Streamlined, reliable, easy to use, easy to maintain incubator.
Application Area:Cell & Tissue Culture
"The Binder CB170 CO2 incubator is a reliable and very well designed piece of equipment. Its streamlined features allows users to make the most of its inner volume while facilitating cleaning and maintenance. In addition, this incubator has a reduced propensity to accumulate condensation on its surfaces, and operates very quietly, with minimal operating noise or vibration. Moreover, its closure mechanism insures that leaving the door open by accident won't be a problem; however, this same mechanism also makes quick access more difficult, which might represent a small inconvenience to users in a hurry. Installation is very simple, and technical support is timely provided by experts."

Great value, stable and best incubators
Application Area:Cell culture including stem cells
"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."

Great Result, Small improvements in the latest version, High price
Application Area:grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures
"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."
