CO2 Incubators - CB Series by BINDER

"These incubators are so easy to use and decontaminate! The inside footprint is larger than most other manufacturers allowing more flask space than normal. The only thing I would suggest for newer updates to this is to add a port for sampling CO2."

"Overall, we are very pleased with our Binder CO2 incubators. They are made of quality material and long lasting. The customer service along with warranty repairs are very helpful and efficient. Would definitely purchase again."

"I used CB 53 and CB60, they are highly effective, temperature measurement at any side inside the incubator is so specific and uniform, CO2 recovery is very fast and so is temperature build up. The equipment is very rugged if used in a good environment with a very durable power system."

"The instrument is very effective, accuracy and after sale service is good."

"It is out of service because due to not having the CO2 sensor. When I requested a quote, they indicated that the original used in my model was no longer available and that another sensor was suggested, I asked for a quote from Germany at the end November 2020 and they didn't give me the price. I requested service in Mexico and they indicated that the service cost would be around $ 5,000.00 USD. I had to pay this in advance and the service was completed 14 weeks after payment, this is very sad."

"Great quality, easy to use!"

"In my experience over the years in the pharmaceutical industry, it provides reliability, results and safety. Binder cabinets were present when I first started in the pharmaceutical industry and 7 years on they are still going strong. If there has been an issue with a cabinet it’s rectified very quickly. After-sales help and Markus Stahl at tech help has been excellent and that is why I would always recommend people go to Binder."

"It is easy to use and it's convenient."

"The incubator accommodates control over necessary factors in cell and tissue culture."

"Binder provide a lot of options that other manufacturers do not have. However, service support from Binder in Saudi Arabia is not great. Binder products are fairly liked and trusted by users."

"We love our Binder incubators. We currently have 4 of them running 24/7 and they are fabulous. They are very energy efficient, easy to load/unload and run very quietly."

"Good robust incubators. Very solid shelves, easy to use. Good heat decontamination cycle. Excellent door seals compared to on Panasonic equivalents. If the gas is turned off, the CO2 levels only lose 1% after 24 hours, Panasonic ones don't even last 4 hours. The CB 160s are very tall when stacked. The CB170s have much better dimensions."

"Easy to use it. The most important point of using CO2 incubators is the reproducibility. This gives very reproducible growth conditions for cell cultures."

"Very constant and even temperature on any shelf. Easy-to-use controller and menu system. Service very helpful but several weeks delay when part replacement needed. Overall, good quality for money."

"Intuitive user interface. Easy to install. Really good possibility for certification, like IQ, OQ PQ. Excellence accuracy. In case of failure, fast service reaction."

"I'm completely satisfied with this product ans my end results."

"Effective and secure. The door latch functions much better than our previous HeraCell. Easy to clean."

"Service provided by the local trained service engineer is very good and his vast knowledge (15 years of experience) is also an added advantage."

"The incubator is easy to use and gives constant reproducible results. Easy to open and close the door, the menu is clear, buttons are easy to handle. The temperature and CO2 level holds after short opening sessions. The decontamination process is very clever."

"Tim Foley was so helpful when I was trying to find my new incubator. I like the quality of the BINDER products and even the design of them."

"Unit is very easy to use, better priced than thermo fisher, have had no issues"

"High quality with long life, good and high accurate testing results, low maintenance, and easy to use"

"The incubators seem to work very well. Like that there are not many parts inside. Only down fall seems to be the shelves are not level inside the unit."

"Love the ease of cleaning and disinfecting of these incubators. They are also very reliable with temperature controls. There is a short learning curve to the door closure, but that is minor. We have bought several more after our initial experience."

"Very easy to use . Excellent equipment . Would like another unit."

"Maintains constant environment, easy to use, reliable."

"BINDER products are outstanding, have been using their products for a decade."

"Incubator is very reliable and we have not had any problems since 2015. Results are amazlng."

"It is very useful, easy to use, good value for money, elegant design, has good safety features and is long lasting"

"We use this incubator to grow bacterial cultures; anaerobic bacterial growth. Easy to use for any level of experience. Good and standard quality accessories and no issues with temperature stability and CO2 control, meeting all specifications for our requirements."

"Binder incubators are reliable and sturdy - it is why we went with them. The manuals are difficult to read, but eventually you can find what you need. They should also make it easier to connect the alarm wires for people who do not really use their set-up."

"Reliable instrument with small footprint, easy for use and very robust, with small temperature variations inside the chamber which helps us to reach reproducible result."

"The product from BINDER are great as well as the service."

"Simple to use. The sterilization function is great in case there is contamination. Perfect size for a small lab."

"This incubator is so easy to clean! ( self cleaning) But the extra bonus is that the shelves do not have high edges so it is easy to wipe without catching any fibers. It has been a wonderful asset to our teaching efforts."

"Compared to the Thermo brand of Incubators, this is almost better. I think because it is a small company, the support you receive is much better."

"Product is very efficient and easy to clean/sanitize"

"I have had Binder C and CB incubators for over 10 years now. Having used other incubators, switching to Binder was one of the best decisions that I ever made. They are relatively light weight (air jacketed) and are easy to sterilize (180 deg C). So, contamination issues can be easily dealt with. They hold up CO2 pressure and temperature even when we have had disruptions. Because they are made from one complete sheet of steel, there are no joints inside the incubator. Overall, great value for the money."

"Of the incubators we have, these are the ones that have the best stability and are the most reliable for prolonged work. Nice job Binder."

"Binder CO2 incubator is one of the best incubators for its stability and sterility. It is easy to operate for cell culture, cancel cells, IVF applications. This is a drift free incubator with perfect cell viability and cell yield studies."

"We were happy to buy the Binder CB60 incubator at it's comparatively higher price, due to the good reputation of Binder products, and we haven't been disappointed. This incubator is intuitive to use, and works reliably. There has been one malfunction, the controller panel stopped working. However, as soon as we had reported this to Binder, the company took care of finding a local repair service, and covered all associated costs. Regarding application questions, the communication with Binder has been fast and constructive. It is this kind of reliability that is worth the investment to us."

"In our tests it is extremely important to have consistent and repeatable conditions. With this system we believe we really can work with confidence."

"The binder CB160 incubator with oxygen control is a wonder piece of equipment that makes life very easy when you want to culture cells for experiments where oxygen levels needs to be precisely controlled. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the hypoxia field. My colleague has got one of these as well after I recommended it and are very happy with it."

"Usage of binder FD50 was easy at first. It was efficient and fast. After a while fan got bloked and efficiency became low. The most important factor is technical support for Turkey. We can not receive good quality support to maintain instrument. About the cost, it was cheaper and more efficient 6-8 years ago and we shifted from Memmert to Binder, but now I see that Binder's prices are far above what they used to be."

"The ultimate effectiveness of the product is the temperature accuracy and distribution, fast recovery times and reproducible results. It is easy to use, the after-sales services is superb and it is indeed value for money."

"The incubators are very ease to use. I love the stericycle function as well."

"Good product, easy to use but sensitive to the quality of water and electricity. Good after sales."

"This incubator is very easy to use and all the parameters are display on a screen in the front of the device."

"This latest model by Binder has some improvements but not many. First, the cost should be a little lower because the equality of using this incubator matches the CO2 Incubators from NuAire or Thermo which you can get at a lower price. Also, it depends on the model you would purchase as well; my laboratory bought two, and one of them takes more than 5 minutes rather than few seconds to load when you switch it on. However, there are nice features that had been added, one of them is the sterilizer sensor that stays in the incubator while working as well as the contamination avoidance sensor that is very precise and accurate. I'm disappointed because regardless of the newest versions, the concept of using the CO2 incubators have been the same and small minor changes were added."

"It has a complete elimination of bacteria, spores, etc. I can always rely on its sterilization of the atmosphere plus all surfaces. There is a minimal sterilization cost. It has optimal and uniform cell growth throughout. The inner chamber is easy to clean."
