BF 400 by Binder: Forced Convection Laboratory Incubator, Reliability, and Performance
The BF 400 incubator from Binder is a benchmark in precision incubation for laboratories and environments requiring homogeneous and controlled temperatures. Its forced convection system, combined with APT.line™ technology, ensures perfect heat distribution, guaranteeing optimal thermal stability even under maximum load conditions. This equipment is designed to meet the needs of microbiology laboratories, research institutions, and pharmaceutical industries where reliability and precision are crucial.
With an adjustable temperature range from +5 °C above ambient temperature to 100 °C, the BF 400 provides ideal incubation conditions for various samples and cultures. Its adjustable ventilation system optimizes air circulation and promotes uniform incubation conditions. The design of the device minimizes temperature fluctuations and variations, ensuring reproducible results.
One of the key features of the BF 400 is its Class 3.1 (DIN 12880) thermal safety device, providing reliable protection against accidental overheating. Its rapid temperature recovery system after door opening (5 minutes at 37 °C) optimizes incubation process efficiency and reduces cycle interruptions. The apparatus is also equipped with an inner door made of tempered glass, allowing easy monitoring without disturbing the internal environment.
This Binder incubator also stands out with its RS 422 communication interface, enabling the monitoring of incubation conditions via suitable software. Its ergonomics are enhanced by the presence of two chromed shelves, with an expandable capacity of up to 9 shelves, offering flexibility according to the laboratory's needs.
Another advantage of the BF 400 is its integrated 100 °C disinfection function, which simplifies maintenance and ensures a clean and sterile environment for sensitive applications. This feature is particularly essential for preventing cross-contamination and ensuring the long-term reliability of experiments.
With an internal capacity of 400 liters, a net weight of 145 kg, and optimized dimensions for workspace, this incubator is designed to easily integrate into a demanding laboratory environment. Its robust construction and low energy consumption (56 Wh/h at 37 °C) make it a durable and economical choice for professionals.
The user also benefits from numerous options and accessories to customize the incubator according to specific needs: audible alarms, additional temperature sensors, reinforced shelves, calibration certificates, and data management software compliant with GLP and FDA standards.
