BINDER FD 23, drying and heating cabinet with forced air circulation, FD023-230V
The BINDER FD 23 FD023-230V is a high-precision drying and heating oven with forced convection, which serves as an indispensable instrument in pharmaceutical quality assurance, biotechnology research and materials science laboratories. At the heart of its technological superiority lies the patented APT.line™ preheating chamber technology. From a thermodynamic perspective, this system ensures homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the entire 20-litre chamber volume by directing the air flow in a controlled and symmetrical manner into the interior from both sides. For laboratory procurement officers and scientific staff, this means maximum reliability in the thermal treatment of samples, as spatial temperature gradients are physically minimised. The BINDER FD 23 FD023-230V thus ensures absolutely reproducible sample conditioning, which is of fundamental importance for the validation of SOPs in accordance with GLP/GMP guidelines. Thermodynamic efficiency and forced convection The effectiveness of the BINDER FD 23 FD023-230V is based on the targeted use of forced convection. Compared with cabinets featuring free convection (natural air circulation), this model offers a significantly higher heating rate and faster temperature recovery after the door is opened. This is particularly critical in time-sensitive drying processes or when heating media with high heat capacity. The fluid-dynamic airflow ensures that moisture is efficiently removed from the sample surface. Via a manually adjustable exhaust air flap, the user can precisely control the air exchange rate and thus the kinetics of mass transfer. In pharmaceutical research, for example, this enables the precise adjustment of the drying rate for sensitive powders or granules, in order to physically prevent thermal degradation or undesirable crystallisation processes. Material resilience and ergonomic design The interior of the BINDER FD 23 FD023-230V is constructed from high-quality stainless steel (grade 1.4301), which offers excellent corrosion resistance and chemical inertness. This is a key selling point for laboratories working with aggressive reagents or high levels of humidity during the drying process. The smooth interior surface, free from any protruding parts, allows for residue-free decontamination and cleaning, which minimises the risk of cross-contamination in multi-user settings at universities. Mechanical integrity is supported by a highly efficient insulating layer that physically limits heat loss to the outside. This not only results in high energy efficiency but also protects staff from burns on the appliance surface – an important aspect of health and safety in the hectic day-to-day life of a laboratory. Cybernetic control and metrological reliability The BINDER FD 23 FD023-230V is controlled via a microprocessor-based controller with an LCD display, which allows digital temperature setting with an accuracy of one-tenth of a degree. To ensure the safety of samples and equipment, an independent Class 2 temperature monitor (DIN 12880) is integrated. This acts as a cybernetic safety system: should the setpoint temperature be exceeded due to a fault, the visual alarm is triggered and the heating is switched off to prevent a thermal runaway scenario. For pharmaceutical companies requiring comprehensive documentation, BINDER offers optional software solutions and interfaces to transfer thermal profiles directly to a LIMS. This metrological precision makes the unit ideal for demanding applications such as the sterilisation of glassware or the thermal ageing of polymers under strictly controlled conditions. Business benefits and sustainability Finally, thanks to its durability and low-maintenance operation, the BINDER FD 23 FD023-230V offers an outstanding total cost of ownership (TCO). The robust ‘Made in Germany’ construction guarantees a long service life even when operated at full capacity on a daily basis. For educational institutions, the simple, intuitive operation is also an advantage, minimising the risk of operating errors by students. The compact design allows it to be installed even in small laboratory units, whilst the ability to stack multiple units maximises space efficiency within the laboratory. With this drying oven, you are investing in a system that combines physical precision with industrial durability.

BINDER BD 56 Standard Incubator, natural convection, 57 L, 9010-0323
Thermodynamic APT.line™ architecture and natural convection The reproducible cultivation of sensitive microbiological matrices (such as fungi and bacterial colonies on agar plates) strictly precludes the use of forced air flows (fans). The BINDER BD 56 operates according to the fluid dynamics principle of natural convection. The thermal energy is not supplied directly to the 57-litre interior, but via the patented APT.line™ (Advanced Preheating Chamber Technology). The electric heating elements are encapsulated in a thermodynamic air jacket outside the actual chamber. The thermal energy is transferred into the chamber over a large area and homogeneously, exclusively via conduction (heat transfer) through the stainless-steel walls. This physical gradient generates an extremely gentle, purely thermally driven laminar upward flow. This fanless flow mechanism completely eliminates aerodynamic stress on the samples, prevents significant evaporation of cell culture media (dehydration of agar plates) and physically prevents microbial cross-contamination caused by stirred-up spores. Metrological cybernetics and isochoric temperature stability Precise control of microbiological metabolic kinetics requires seamless temperature homogeneity. The BD 56 operates using a cybernetic PID control algorithm that is directly coupled to a high-resolution Pt100 temperature sensor. The system covers a thermodynamic operating range from 5 °C above room temperature up to 100 °C. The anticipatory modulation of the electrical heating power compensates for the physical latency of the air jacket and eliminates thermal overshoot (temperature overshoot) with absolute reliability upon reaching the target temperature. Via an electromechanically controlled exhaust air damper, the user can modulate the air exchange rate coefficient within the system to remove excess metabolic gases from the cultures in a controlled manner, without compromising the isochoric temperature stability of ± 0.1 K. System hermeticity and thermal decontamination kinetics The complete prevention of cellular carry-over effects requires uncompromising material architectures. The deep-drawn inner chamber of the BD 56 is monolithically manufactured from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel (grade 1.4301), with no corners or weld seams, which geometrically prevents the accumulation of microbial biofilms. To sterilise the unit between critical batch changes, the system utilises a defined thermodynamic decontamination mode at 100 °C. Over a defined period, this process leads to the irreversible denaturation of the protein structures of contaminating foreign nucleic acids or mycoplasma. An integrated, full-surface inner door made of real glass enables metrological and visual inspection of microbial growth without breaching the thermal boundary layer of the main door and triggering a massive drop in temperature (disturbance pulse) within the system. Technical details Thermodynamics & Heating Technology Operating temperature range: room temperature + 5 °C to 100 °C Heat transfer technology: APT.line™ preheating chamber technology Thermal decontamination: Integrated routine at 100 °C Heating time (to 37 °C @ 22 °C ambient): approx. 45 min (due to gentle air-jacket heating) Recovery time after door opening (to 37 °C @ 22 °C ambient): approx. 15 min Metrology & Control Technology Temperature sensor: Pt100 in 4-wire configuration for precise PID control Controller architecture: BINDER controller with LCD display Setting and display resolution: 0.1 K Temperature stability (at 37 °C): ± 0.1 K Temperature uniformity (at 37 °C across the entire volume): ± 0.4 K Timer: Integrated electromechanical/digital Ventilation: Adjustable exhaust air flap Fluid dynamics & kinematics Flow principle: Natural convection (fanless) Evaporation protection: Maximum prevention of dehydration of cell culture media Cross-contamination prevention: No forced spore turbulence Chamber infrastructure & dimensions Total internal chamber volume: 57 litres Interior material: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel (1.4301 / ASTM 304), deep-drawn External system dimensions (W x H x D): 560 x 625 x 565 mm (excluding door handle and exhaust vent) Internal system dimensions (W x H x D): 400 x 400 x 340 mm Empty weight: approx. 39 kg Wire shelves (included / maximum): 2 / 4 Load capacity per shelf: 15 kg (maximum total load 40 kg) Inner glass door: Full-surface safety glass Safety & environmental conditions Thermal safety device: Integrated Class 3.1 temperature selector switch (DIN 12880) with visual alarm Permissible ambient temperature range: 18 – 32 °C Permissible relative humidity: max. 70% (non-condensing) Protection class (according to DIN EN 60529): IP 20 Electrical & Connectivity Voltage / Frequency: 230 V / 50/60 Hz Power consumption: 300 W (rated power) Data interfaces: USB for data logging Contents of delivery 1 x BINDER BD 56 standard incubator (230 V) 2 x chrome-plated shelf grids 1 x power cable for IT equipment (Important note: Calibration certificates, stacking kits for tower configuration or the BINDER APT-COM™ communication software are not included in the scope of delivery!) Individual requirements & accessories The BINDER BD 56 is designed to ensure absolutely stable airflow in routine microbiological work. The 57-litre capacity accommodates a defined number of Petri dishes at full load. To halve the space required in the laboratory, the BD 56 is designed to be stackable. It is essential that you purchase the original BINDER stacking adapter to ensure a completely vibration- and tilt-proof tower configuration of two units.

BINDER B 28, standard incubator with mechanical control, B028-230V
The BINDER B 28 B028-230V is a specialised standard incubator designed specifically to provide stable incubation conditions in microbiological laboratories, educational institutions and routine quality assurance applications. The basic physical principle of this system is based on natural convection, which enables gentle and controlled heating of the sample chamber without the need for active fan components. For purchasers in academic settings and diagnostic laboratories, this offers a decisive advantage: by avoiding forced air circulation, the evaporation of samples – particularly in the case of sensitive agar plates or liquid media in open vessels – is significantly reduced. The BINDER B 28 B028-230V thus establishes a thermal equilibrium that optimally supports the biological kinetics of microorganisms, whilst at the same time minimising the mechanical complexity of the unit to ensure maximum service life. Thermodynamics of natural convection and heat transfer The thermodynamic efficiency of the BINDER B 28 B028-230V is achieved through the tried-and-tested APT.line™ preheating chamber concept, which ensures above-average temperature accuracy even in this mechanically controlled series. In a system with natural convection, heat transfer occurs primarily due to differences in the density of the air masses. Heating takes place over a large area via the chamber walls, creating a stable thermal jacket (air jacket). This physical arrangement prevents cold spots inside the chamber, which could otherwise have an uneven effect on the growth of cultures. As no turbulent flows are induced, the humidity within the chamber remains more stable, which enhances the metrological validity of long-term incubations. In pharmaceutical research, this model is therefore often used for simple sterility tests or the incubation of standard microorganisms, where excessive air movement would be counterproductive to the morphology of colony formation. Materials science aspects and structural integrity The inner chamber of the BINDER B 28 B028-230V is made of high-quality stainless steel (grade 1.4301 / AISI 304), which guarantees excellent corrosion resistance and chemical inertness. From a materials science perspective, this is essential, as incubation processes are often associated with elevated humidity, which could accelerate the oxidation of metallic surfaces. The smooth surfaces allow for easy decontamination in accordance with standardised hygiene protocols. A distinctive feature is the integrated inner door made of toughened safety glass. This acts as a thermal barrier: it allows visual inspection of the samples without disrupting the thermodynamic system environment by fully opening the main door. This minimises heat loss and significantly reduces the system’s recovery time following access, thereby enhancing process reliability in the hectic day-to-day laboratory environment of universities and schools. Cybernetics of mechanical control and occupational safety The BINDER B 28 B028-230V is controlled by a robust hydraulic-mechanical thermostat. In an increasingly digitalised laboratory environment, this form of cybernetic control offers unrivalled reliability and ease of use, which is particularly valued in teaching settings. The system is designed for a temperature range of 30 °C to 70 °C, covering the entire spectrum of classical bacteriology. To ensure the safety of the unit, the incubator features an integrated temperature limiter. This acts as a redundant safety system which, in the event of a malfunction in the primary controller, physically cuts off the heating power, thereby protecting both the valuable samples and the laboratory infrastructure from thermal damage. For purchasers, this combination of technical simplicity and high reliability guarantees low maintenance costs and a long service life (Total Cost of Ownership). Cost-effectiveness and use in education and research All things considered, the BINDER B 28 B028-230V is the ideal investment for laboratories seeking a cost-effective solution for standard tasks without compromising on BINDER’s brand quality. Its compact design, with an internal volume of 28 litres, allows it to be placed in a minimal amount of space, which is particularly important in crowded practical classrooms.

BINDER KB 260 refrigerated incubator with compressor technology, 230 V, net weight 174 kg, 9020-0473
The BINDER KB 260 refrigerated incubator represents a thermodynamically optimised and highly sophisticated mechatronic system solution for the precise incubation, safe storage and conditioned conditioning of thermally sensitive sample media. With a generous internal volume of 247 litres, this compressor-based system covers an extremely wide operating temperature range from –10 °C to +100 °C. Wherever complex and time-staggered temperature profiles are required in microbiology, pharmaceutical quality control, food analysis or biotechnology, this cooling incubator guarantees gentle on samples, energy-efficient and process-reliable operation under fully controlled environmental conditions. Perfect temperature uniformity thanks to APT.line™ preheating chamber technology The fluid-mechanical design of the KB 260 is based on BINDER’s patented APT.line™ preheating chamber technology. This sophisticated ventilation system directs the air flow into the interior via the jacket walls on both sides. This transient airflow ensures an absolutely homogeneous temperature distribution across all axes of the chamber – regardless of how densely the rack shelves are loaded with samples. Coupled with a high-performance refrigeration unit featuring highly efficient compressor technology, the system reacts at lightning speed to temperature fluctuations and achieves extremely short recovery times after the door is opened, which reliably minimises condensation build-up. Robust materials science and excellent ergonomics The mechanical system architecture reflects uncompromising industrial quality: with a substantial net weight of 174 kg, the incubator stands absolutely vibration-free and stable on the laboratory floor, thereby protecting sensitive cell cultures or crystallisation processes from transient vibrations. The interior is made of high-purity, corrosion-resistant stainless steel and features rounded corners, facilitating gentle and residue-free disinfection. An integrated inner glass door allows laboratory staff to continuously monitor all samples visually without disrupting the internal thermodynamic equilibrium through the inflow of warm or humid ambient air. Intelligent media management and full GLP compliance The KB 260 is controlled electronically via an intuitive LCD controller with an integrated timer (real-time clock). Complex temperature-time ramps can be programmed and visualised directly on the unit. To meet the most stringent audit requirements in accordance with GLP/GMP guidelines, the system features an internal data logger, the measurements from which can be easily exported via an integrated USB interface. An independent Class 3.1 temperature safety monitor (DIN 12880) provides continuous protection for your valuable samples against thermal overload by automatically triggering a visual and audible alarm in the event of a malfunction.
