CO2 laboratory incubator CB-S 260

hot airinfraredfor cell cultures

Product description
The durable and affordable CB-S series incubators are designed for routine cell cultivation and cell production workflows in laboratories and academic environments. The units provide contamination protection through automatic 180 °C hot-air sterilization and ensure stable pH control via drift-free infrared CO₂ measurement in real time.

Benefits

• Safe – maximum protection against contamination for cell cultures
• Reliable – constant, controlled environment for reproducible results
• Smart – straightforward routine cleaning and easy operation
• Economical – efficient operation without disposable consumables

Important characteristics

• Humidification system with condensation protection
• Proven anti-contamination concept with 180 °C hot-air sterilization (auto-sterilization)
• CO₂ sensor using infrared technology (drift-free IR measurement)
• Seamless stainless-steel inner chamber with safety inner glass door
• CO₂ gas mixing jet with Venturi effect
• PID controller with clear LCD display
• Internal data logger; measured values exportable in open format via USB
• Troubleshooting system with visual and acoustic alarms
• Interfaces: Ethernet, USB, potential-free alarm contact
