KB 400 Cooling Incubator – Performance, Energy Efficiency, and Reliability for Laboratories
The KB 400 cooling incubator is a high-end device designed to meet the needs of laboratories and research environments requiring precise temperature control. With a temperature range from -10 °C to +100 °C, this incubator is especially suitable for microbiological applications, ensuring uniform and safe culture conditions even when fully loaded. Thanks to its APT.line™ preheating chamber technology, the KB 400 ensures efficient and rapid thermal regulation, ideal for precise microbiological culture protocols.
A standout feature of the KB 400 is its ability to reduce energy consumption by up to 30% compared to its previous model, making it a more eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for laboratories concerned about their environmental impact. This energy efficiency gain is made possible by its compressor-based cooling unit and door heating technology, which optimize performance while reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the adjustable fan speed ensures optimal airflow circulation, which is essential for maintaining a uniform temperature inside the incubator, crucial for sensitive experiments.
The incubator is designed with superior materials to ensure exceptional durability and ease of maintenance. The interior features two stainless steel shelves, ideal for supporting heavy loads while maintaining sample stability and integrity. The incubator also comes with a tempered glass inner door, allowing for easy visual inspection while maintaining maximum thermal insulation. Furthermore, the incubator has a 30 mm silicone plug access port on the left side, enabling easy integration of sensors or other instruments for additional analyses without disrupting internal conditions.
To ensure maximum safety of cultures, the KB 400 is equipped with a Class 3.1 independent temperature safety device (DIN 12880), with both visual and audible alarms in case of temperature deviation. This device is essential to prevent any deviation from critical temperature conditions, providing peace of mind to users. With its Ethernet computer interface, the incubator can be easily integrated into a laboratory management network, enabling remote control and monitoring of temperature conditions and operational parameters.
In terms of design, the KB 400 combines practicality and robustness. It is equipped with four casters, two of which have brakes, making it easy to move and install in workspaces. The incubator has external dimensions of 925 mm width, 1950 mm height, and 805 mm depth, while its internal dimensions provide a net volume of 400 L, offering ample space for large quantities of microbiological cultures.
With a sound pressure level of 53 dB(A), the incubator operates quietly, making it suitable even for work environments requiring low background noise. In summary, the KB 400 cooling incubator is one of the best choices for modern laboratories, offering an unmatched combination of performance, reliability, and energy efficiency. Its innovative design and features make it an indispensable tool for any laboratory looking to ensure precise results while optimizing energy consumption.
