Climate chamber KBF PRO 260

humiditytemperaturelight

Product description
The KBF PRO 260 is a constant climate chamber for material testing and environmental simulations with a temperature range from −20 °C to +100 °C and a humidity range from 10% to 98% RH. It supports flexible water-supply options for different installation sites, uses R‑290 refrigerant and achieves up to 40% lower energy consumption compared with the previous model KMF. Optional light modules are available for ICH photostability testing or plant-growth applications.
