Binder CB150-UL Air-Jacketed CO2 Incubator with Hot-Air Sterilization, 5.4 Cu-Ft Capacity

The Binder CB150-UL is an advanced air-jacketed CO2 incubator engineered for precise temperature and gas atmosphere control, essential for demanding cell and tissue culture applications in biotechnology and biomedical research. Featuring a 5.4 cubic feet (153 L) capacity, it supports next-generation cell culturing protocols with reliable environmental stability and contamination control.

• Temperature control: Maintains 7°C above ambient up to 60°C, with ±0.1°C fluctuation and ±0.3°C variation at 37°C, ensuring highly reproducible growth conditions ideal for molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology workflows.
• Gas regulation: Incorporates a drift-free infrared CO2 sensor (0–20% range, ±0.1% accuracy) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) O2 sensor (0.2–95% range, ±0.1% accuracy), critical for live-cell imaging and bioprocessing applications requiring tight atmospheric control.
• Hot-air sterilization: Enables on-demand heat decontamination up to 180°C, meeting compliance standards for contamination-free cultivation, widely used in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• Humidity management: The Permadry condensation-free double-pan humidification system maintains 95% RH average and dry interior walls to minimize contamination risk.
• User interface: Features an electronically controlled APT line preheating chamber, user-friendly LCD display with menu guide, integrated electronic chart recorder, real-time clock, and optional GMP/GLP-compliant APT-COM data control system interface (RS 422).
• Construction: Stainless steel weldless deep-drawn inner chamber with integrated shelf supports, door lock, tightly-fitting inner glass door, and VENTAIR jacket system for uniform temperature distribution.
• Safety and monitoring: Equipped with electronic self-diagnostics, optical and audible alarms, relay contact for centralized monitoring, and an independent adjustable class 3.1 temperature safety device to prevent overheating.

This CO2 incubator is critical in biotechnological laboratories for maintaining optimal cell and tissue culture environments, essential in gene editing research, biomanufacturing, and clinical diagnostics. Its precise temperature and gas control, combined with robust sterilization, make it a valuable asset for researchers engaged in molecular cloning workflows and synthetic biology research requiring contamination-free, reproducible incubation.
