Description
Binder BF 260 Laboratory Incubator – High-Performance Incubation with Forced Convection for Demanding Workloads
The Binder BF 260 laboratory incubator from the Avantgarde.Line series is engineered for laboratories that require precise temperature control, rapid heat-up, and uniform conditions across a large interior volume. With a spacious 260-liter chamber and forced convection, it delivers reliable incubation results even under heavy workloads and full-chamber loading.
Equipped with APT.line™ preheating chamber technology, the BF 260 ensures consistent temperature distribution throughout the entire chamber—critical for reproducibility in microbiological and pharmaceutical applications. The temperature range of +7–8 °C above ambient to 100 °C supports a wide variety of incubation processes, from microbial growth to sample stability studies.
This model combines intelligent performance with user-focused design. The LCD controller, tempered glass inner door, and electromechanical exhaust air flap control enable efficient and intuitive operation. The Class 3.1 independent safety system (DIN 12880) ensures peace of mind in regulated lab environments, and a USB port provides convenient data logging for documentation and traceability.
