Compressor-cooled Termaks KB-Series incubators (-9.9 to +70 C) with stainless steel chamber, PID control, data logging and safety thermostat. Available as 182 L and 400 L.
The Termaks KB-Series is a range of compressor-cooled incubators for incubating, culturing, storing and drying samples across a temperature range of -9.9 C to +70 C. Because this cooling incubator operates accurately both below and above ambient temperature, the instrument suits laboratory applications that require a low temperature or a stable temperature close to room temperature. Typical uses include microbiological culture, BOD determinations, enzyme reactions, sample storage and controlled drying processes.
The KB-Series uses forced air circulation with a variable fan speed. This delivers a homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the chamber, fast temperature control and quick recovery after the door is opened. An automatic defrost function keeps the evaporator free of ice, so the refrigerated incubator continues to perform reliably even during prolonged low-temperature operation.
Temperature is controlled by a K-sensor combined with PID control, resulting in a stable and reproducible temperature. Operation is via an OLED touchscreen display with PIN protection, safeguarding settings against unauthorised changes. A redundant system with a separate safety thermostat continuously monitors the temperature and protects both the load and the appliance.
The inner chamber is made of stainless steel, making it corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. This cooled incubator is designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly and has a small footprint relative to its internal volume, saving valuable laboratory space.
The KB-Series is prepared for data management and remote monitoring. The Connect function enables data logging and remote monitoring, while an SD card allows local recording. For integration into laboratory infrastructure, the cooling incubator features MODBUS communication and a potential-free alarm contact, allowing deviations to be reported directly to a central monitoring system.
The Termaks KB-Series is available in two models: the KB 9182 with an internal volume of 182 litres and the KB 9400 with an internal volume of 400 litres. Both models share the same temperature range and control technology and differ mainly in capacity and number of shelves. Available options include a triple-glazed viewing window with cover, lockable castors, a glass inner door with seal and access ports for external sensors.
If you do not need cooling, consider the standard Termaks B-Series incubators for applications above ambient temperature. For processes that require humidity or light control, the Termaks climate chambers are the appropriate choice. Request a no-obligation quotation for the KB-Series that fits your laboratory.

The KB-Series controls temperature accurately from -9.9 C to +70 C. Thanks to compressor cooling the unit can also operate below ambient temperature, which a standard incubator without cooling cannot do.
There are two models: the KB 9182 with 182 litres internal volume (3 standard, up to 14 shelves) and the KB 9400 with 400 litres (3 standard, up to 22 shelves). They share the same temperature range and control technology and differ mainly in capacity.
Control is by a K-sensor and PID control for a stable temperature. A redundant system with a separate safety thermostat continuously monitors the temperature. The OLED touch display is protected with a PIN code against accidental changes.
Yes. The Connect function enables data logging and remote monitoring, with local recording on an SD card. For integration into laboratory infrastructure the unit features MODBUS and a potential-free alarm contact.
Choose the KB-Series when you need cooling below ambient temperature. If you only need heating above ambient temperature, choose the Termaks B-Series incubators. If humidity or light also needs to be controlled, the Termaks climate chambers are the right choice.
