Binder BD-400 Standard Incubator
Overview
The Binder BD-400 is a high-capacity laboratory incubator utilizing gravity (natural) convection for stable and homogeneous thermal conditions. This 400-liter model is engineered for long-term operation and reproducible results in microbiological applications where gentle airflow is required to prevent sample desiccation.
Highlights
- APT.line preheating chamber technology ensures high temperature accuracy and spatial uniformity.
- Adjustable exhaust air flap facilitates precise control over air exchange and humidity levels inside the chamber.
- Inner glass door allows for visual inspection of samples without disrupting the internal thermal environment.
- Controller with timer functions and integrated over-temperature safety device for reliable sample protection.
