiditytemperature

Product description
The proven specialist for reliable ICH stability tests in the pharmaceutical industry: the KBF masters all long-term tests, accelerated tests and stress tests. It fulfills all important ICH requirements, from precision to programming and documentation. With flexible water supply options for all installation locations. In addition, the new KBF consumes up to 40 % less energy than its predecessor. With optional light modules, the KBF can be converted into an ICH photostability chamber and a plant growth chamber.
