Binder CB 170 CO2 Incubator Stack for Controlled Cell Culture and Bioprocessing

The Binder CB 170 CO2 Incubator Stack is a laboratory-grade controlled atmosphere incubator designed for biotechnological and biomedical research applications such as cell culture, molecular diagnostics, and synthetic biology workflows. This stackable system provides a combined capacity of 340 liters split into two thermally isolated chambers, each with independent climate control, enabling simultaneous multi-parameter incubations within a compact footprint.

Key technical features include:

• Temperature range: 5°C to 60°C, supporting a broad spectrum of incubation protocols
• Humidity range: 90% to 95%, regulated via an optimized double-pan humidification system with condensation protection critical for mammalian cell cultures and tissue engineering
• CO2 regulation: Infrared CO2 sensor coupled with a fanless Venturi gas-mixing nozzle ensures precise and uniform CO2 levels essential for maintaining stable pH during cell culture and bioprocessing
• Stack design: Thermally isolated stacking adapter between chambers minimizes thermal interference, while the total unit height of 1.8 meters allows ergonomic access to upper shelves without additional equipment
• Sterilization: Automated 180°C hot air sterilization cycle limits microbial contamination, essential for molecular cloning, gene editing, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines requiring aseptic conditions
• User interface: Intuitive touchscreen control panel with real-time display of set parameters improves operational efficiency and reproducibility
• Additional features: Inner glass doors for non-invasive sample monitoring, visual and acoustic safety alarms, and one perforated stainless-steel shelf included per chamber

The Binder CB 170 CO2 Incubator Stack is widely adopted in biotechnology research fields, including live-cell imaging, tissue culture, and synthetic biology, where precise environmental control and contamination prevention are paramount. Its robust design and advanced features make it a critical instrument in molecular diagnostics and bioprocess development labs striving for consistent, reliable cell culture conditions.
