Model KBF 260 | Constant climate chambers with a large temperature / humidity range
Benefits
- A reliable option for critical ICH stability testing thanks to maximum climate homogeneity, even when the unit is fully loaded
- Reliable: failsafe operation over the long term thanks to proven compressor technology and interior made of stainless steel
- Smart: signal triangle with light-up status display and ergonomic control terminal with touchscreen program controller
- Economical: up to 40% lower energy consumption than the previous model thanks to modern inverter cooling technology
Product description
The proven specialist for reliable ICH stability tests in the pharmaceutical industry: the KBF masters all long-term tests, accelerated tests and stress tests. It fulfills all important ICH requirements, from precision to programming and documentation. With flexible water supply options for all installation locations. In addition, the new KBF consumes up to 40 % less energy than its predecessor. With optional light modules, the KBF can be converted into an ICH photostability chamber and a plant growth chamber.
