Benchtop Environmental Chambers
Benchtop environmental chambers are designed to save laboratory workspace without sacrificing the quality of the machine or testing capabilities. They are compact testing chambers with significant usage in the electronic, military, and pharmaceutical industries.
Types of benchtop chambers
Benchtop chambers are a great choice for those looking to either save on cost or space compared to a full-sized industrial climate chamber. Benchtop climate chambers from Memmert are extremely precise with a temperature accuracy of 0.1ºC and relative humidity accuracy of 0.5%. These small climate chambers are capable of maintaining high temperatures. The HPPECO series is capable of reaching up to 70ºC and the HCP series can reach a maximum temperature of 90ºC
Model Guide

HCP
Humidity Test Chamber
Active humidity control creates a controlled environment for accelerated life tests and 85/85 tests.

HPPeco
Constant Climate Chamber
Memmert's constant climate chamber is refrigerant-free, low maintenance, energy efficient. Stability testing according to ICH guidelines, perfect for pharma, cosmetics, food and materials stability studies.
Benchtop Environmental Chambers
Benchtop environmental chambers are compact, controlled testing units designed to simulate environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and light exposure. Environmental chambers are widely used in research, product testing, and quality control across pharmaceuticals, electronics and material science applications. Their small footprint makes benchtop chambers ideal for lab environments where space is limited but precision is critical.
Benefits of a small climatic chamber
- Compact Size: Designed to fit on a workbench, making them ideal for labs with limited space.
- Precise Control: Allows fine-tuned adjustments of temperature and humidity for accurate testing.
- Energy Efficient: Consumes less power compared to larger walk-in or reach-in chambers.
- Quick Ramp Rates: Faster temperature/humidity stabilization due to smaller internal volume.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for short-term and small-scale stability, stress, and aging tests.
Environmental Test Chamber Applications
- Pharmaceutical & Biotech: Stability and shelf-life testing for drugs, vaccines, and biologics.
- Electronics: Thermal cycling and reliability testing of components such as semiconductors.
- Material Science: Aging and degradation studies on polymers, coatings, and composites.
- Food & Beverage: Shelf-life testing and packaging durability studies.
- Medical Devices: Environmental conditioning for implants and diagnostic tools.
- Chemical Testing: Stability testing of chemicals, materials, and coatings; corrosion testing.
Conditions Controlled by Benchtop Environmental Chambers
Temperature
Benchtop environmental chambers simulate temperatures ranging from 0°C to 90°C, providing precise control for testing product performance under varying thermal conditions.
Humidity
With humidity levels adjustable between 10% and 95% relative humidity (dependent on the chamber model), our chambers evaluate the effects of moisture on products. This testing helps assess stability, longevity and quality in environments where humidity is critical.
