The KBF series now has even more advanced technology and incorporates intelligent details for improved performance and simplified handling.

The KBF series climatic chambers for constant conditions offer cutting-edge technology and a number of features for more comfortable working conditions. An innovative high-pressure humidification system now operates with either tap water or demineralized water. Temperature and humidity controls have also been further refined. All KBF series climatic chambers for constant conditions meet the requirements of ICH Q1A guidelines. With its space-saving single-door housing, the unit has the same usable space in a smaller footprint. The optional light module also fulfills the light testing requirements of ICH Q1 B guidelines. The LQC Light Quantum Control component is a useful energy-saving feature, since the light sources are switched off as soon as the required value is reached.

High-pressure humidification, large-area refrigeration, and controlled temperature distribution are all special features of this new generation of KBF series climatic chambers for constant conditions. They represent BINDER's premium class of products, helping to maintain the company's leading position in this area. The KBF from BINDER also has a new humidification system on the outside of the inner chamber. Here superheated steam is injected under high pressure through valves, allowing it to dissipate more evenly, faster, and with fewer germs than is possible with standard systems assisted by an extra air turbine. The notorious fogging effect has thus become a thing of the past. Another advantage is the fact that virtually any quality of water can be used. The KBF will operate perfectly with either demineralized water or tap water up to 8.0 hardness [German hardness]. Water with higher hardness can be easily treated with the BINDER Pure Aqua System.

Humidity is controlled using a large-surface evaporator backplate. In this new generation series, the temperature control equipment is also located along the back wall of the interior chamber around the fans, making it easier to control the required humidity and temperature values with greater speed and precision. This design keeps the side walls completely free, making it easier to modify the unit for access ports or add any other user-specific options.

Now also suitable for light testing pursuant to ICH Q1 B guidelines
KBF series chambers for constant climatic conditions can also be supplied with an optional light module for daylight and UV light, suitable for various mounting alternatives along the top. As a result, in addition to the standard applications, the KBF series units are also recommended for light testing in accordance with ICH Q1 B guidelines. The patented Light Quantum Control (LQC) system also makes it possible to measure and accumulate the amount of light with spherical sensors. As soon as the specific required value is achieved, the light source is automatically switched off, which saves energy.

In addition to its technological improvements, the KBF series housing was also redesigned to satisfy modern requirements. The new upright design chamber is narrower and higher, thus improving its usable space-to-footprint ratio for laboratory equipment. The new single-door design also provides easier access to specimens.

The KBF series climatic chambers for constant conditions covers a temperature range from -10 °C to 100 °C (without humidity), or from 10 °C to 90 °C at 10% to 90% relative humidity. A recently introduced version of the KBF series units offers a usable space of 240 L, suitable for a 200 – 240 V, 50/60 Hz power supply. Other versions will be available soon.
