Memmert ICH110 – Climate chamber for stability testing
The Memmert ICH110 is a climate chamber specially designed to meet the strict requirements of stability testing in accordance with international standards such as ICH, WHO, EMA, ASEAN, GMP, GLP and GCCP. This equipment combines precision, reliability and durability, enabling laboratories and industries to carry out reproducible tests over the long term in a perfectly controlled environment.
Its temperature control system offers a range from -10 °C to +60 °C, with or without humidity, ensuring great flexibility of use. In the presence of humidity and/or light, the operating range extends from +10 °C to +60 °C, covering the majority of test conditions required by stability protocols. The 0.1°C control accuracy and high-quality Pt100 temperature sensors ensure constant and consistent monitoring of parameters, which is essential for regulated protocols.
Humidity is actively controlled between 10% and 80% RH using a hot steam generator and a self-priming pump supplied with distilled water. Fine control, with a digital display of the real-time value, allows the desired value to be reached and maintained with an accuracy of ±0.5%. This humidity management, combined with the air jacket heating system and adjustable forced circulation, ensures stable and uniform conditions throughout the entire usable volume.
The TwinDISPLAY control interface offers intuitive and comprehensive control of all parameters. Thanks to its two high-definition colour screens and digital PID technology, the user can adjust the temperature, humidity and ventilation speed, as well as programme complex cycles taking into account time zones and seasonal changes. The AtmoCONTROL software allows programming and transfer of sequences via USB port or Ethernet connection, while ensuring that settings are saved in the event of a power failure.
Safety is at the heart of the ICH110's design. Several independent protection systems monitor temperature and humidity, with visual and audible alarms in case of exceedances. Mechanical and electronic limitation functions, combined with the AutoSAFETY system, protect the sample and the unit from unwanted variations. The integrated self-diagnostic system facilitates maintenance and early detection of faults.
Constructed from electropolished stainless steel on the inside and textured steel on the outside, the ICH110 guarantees robustness and ease of cleaning. Its useful volume of 108 litres can accommodate up to 5 shelf levels, with a maximum load capacity of 150 kg. The double door, with a stainless steel outer leaf and an inner glass panel, allows samples to be monitored without disturbing the internal conditions.
Compact and mounted on lockable castors, the ICH110 fits easily into any laboratory. Its R290 gas refrigeration system complies with environmental standards while offering high energy efficiency. Automatic defrosting ensures maximum availability, even during prolonged use.
Thanks to these features, the Memmert ICH110 is an indispensable tool for all applications requiring precise temperature and humidity control, particularly in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and scientific research sectors.
