Climate chamber KBF 470

humiditytemperaturelight

Product description
The KBF 470 is a constant climate chamber designed for reliable ICH stability testing in pharmaceutical and laboratory environments. It supports long-term, accelerated and stress tests, meets key ICH requirements for precision, programming and documentation, and offers flexible water supply options for varied installation sites. Compared with the previous model, the KBF reduces energy consumption by up to 40%. Optional light modules convert the unit into an ICH photostability chamber or a plant growth chamber.

Benefits

• Maximum climate homogeneity for consistent ICH stability results, even at full load
