Incubator KB series
Refrigerated incubators with individual programming options, real-time function, and a broad temperature range.
KB 400 (E3.1) (14.1 cu.ft.)
The KB is the all-rounder for microorganisms. With its wide range of individual programming functions, including a real-time clock function and an enormous temperature span, it can be used for a broad range of sophisticated applications in laboratories – with minimal dehumidification of specimens and impressive extra performance. The APT.line™ with its electronically controlled preheating chamber ensures rapid recovery times and maximum precision, unaffected by the ambient temperature.

Based on the ice increase on the evaporators the refrigerating capacity decreases at a set value of < 0 °C (32 °F).
For this reason the chambers have to be defrosted regularly (approx. once a week).
1) at an ambient temperature ≤20 °C
2) up to 98 % of the set value
3) these values can be used upon calculation of air conditioning systems
All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. The temperature data are determinated in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880 respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10 % of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at all times.
