Laboratory Incubators
Our laboratory incubators are precise, energy-efficient and safe. Even minimal temperature deviations can cause an experiment or cultivation in an incubator to fail. Ideal for all applications with temperatures up to +80°C; and for incubating living cultures at +37°C. Thanks to precise control technology, critical temperature overshoots are impossible and valuable loads are carefully warmed up. Temperature is increased within a very narrow control range and kept exactly at setpoint values.
Model Guide
ICO
CO2 Incubator
Active RH control, short recovery times, six sided heating and interior heated glass door provides perfect climate for cell and tissue cultures. Battery back up for data logging and C02 control functional even during a power failure.
ICP
Compressor Cooled Incubator
Environment conscious, compressor cooled utilizing C02 refrigerant R744 incubator, perfect for rapid temperature changes and multiple setpoint ramps. Incubating, breeding, and storing the ICPeco is superior.
IF
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.

Environmentally Friendly Incubators with Memmert
Memmert adapted Peltier technology elements to create a high-performance heating and cooling system without compressors or refrigerants. This was implemented into our high-performance IPPeco incubators to allow for environmentally-friendly temperature control. The Memmert ICP incubator cools with conventional compressor technology and has the fastest heating-up and cool-down times.
Incubators for Microbiology
Incubators are essential tools in microbiology labs, providing a controlled environment for the growth and cultivation of microorganisms & cells. The precise conditions within an incubator, such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition, can be carefully controlled to support the growth and behavior of different microorganisms. Our incubators are suited for a wide number of uses in a laboratory setting, including:
- Bacteria testing: Incubators are used to grow and study bacteria and yeast cultures under specific conditions.
- Cell cultures: Incubators are used to maintain and grow cell cultures for testing drugs, diagnosing infections & more.
- Studying disease-causing microorganisms: Incubators are used to study the growth of pathogenic microorganisms to better understand their behavior and develop treatments and vaccines.
- Antibiotic susceptibility testing: Incubators are used to incubate bacterial cultures with different antibiotics to determine which antibiotics are effective in treating a particular infection.
Digital Incubators with Programmable Cycles
Using AtmoCONTROL, cycles can be programmed within a matter of minutes on our digital incubators. The heating system can be programmed according to energy efficiency, heating up times, quiet running, or low vibration. With the internal data logger there is a storage capacity of at least 10 years. This creates easy access to all data logs within the 10-year range, which can be viewed online or saved in various report formats to meet your needs.
What to Consider When Purchasing an Incubator
- What temperature range do I need for an incubator?
- For most cell culture applications, a temperature range of approximately 37°C (98.6°F) is required. This is the normal body temperature of humans and many other mammals, and it is often the optimal temperature for the growth and proliferation of cells in culture. However, some cell types may require different temperatures, and it is important to carefully consider the specific requirements of the cells or tissues being incubated.
- 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. These systems are generally more reliable and require less maintenance than systems with moving parts. They are also energy efficient and produce minimal noise and vibrations. As a result, Peltier cooling systems can be a good choice for applications where reliability, energy efficiency, and low noise and vibration levels are important.
