Memmert IF450plus incubator – Thermal precision and performance for your laboratory applications
The Memmert IF450plus incubator is a high-precision device designed to ensure stable and reproducible thermal conditions, which are essential in scientific research, medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, and food analysis and chemistry. Thanks to its careful design and optimised features, it guarantees perfect temperature and air circulation control, meeting the requirements of even the most stringent experimental protocols.
With a generous internal volume of 449 litres and an adjustable temperature range from +20 °C to +80 °C, the IF450plus offers great flexibility of use. The 0.1°C setting accuracy, combined with two Pt100 DIN Class A sensors, ensures reliable measurement and constant monitoring of parameters. This device is capable of maintaining remarkable thermal uniformity, even under heavy loads, thanks to its design incorporating four-sided heating and an optimised ventilation system.
The ControlCOCKPIT control technology with TwinDISPLAY provides a clear and intuitive interface for quick access to all settings. The multifunction PID controller precisely controls temperature and air flow, while specific functions such as HeatBALANCE allow the heating power distribution between the upper and lower circuits to be adjusted. The SetpointWAIT function ensures that the process time only starts once the target temperature has been reached, thus guaranteeing reliable results.
For applications requiring precise monitoring of operating conditions, the IF450plus integrates a programming and management system via the AtmoCONTROL software on a USB stick. This software allows programmes to be created, stored and transferred via an Ethernet or USB interface. In the event of a power failure, the operating parameters and documentation are saved, preventing any loss of critical information.
In terms of safety, the incubator is equipped with several levels of protection. A mechanical temperature limiter (TB) automatically cuts off the heating if the programmed temperature is significantly exceeded. An electronic monitoring system (TWW or TWB) can be configured directly from the screen. The AutoSAFETY function adds extra protection by automatically monitoring the setpoint within a defined tolerance range, with visual and audible alerts in the event of a deviation.
Ergonomics and robustness are also among the strengths of the IF450plus. Its stainless steel interior, which is electropolished and easy to clean, is reinforced by a ribbed design that integrates the heating while protecting sensitive components. The door, with double internal glazing and reinforced insulation, ensures excellent heat retention while allowing the contents to be viewed without disturbing the internal conditions. The unit is mounted on lockable castors for easy movement.
Versatile and high-performance, the IF450plus incubator is designed for a wide range of applications, from cell culture to the storage of sensitive samples, stability testing and food analysis. Its design meets the most stringent safety and performance standards, while ensuring ease of use on a daily basis.
