Product Description – Binder CB 170 CO₂ Incubator
The Binder CB 170 CO₂ incubator is a high-performance solution designed for demanding applications in cell-based assays, medical research, and pharmaceutical development. Part of the premium CB series, this incubator offers precise environmental control, contamination protection, and a versatile configuration ideal for even the most complex cultivation experiments, including hypoxic conditions.
Thanks to its 180°C hot air sterilization and heat-sterilizable CO₂ sensor, the CB 170 ensures a sterile environment with no chemical contamination risk. The seamless stainless-steel inner chamber, fanless design, and Venturi CO₂ gas mixing nozzle support uniform conditions and easy cleaning—making this incubator a preferred choice in regulated lab environments.
Key features include an intuitive touchscreen controller, internal data logging via USB, and fail-safe CO₂ regulation to maintain optimal pH conditions. Connectivity is seamless with Ethernet, USB, and zero-voltage alarm contacts, while a fault diagnosis system provides clear alerts to ensure continuous operation.
Optional upgrades such as O₂ control (0.2–20% or 10–90%), multi-sectional glass doors, and a stacking adapter make the CB 170 adaptable to a wide range of lab setups.
