Easy Guide to Incubators

CO2 Incubators with 180° C sterilization

CO2 Incubators with 180° C sterilization
The BINDER C-Series and CB-Series CO2 Incubators with 180° Hot Air Sterilization are the incubators of choice for cell culture labs mindful of contamination issues or working with pathogens. Sterilization at 180° has been shown to be more effective for completely killing contaminants than UV light or decontamination incubators utilizing temperatures lower than 180°. The BINDER CO2 incubators also have drift-free infrared (IR) CO2 measurement and the Permadry™ system for condensation-free interior.

Water-Jacketed CO2

Water-Jacketed CO2
The new look of the SHEL LAB 3500 Series CO2 Water-Jacketed Incubators include great new features! All models now come standard with an infrared (IR) CO2 sensor for rapid CO2 recovery, and the new anti-corrosion anode allows for the optional use of distilled or tap water to fill the 19 gallon water jacket. Fully coved corners making cleaning simple and the CO2 sample port along with all of the data logger connections are in the front control panel for quick and easy access. Also available is the model 3503 1.8 cubic foot Personal CO2 Water-Jacketed Incubator.

CO2 Shaking Incubator

CO2 Shaking Incubator
The MaxQ2000 CO2 Resistant Shaker operates in temperature ranges of 0° to 40° and humidity conditions from 20 to 80% noncondensing enabling it to operate in incubators, warm rooms, environmental chambers, and refrigerators. This specially treated CO2 resistant shaker withstands up to 10% CO2, enabling it to be used in CO2 cell culture incubators.

Shaking Bench Top Incubators

Shaking Bench Top Incubators
The Lab Companion SI-300 and SI-600 Incubated Shakers are available in either standard or refrigerated models, and can be set for orbital or reciprocal motion. Intuitive programming and variety of different platform and clamp options provide unparalleled convenience and flexibility no matter the application.

The Labnet 311DS is a high performance incubator with a built-in orbital shaker. A broad temperature range expands the use of this incubator to liquid cultures, washing blots and other shaking applications requiring strict temperature control. In addition to the shaking platform that can accommodate a rubber mat or flask clamps, each 311DS is also supplied with one fixed shelf.

Floor Model Shaker Incubators

Floor Model Shaker Incubators
The Lab Companion IS-971 Floor Incubated Shakers are available in either standard or refrigerated models, and can be set for orbital or reciprocal motion. Parameters such as temperature, speed, shaking time, and motion are easily set and values can be viewed in separate LED displays. Multiple platform and clamp options make the IS-971 ideal for shaking flasks, tubes, separatory funnels, or microplates.

Bench Top Incubators

The Lab Companion™ IB Series Air-Jacketed Incubators offer excellent performance at a great value. With features such as digital microprocessor controller, door and over-temperature alarm, magnetic inner glass door with dial handle, 99hr 59min timer with delay on/off, and Celsius Fahrenheit temperature selectivity, these incubators provide convenience and flexibility.

Labnet’s 311 and 611 High Performance Air-Jacketed Incubators feature a broad temperature range and a digital microprocessor for precise control. Incubator temperature is set and displayed digitally and the temperature is easily set using the membrane keypad. Heating can be set to gravity convection, or for more rapid temperature change and better uniformity, mechanical convection.

Refrigeratered Incubators

Refrigeratered Incubators
The Lab Companion Personal Low Temperature Incubators with a temperature range of 5° to 40° are suited for a wide variety of applications. Loaded with features, these low temperature incubators deliver high performance in an economical, compact design.

The BINDER KB-Series Refrigerated Incubators are the all-rounder for microorganisms. With their wide range of individual programming functions, including a real-time clock function and an enormous temperature span from -10°C to 100°C, they can be used for a broad range of sophisticated applications in laboratories – with minimal dehumidification of specimens and impressive extra performance.

Reach-In Large Incubators

Reach-In Large Incubators
The Model RI28 and RI40 Reach-In Incubators provide extra-large capacities while minimizing the amount of floor space used. This large space is kept uniform by integrating a highly responsive microprocessor with the appropriately sized heating element. A totally independent secondary temperature controller offers the added security of over-temperature protection. Our unique forced air circulation system creates a one-pass circulation pattern that provides both exceptional temperature uniformity and rapid heat recovery. The chamber floors are ruggedly reinforced to support roller apparatus or shakers.

Refrigeratered Freezers

Refrigeratered Freezers
Whether storing enzymes, performing ligations, or incubating microtubes, the Boekel Polar Block™ II Bench Top Freezer and TropiCooler™ Bench Top Cooler/Heater are a great alternative to larger, more expensive pieces of equipment. The Polar Block™ II maintains temperature 25°to 39° below ambient (typically -15°) and has one block with a capacity of 14 x 1.5ml tubes. The TropiCooler™ has a temperature range of -19° to +69° and has two blocks, each with a capacity of 14 x 1.5ml tubes. Additional blocks for different size tubes are also available.

Portable Coolers

Portable Coolers
The IsoFreeze Flipper Temperature Maintenance Racks offer excellent performance and flexibility when samples and enzymes need thermal protection for extended periods outside of the freezer. With two different rack styles available, samples can be held at 0 degrees Celsius for a minimum of five hours or between -10 and -20 degrees Celsius for up to three hours. Each IsoFreeze Rack can be flipped to accommodate either 20 1.5/2.0ml tubes on one side or 20 0.5ml tubes on the other.

Dry Bath - Incubators (Digital)

Dry Bath - Incubators (Digital)
A broad temperature range to 150° make the AccuBlock™ Digital Dry Baths and Heating Blocks useful for a variety of applications in molecular biology, histology, clinical, environmental and industrial laboratories. Although the price of these baths is comparable to analog models, they feature microprocessor control and digital setting/display of temperature. Both Single and dual block models are available. The single block unit will accept all of the standard blocks. For increased capacity, the dual block unit accepts two standard blocks or one specially designed dual block. Each AccuBlock™ Dry Bath is supplied with a block lifter.

Environmental Chambers

Environmental Chambers
The BINDER KBF Series Environmental Simulation Chambers were particularly designed for absolutely reliable stability tests and precise maintenance of constant climatic conditions. It naturally also complies with all applicable guidelines such as ICH, FDA, GMP and GLP, with respect to programming and documentation requirements; with its large reserve capacity and many optional features, it is designed to meet future challenges for many years to come.

The KBF-ICH Series offers the following impressive expanded photostability test features: two spherical, non-directional sensors capture the available light quantity at a specific sampling location; this flexible method has proven more reliable than those found in any other systems and, in combination with BINDER’s light integration, is the only method of simulating the chemical actinometry electronically in accordance with ICH Q1B. BINDER has patented this process and is the only company offering this system.
