BINDER equipment can be used for a variety of means.
Laboratories looking to test the impacts of specific environmental conditions on different materials, electronic devices and components, would be well-advised to invest in a BINDER simulation test chamber oven or incubator.
There is a BINDER test chamber suitable for every application. Indeed, BINDER ovens are currently used in a range of industrial sectors, including:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Biotechnology
- Chemicals
- Cosmetics
- Food and beverage
- Medical and pharmaceutical
With a highly diverse product portfolio - consisting of co2 incubators, constant climate chambers, cooling incubators, drying and heating chambers, growth chambers, safety drying chambers, ultralow temperature freezers, vacuum drying chambers - understanding which Binder test chamber is best suited to the needs of your business may not be easy. This blog will explain the difference between each range of Binder’s product line to better help you select the simulation chamber according to its intended application.
Growth Chambers
Growth chambers provide the ideal climate for both incubation and plant growth. Each chamber will supply a pre provided value of C02, 02 and light, whilst also controlling both the temperature and humidity within the unit.
This enables reliable conditions that can be repeated to allow growth. Chambers within this product line include: C02 incubators, standard incubators, cooling incubators & growth chambers. An Example of growth chambers are the BINDER CB range (see below).
BINDER growth chambers ensure constant light, temperature and humidity to permit plant/organism growth. The KB/KBW/KBWF series is equipped with additional functionality to control for humidity inside the test chamber.
Cold Storage Chambers
Ultra-low temperature (ULT) storage is required often to retain the quality and value of delicate samples. There needs to be a confidence that these samples are stored consistently at the temperature that is required.
For ULT storage, one must also consider energy consumption alongside the use of climate-neutral refrigerants. BINDER’s revolutionary cold storage chambers hit the nail on the head, by providing an energy-efficient and reliable place to store sensitive samples.
With BINDER ultralow temperature freezers provide users with long-term storage options for sensitive samples, at temperatures as low as -86°C.
Drying & Heating Chambers
A drying oven requires three main attributes – accuracy of temperature, distribution heat and drying that is residue free. They are often used in labs or industrial settings for incubating, sterilising, or temperature-testing sensitive equipment.
In this process, it is important that this process is not undertaken too hastily or not fast enough. If this is the case, then the results would be uneven and inaccurate.
BINDER offers solutions with either natural or forced convection, for either safety or vacuum drying.
The VD and VDL drying chambers dry samples gently to avoid oxidation or scaling. Both flammable and inflammable samples can be quickly dried using these vacuum drying chambers.
Environmental Testing Chambers
These chambers enable the manipulation of environmental conditions within an enclosed space. This allows for controlled testing of subjects, such as components, to see how they would react within differing environmental conditions.
Often these chambers are used for research or quality assurance purposes. BINDER offers dynamic solutions to test specimens within reliable environments, whether they are active or passive.
These dynamic climate chambers allow users to test the impacts of more complex, changing climate and temperature profiles within the range of -40°C (MK/MKF) or -70°C (MKT/MKFT) up to 180 °C (all models). The MKF and MKFT series also enable users to regulate humidity levels within the range of 10% to 98% RH.
BINDER environmental simulation chambers feature the latest technology to guarantee accurate, replicable results!
All BINDER test chamber ovens have been designed to meet strict laboratory requirements, and are equipped with the latest cutting edge technology, designed to meet the very highest demands in scientific and industrial industries. With every constant climate, incubator and drying/heating chamber, users can be assured of accurate simulations of specific chemical, biological or environmental conditions. Binder are international market leaders that pride themselves on routinely delivering ‘made in Germany’ quality test chambers that are able to support a wide range of applications and processes.
BINDER’s expertise and innovation, coupled with extensive research and productive development, ensure that every simulation chamber provides real added value to all laboratories. The 22,000 Binder environmental chambers sold annually to laboratories around the globe further illustrates the benefit each test chamber oven brings to each research facility.
It really is no surprise why so many respected companies and research facilities depend on BINDER environmental simulation chambers.
With such a wide range of BINDER climatic chambers and incubators available, Kaisertech are well-placed to suggest which model would be best suited to the needs of your business. Give us a call on +44 (0)23 8065 0065 to discuss your requirements, pricing and arranging an on-site demonstration.
