Product Description – Binder CBF 260 CO₂ Incubator
The Binder CBF 260 CO₂ incubator delivers top-tier performance for laboratories that demand precise CO₂ and humidity control in a larger-capacity format. As part of Binder’s high-end CBF series, it is designed for sensitive incubation tasks in GMP-compliant environments, offering superior contamination protection and a stable atmosphere for cell cultures, tissue engineering, and pharmaceutical research.
Featuring superheated steam humidification without the need for a water pan, the CBF 260 eliminates common contamination risks while maintaining consistent humidity levels. Combined with 180°C hot air sterilization and a hot-air sterilizable CO₂ sensor, it provides a fully sterile incubation environment with minimal maintenance requirements.
The incubator’s fanless interior, Venturi gas mixing nozzle, and seamless stainless steel chamber ensure uniform conditions without turbulence—ideal for long-term cell culture and sensitive assays. A responsive touchscreen interface and integrated data logger with USB output support regulatory compliance and streamlined monitoring.
With optional O₂ control (0.2–20% or 10–90%), multi-section glass doors, and stacking adapters, the CBF 260 offers flexibility for complex experiments and efficient space usage in high-throughput labs.
