Laboratory Incubators

Incubators for Any Application

Incubators are essential tools in labs across the world, providing controlled environments 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 cellular growth and behavior. Our incubators are suited for a wide number of uses in laboratory settings.

• Pharmaceutical Incubators: Pharmaceutical companies use incubators to evaluate the stability and shelf life of drug products. By introducing samples to controlled temperature and humidity conditions in incubators, companies can assess how products may degrade over time.

• Microbiology Incubators: Microbiology incubators are indispensable for cultivating and studying microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The incubators provide the necessary warmth and aseptic conditions to support microbial growth and experimentation.

• Tissue Culture Incubators: Incubators are widely used in cell culture work, where cells and tissues are grown and maintained in controlled conditions. The incubators create a stable environment with controlled temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, ensuring optimal tissue growth and viability.

• Accelerated Aging Incubators: Accelerated aging incubators are used in various industries to simulate the effects of time and environmental conditions on materials and products in a shorter time frame.

• Germ Count Determination Incubators: Germ count determination incubators are specifically designed for assessing microbial contamination and determining the number of viable microorganisms present in a sample. These incubators create controlled conditions to support the growth of microorganisms, allowing researchers to perform colony counting and microbial enumeration.

• Storage Incubators: Sample storage incubators are designed to maintain a stable and controlled environment for the long-term storage of various samples such as biological specimens, tissues, cells, chemicals and reagents. Storage incubators ensure sample integrity, viability and stability over extended periods of time.

 

Laboratory Incubators from Memmert

Our laboratory incubators are ideal for all applications with temperatures up to +80°C and for incubating living cultures at +37°C. We know even minimal temperature deviations can cause an experiment or cultivation in an incubator to fail, so we've designed highly precise, energy-efficient and extremely safe incubators with your success at the forefront. Thanks to our precise control technology, critical temperature overshoots are impossible and valuable loads are warmed carefully and consistently. Get complete control with critically narrow control ranges you can easily keep true to your desired setpoint values.

 We've adapted elements of Peltier technology to create a high-performance incubator heating and cooling system for without compressors or refrigerants. Our high-performance IPPeco incubators feature Peltier technology to allow for environmentally friendly temperature control. The Memmert ICP incubator cools with conventional compressor technology and has the fastest heat-up and cool-down times in its class.

Optimized Airflow for Sensitive Samples

The adjustable fan in Memmert’s incubators delivers ideal airflow for any application. The all-around heating system works seamlessly with both natural convection and forced circulation. For delicate samples, the fan can be switched off completely to eliminate air turbulence. Memmert laboratory incubators provide full control over airflow and circulation for the gentle, stable environment necessary for successful incubation.

Unique Advantages of Memmert's Laboratory Incubators

• Intuitive interface allows easy adjustment of all parameters for simple or complex methods
• Air exchange and flap position are electronically controlled for stable conditions
• Advanced models program precise temperature profiles through AtmoCONTROL software
• Pre-heated airflow prevents temperature fluctuations during circulation
• Durable stainless steel construction is corrosion-resistant and easily cleaned
• Custom heating concepts maintain precise, homogeneous temperatures
• Flexible programming and documentation options fit any protocol
• 3-year worldwide warranty delivers reliability and peace of mind

Digital Incubators with Programmable Cycles

Using AtmoCONTROL, cycles can be programmed within a matter of minutes on our digital incubators. The heating system of the incubators 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. Peltier 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.
