Memmert IF30plus – Precision incubator for demanding laboratories
The Memmert IF30plus incubator is a professional device designed to provide constant and controlled thermal conditions in a compact 32-litre format. It meets the needs of multiple fields such as scientific research, medicine, pharmacy, agri-food and food chemistry. Its design combines thermal precision, an ergonomic user interface and robust construction, making it an essential tool for applications requiring reliable incubation.
The IF30plus has a temperature range of +20 to +80 °C, with remarkable stability and accuracy thanks to its two Pt100 sensors. These probes, mounted in a 4-wire configuration, ensure continuous monitoring and take over in the event of failure of one of them. The temperature can be adjusted with a precision of 0.1°C, allowing you to work under perfectly controlled conditions. The SetpointWAIT function ensures that the timer only starts when the target temperature has been reached, guaranteeing reproducible results.
The device is controlled by the TwinDISPLAY system, consisting of two high-definition colour TFT screens. This device provides easy access to all essential parameters such as temperature, fan speed, air flap position and operating time programming. The integrated timer allows settings ranging from 1 minute to 99 days, offering great flexibility for incubation cycles. A fixed sterilisation programme at 160°C for 4 hours is provided for sanitising the working chamber, ensuring a contamination-free environment.
Thermal homogeneity inside the chamber is ensured by a silent air turbine, adjustable in 10% increments for each programme segment. Fresh air is preheated before being introduced into the chamber, optimising the stability of the internal conditions. An electronically controlled ventilation system allows the air renewal to be adapted to the specific requirements of the samples.
Safety is a key feature in the design of the IF30plus. It has a mechanical temperature limiter TB, compliant with DIN 12880, which interrupts heating approximately 20°C above the programmed temperature. The user can also choose between an adjustable TWB limiter or a TWW monitoring system. The integrated AutoSAFETY device continuously monitors deviations from the setpoint and triggers visual and audible alarms in the event of temperature overshoots or drops, while automatically switching off the heating if necessary. A self-diagnostic system allows any malfunctions to be identified quickly.
The internal chamber, made of deep-ribbed stainless steel, is heated on four sides, ensuring uniform heat distribution. It is equipped with an electropolished stainless steel grid, with the option of adding up to three levels for a maximum load of 60 kg. Smooth surfaces and high-quality materials facilitate cleaning and disinfection, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Thanks to its compact size, the IF30plus fits easily on a worktop or in a confined space while offering performance comparable to larger models. Its insulated double-locking door, combined with an inner glass door, limits heat loss and allows the contents to be viewed without disturbing the internal conditions.
Manufactured in Germany, the IF30plus features a carefully designed construction and high-quality components, ensuring long-term reliability. This incubator is a wise choice for any laboratory looking for a compact, reliable and easy-to-use device capable of maintaining optimal incubation conditions day after day.
