Model Guide
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.

What is a Standard Incubator
Standard incubators are used in lab environments for testing samples, growing plants, incubating eggs, bacterial culture, chemical testing and other applications requiring precise temperature control above ambient temperature. Memmert standard incubators are available in either forced circulation or natural convection, depending on your specific needs.
Forced Air vs Natural Convection Incubators
Both models are constructed from high-quality stainless steel for durable, scratch-resistant performance and long service life.
Forced Circulation (Forced Air) Incubators – IF Series
Forced air incubators use integrated fans to distribute heated air evenly throughout the chamber. This provides consistent temperature exposure across all samples and eliminates hot or cold spots.
Forced circulation incubators are ideal for:
- Pharmaceutical and chemical testing
- High sample loads
- Breeding and biological research
- Applications requiring strict temperature uniformity
The Memmert IF Series offers chamber sizes from 32 to 749 liters with temperature ranges from 10-80+°C.
Natural Convection Incubators – IN Series
Natural convection incubators rely on the natural rise of warm air without mechanical airflow. This provides gentle and stable heating while minimizing air movement and vibration inside the chamber. They are particularly suitable for sensitive samples requiring minimal air movement and quiet operation.
Natural convection models are well-suited for:
- Cell culture
- Sensitive biological samples
- Long-term incubation
- Quiet laboratory environments
The Memmert IN Series offers capacities from 32 to 749 liters with temperature ranges from 5°C to 80°C.
Memmert I-Series Standard Incubator Features
Memmert standard incubators are engineered for durability, performance and ease of use. Key features include:
- Temperature range up to +80°C
- 8 model sizes (32 to 749 liters)
- double doors (interior glass, exterior stainless steel) to view samples easily without compromising the temperature
- TwinDISPLAY sterilization routine (PLUS models)
- Stainless steel interior & exterior
- 3-year warranty
- Maintenance plan add ons to keep equipment operating efficiently over time.
Precision Temperature Control & Overshoot Prevention
The prevention of critical temperature overshoots is crucial in maintaining the integrity of valuable loads within a microbiological incubator. Precise temperature control is essential for the growth and development of delicate biological cultures and chemical samples. Memmert incubators use finely tuned control technology to prevent critical temperature overshoots and promote gradual, uniform warming. This precise temperature regulation protects valuable loads and delivers reliable, repeatable experimental results across microbiology and laboratory research applications.
Standard Incubator Sizes & Capacities
Memmert offers both compact and large standard incubators to fit any laboratory environment. Small incubators below 100 liters are ideal for benchtop use and limited lab space. Large standard incubators with capacities exceeding 700 liters support high-volume testing, production workflows and long-term sample storage.
Applications
Memmert standard incubators are used across a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, including:
- Cell Culture: Controlled environments for growing cells with stable temperature and humidity
- Chemistry applications: Enzyme-driven reactions and organic compound development
- Food & Beverage: Spoilage and microbial growth testing
- Pharmadeutical testing: Uniform heat exposure for stability studies
- Bacterial culture: Store sensitive samples
- Breeding: Poultry, insects, reptiles, amphibians and plant cultivation
Incubator Accessories & Lab Integration
Memmert standard incubators offer a variety of accessory options to support different laboratory setups and workflows. Available configurations include:
- Stacking solutions
- Wall mounting
- Adjustable shelving and height configurations
- Custom lab integration
