Select BINDER equipment for climate testing, drying, incubation and storage. Send your process conditions, sample load and required configuration.
Choose a BINDER product family
Define the process before choosing a series or configuration. Air circulation, humidity, lighting and data recording requirements should be considered together with the sample load.
KBF and KBF PRO constant climate chambers
KBF chambers maintain stable conditions for long-duration tests. KBF PRO provides an extended temperature and humidity range. Specify the exact version and generation when comparing chambers or ordering replacement components.
KBF 130: 0…+70 °C, 10–80 % RH. KBF PRO 130: −20…+100 °C, 10–98 % RH. Check the model operating diagram for usable temperature and humidity combinations.
MK and MKF dynamic climate chambers
MK chambers perform changing-temperature tests; MKF adds humidity control. Keep the complete model designation, including a CO₂ suffix where present. That suffix identifies a refrigeration version and must not be confused with a cell-culture incubator.
Example: MK 56 has a −40…+180 °C temperature range. Specify the cycle, transition requirements and load.
ED, FD, FED and FP drying ovens
ED uses natural convection and FD uses forced convection. FED offers enhanced timer functions, while FP supports programmed processes. Choose the airflow and control functions to suit the load rather than selecting an oven by chamber size alone.
ED 56: ambient temperature +5 °C to +300 °C; FD 56: ambient temperature +10 °C to +300 °C.
VD and VDL vacuum drying chambers
VD is intended for non-flammable solvents; VDL addresses flammable-solvent applications within the selected model documentation. State the material, solvent and process conditions before selecting a chamber, pump or complete vacuum package.
VD 23: up to +220 °C; VDL 23: up to +110 °C. Confirm the solvent application before agreeing the model.
BD and BF standard incubators
BD provides natural convection; BF uses forced air circulation. Describe the incubation process, sample arrangement and loading pattern. Include the complete chamber model and controller generation in requests for service components or replacement accessories.
BD 56: ambient temperature +5 °C to +100 °C; BF 56: ambient temperature +7 °C to +100 °C.
BINDER CO₂ incubators
CO₂ incubators form a separate product family for culture applications. Specify the required culture conditions and installed options. For service parts, identify the chamber, gas-control component and door assembly individually.
CB 56: +180 °C hot-air sterilisation, a heat-sterilisable CO₂ sensor and data recording with USB.
Cooling incubators
Select a cooling incubator around the incubation conditions, sample load and required temperature programme. For an existing KB, KT or other version, provide its full identification and installed component markings before requesting parts.
Ultra-low freezers and chambers with light
Ultra-low storage and controlled-light studies require different equipment classes. Separate a UF V freezer request from plant-growth or photostability applications. Specify the storage conditions or the required light and climate programme.
UF V 350, UF V 500 and UF V 700: −90…−40 °C temperature range in the current manufacturer catalog.
Information for equipment selection
Specify the process, combined temperature and humidity conditions, dwell periods, sample dimensions and load. Include your test method, recording requirements and installation layout. When replacing a chamber, provide its documentation and explain what should change in the new configuration.
Replacement parts and accessories
For an installed chamber, provide its nameplate, component marking, quantity and relevant manual page. Separate fault repair, scheduled maintenance and additional accessories. Link every item to a serial number when requesting components for several chambers.
Define the complete operating conditions
List the combinations of temperature and humidity that the process actually uses, rather than only the extreme values. For every stage, specify the dwell period, transition and completion condition. This creates a practical basis for comparing equipment against the same task.
Describe sample dimensions together with the space needed around the load. Where batches vary, include both normal and maximum loading arrangements. Identify any heat generated by powered samples during the test. For constant conditions, explain the exposure duration and door-opening pattern.
For changing conditions, attach the cycle profile. A required transition rate should be accompanied by the load and the applicable method. If a standard defines the process, provide the relevant section. The standard name alone does not describe the complete test programme.
List the values to be recorded and the required output format.
Installation space and utilities
Provide the available installation area and the dimensions of passages and doorways along the handling route. Identify clearance for door opening and access to serviceable components. A simple layout is helpful when the chamber will sit beside other laboratory equipment.
Specify the electrical supply available at the destination. Where the process uses water, gas or vacuum, attach the proposed connection arrangement. Include room conditions and the planned handling of heat released by the equipment.
List any required feed-throughs for sensors, cables or external lines, with their purpose and dimensions. Data-acquisition connections should be considered with the controller configuration. For a new laboratory, distinguish the equipment package from accessories and site preparation.
Mark utilities that already exist and those still being designed. This makes the scope of the requested supply easier to define and compare.
Samples, shelving and accessories
Consider the chamber volume together with the shape of the samples. State the dimensions, mass and number of items on each level. Include a drawing or a dimensioned photograph when containers or special fixtures will be used.
For shelving, describe the required material, surface and loading arrangement. List accessories for different test programmes separately. A storage configuration may differ from one used with active samples and external connections.
In light-exposure applications, explain the sample arrangement relative to the light modules. For freezer storage, describe container formats and the access pattern. The usable space should be assessed with all required accessories installed.
When expanding an existing chamber, show its interior configuration and distinguish installed items from additions. Photographs of the mounting arrangement help define the requested package without assuming that the entire accessory set must be replaced.
Recording, documentation and acceptance
List the values the laboratory must retain for each batch. Specify the recording interval, process duration and preferred transfer of results. If records feed into another system, describe the interface and exchange format.
Treat alarms separately from data recording: identify the events to be logged and the people who need access to the results. For several chambers, explain how operators will manage records and files across the installation.
Before agreeing the configuration, list the documentation required with the equipment. Distinguish operating instructions, protocols and unit-specific records. An installed option may require its own documentation in addition to the general series description.
Define acceptance requirements as observable items, including the package contents, operating modes and functions to be checked. Attach an established laboratory procedure where one exists so the proposal can be assessed against your actual working requirements.
Identify installed equipment and service parts
Take a readable photograph of the equipment nameplate, including model, serial number and electrical specifications. Add overall views of the chamber, control panel and requested component. Photograph a separate component label where available.
Copy the identification exactly, including suffixes and punctuation. For a part shown in a drawing, include the callout number and the drawing page. Link each photograph to a specific list item when several chambers are involved. Identify whether door hardware belongs to the outer or inner door.
Show mounting details for shelves and markings and connections for sensors or electrical components. A vacuum pump should be identified from its own nameplate. If the part is not yet known, describe the observed symptom and operating conditions.
Include controller messages and existing service notes, and state whether the request concerns one part, an assembly or a maintenance set.
Compare configurations and organise the request
Use one requirement list when comparing proposals. Include the application, operating conditions, sample load, accessories, interfaces and documentation. Separate essential requirements from preferences that can be discussed.
When replacing a chamber, retain details of the existing installation and explain which limitations the replacement should address. If repair is also being considered, add the required component list.
This allows the new-equipment proposal and the spare-parts request to refer to the same underlying task. For several departments, separate requests by installation location and purpose.
Similar chambers can need different shelving, programmes and connections; those configurations should remain distinct line items. In the final enquiry, state quantities, the delivery destination and a contact for technical clarification.
Attach the specification, item list or current equipment documentation so that the package and the next steps can be agreed from concrete information.
Item confirmation
Availability, price, delivery schedule, compatibility, certificates and package contents are confirmed for the specific enquiry. No authorised-dealer status is claimed.
Request a BINDER proposal
Send a technical specification or details of your installed equipment. Include a contact for configuration questions, delivery destination, accessories and required documents. The proposal can then identify each component and its role in the requested package.
