Incubators

KB 53 (E3.1) - Refrigerated incubator with program

controller
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.

Performance features and equipment:

Electronically controlled APT.line™ preheating chamber and patented DCT™ refrigeration system assuring
temperature accuracy and reproducible results in both heating and cooling situations
Temperature range: -5 °C to 100 °C (23 °F to 212 °F)
MP controller with 2 programs with 10 sections each, alternatively switchable to 1 program with 20 sections
Features:
Integrated week program timer with real time function
Adjustable ramp function via program editor
Digital temperature setting with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree
Adjustable fan speed
Elapsed time indicator
Independent adjustable temperature safety device, Class 3.1 (DIN 12880) with visual and acoustic alarm
Inner glass door
RS 422 interface for communication software APT-COM™ DataControlSystem, or switch over to printer output with RS
232 / RS 422 interface converter
Adjustable intervals for printer
Units up to 115 liters (4.1 cu.ft) are stackable

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) 1) at an ambient temperature ≤20 °C (68 °F)
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.
