Forced Circulation Incubator
In working with a fully loaded chamber, forced air circulation maybe required for uniform temperature and air distribution. Interior rear wall fan motor can be precisely adjusted in 10% increments, or shut off completely to avoid drying out of samples.
IN
Natural Convection Incubator
Memmert incubator provides perfect combination of all-round surface heating and precise temperature control system safe for research, pharmaceuticals, medicine, and food chemistry.
IPPeco
Peltier Cooled Incubator
Memmert's energy-efficient line of Peltier cooled incubators with set point temperature range 0C to +70C ensures sample quality in microbiology, food and beverage industry. This model line is best at bacteria count determination, cultivation studies, stability and aging test and shelf life tests.
LABORATORY INCUBATORS FROM MEMMERT
Our laboratory incubators support temperatures up to +80°C and are ideal for incubating living cultures at +37°C. We understand minor temperature deviations can jeopardize experiments or cultivation, so we've engineered our incubators to be highly precise, energy-efficient and safe. Our advanced control technology eliminates critical temperature fluctuations to provide consistency in any application. We’ve integrated Peltier technology into our laboratory incubators for high-performance heating and cooling systems without compressors or refrigerants.
Optimized Airflow for Sensitive Samples
The adjustable fan in Memmert’s laboratory incubators provides optimal airflow for any application. Our comprehensive heating system smoothly integrates with natural convection and forced circulation. For sensitive samples, the fan can be turned off to prevent air turbulence. Memmert laboratory incubators offer complete control over airflow and circulation, creating a gentle, stable environment essential for effective incubation.

Digital Incubators with Programmable Cycles
With AtmoCONTROL, cycles are programmed on digital laboratory incubators in minutes. The incubators' heating systems can be customized for energy efficiency, rapid heating, quiet operation or minimal vibration. The internal data logger provides a storage capacity of at least 10 years, allowing easy access to all data logs within this period. You can view the data online or save it in various report formats to suit your requirements.
INCUBATORS FOR ANY APPLICATION
Memmert’s incubators are versatile and ideal for a variety of applications in laboratory settings. Incubators are essential in laboratories to create controlled environments for the growth and cultivation of microorganisms or cells. They allow precise regulation of temperature, humidity, and gas composition, which are essential for supporting cellular growth and behavior. Memmert supplies:
- Pharmaceutical Incubators: Pharmaceutical incubators assess the stability and shelf life of drugs. By subjecting samples to controlled temperature and humidity conditions within incubators, companies can evaluate how products might deteriorate over time.
- Microbiology Incubators: Microbiology incubators assist with growing and studying microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi. They offer optimal warmth and sterile conditions required to support microbial growth and experimentation.
- Tissue Culture Incubators: Incubators create a stable environment with controlled temperatures, humidity, and CO2 levels, providing optimal tissue growth and success.
- Accelerated Aging Incubators: Accelerated aging incubators simulate the effects of time and environmental conditions on materials and products.
- Germ Count Determination Incubators: Germ count determination incubators assess microbial contamination and determine the number of possible microorganisms present in a sample. These incubators support the growth of microorganisms, allowing researchers to perform colony counting and microbial enumeration.
- Storage Incubators: Sample storage incubators maintain a stable and controlled environment for long-term storage of various samples such as biological specimens, tissues, cells, chemicals and reagents. These incubators help to secure sample integrity, viability and stability over extended periods.
FAQs About Incubators
What temperature range do I need for an incubator?
Most culture cell applications require a temperature of around 37°C. This temperature matches the normal body temperature of humans and many mammals, which is typically optimal for cell growth and multiplication. Certain cells may require different temperatures, so it is crucial to consider the specific requirements of the cells or tissues being cultured.
How do incubators maintain a constant temperature?
Incubators use heating elements and insulation to maintain a constant temperature within the incubation chamber.
What are the advantages of Peltier cooling?
Peltier cooling systems offer several advantages due to their lack of moving parts. Peltier systems are more reliable and require less maintenance than systems with moving parts. They are energy-efficient and produce minimal noise and vibrations. As a result, Peltier cooling systems are a good option for applications where reliability, energy efficiency and low noise levels are important.
