Note on second-hand units (Ex-Demo-Units):
Second-hand units are units that have been used for a short time for tests or exhibitions. They are thor-
oughly tested before resale. BINDER guarantees the technically flawless state of the chamber.
Second-hand units are marked as such with a sticker on the unit door. Please remove the sticker before
commissioning the unit.
