Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the advantage of APT.line™ technology?
APT.line™ ensures that air is preheated in a jacket before entering the inner chamber, resulting in extremely high temperature accuracy and rapid recovery times after the door is opened.
2. Can BINDER climate chambers be used for ICH stability testing?
Yes, the KBF series constant climate chambers are specifically engineered for long-term stability tests of pharmaceuticals in accordance with ICH Q1A and ICH Q1B guidelines.
3. Are BINDER drying ovens suitable for sterilization?
Yes, many BINDER drying and heating chambers can reach temperatures up to 300°C, making them suitable for both high-precision drying and the sterilization of laboratory glassware.
4. What safety features are available for drying flammable solvents?
The VDL series of vacuum drying chambers features an explosion-proof interior (ATEX-compliant) and a specialized safety concept to prevent ignition during the drying of samples containing solvents.
