Cooling Incubators

BINDER cooling incubators offer the perfect solution when precise and stable temperature control is required—both above and below room temperature. Designed for critical microbiological and industrial applications, these refrigerated incubators provide optimal conditions for incubation, storage, and testing in a wide range of environments.

What Is a Cooling Incubator?

A cooling incubator, also known as a refrigerated incubator, is a versatile device that combines heating and cooling functions to maintain a consistent internal temperature for sensitive samples. Whether for storing microorganisms, running long-term stability tests, or simulating environmental conditions, cooling incubators are essential tools in modern laboratories.

Key Features & Benefits

🌡️ Precise Temperature Range

Operates reliably across a broad temperature range, typically from 0 °C to +70 °C, enabling both cooling below and heating above ambient conditions.

🔄 Double-Sided Horizontal Airflow

Ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber, thanks to BINDER’s advanced airflow system that circulates reconditioned air evenly across all shelf levels.

🔬 Stable and Reproducible Conditions

Ideal for long-term experiments that require absolute stability, such as microbial culture, sterility testing, and pharmaceutical R&D.

🔍 Glass Inner Door for Sample Observation

Allows visual monitoring of samples without disturbing internal climate stability—perfect for experiments requiring minimal interruption.

🧼 Easy-to-Clean Stainless Steel Interior

With rounded corners and seamless design to prevent contamination and support GLP/GMP compliance.

⚙️ GLP/GMP Compliant Performance

Fully compatible with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements, including validation support for IQ, OQ, and PQ procedures.

Typical Applications

🔬 Microbiological and Life Science Research

• Cell culture and bacterial incubation
• Drug discovery and sterility testing
• Colony count in food quality control
• Water and environmental monitoring

🏭 Industrial and Pharmaceutical Applications

• Battery testing under temperature stress (without humidity regulation)
• Freeze-thaw stability testing for creams, gels, and emulsions
• Thermal simulation in product development and packaging

Validation & Compliance

BINDER cooling incubators are designed with validation in mind:

• IQ – Installation Qualification: Verifies component functionality at setup
• OQ – Operational Qualification: Confirms chamber performance without samples
• PQ – Performance Qualification: Validates temperature control with sample load

All models are built to meet the stringent documentation and operational requirements of the FDA 21 CFR Part 11, supporting data traceability, audit readiness, and electronic record keeping.
