More and more, today’s customers require complex, versatile solutions. Each application demands to be handled in its own individual way, with the logical inference that the range of products will cater to the specific needs of the application. For this reason, BINDER has added cooled incubators with two different technologies to its range. These are traditional units with either Peltier modules — the KT Series, or compressor technology — the KB series.
Cooled incubators belong in every laboratory where cell biology, microbiology or molecular biology methods are used, such as in the biology, medicine, pharmaceutical research and food industries. They create a constant microclimate for the development and growth processes of microorganisms and cell cultures.
Peltier technology creates new possibilities for cooling in special applications. Peltier units are particularly cost- and energy-efficient when operated at or around ambient temperatures. In addition, they operate more quietly and with less vibration and are very environmentally friendly because refrigerants are not required.
In contrast, compressor-drive cooling systems have greater performance reserves for higher temperature dynamics and show their strengths at low operating temperatures with greater efficiency.
Both technologies have their specific advantages and between them cover the complex application fields for cooled incubators.
