Memmert IF55 – Precision incubator for scientific and industrial applications
The Memmert IF55 incubator is a professional piece of equipment designed for environments where precision and stable thermal conditions are essential. Designed for the scientific research, medical, pharmaceutical, food chemistry and food analysis sectors, it guarantees reliable temperature maintenance, which is essential for the success of experimental protocols and analyses. Its design is based on high-performance control technology and an optimised ventilation system, enabling the desired incubation conditions to be reproduced accurately while ensuring remarkable thermal uniformity inside the chamber.
The adjustable temperature range from +20 °C to +80 °C, combined with a setting accuracy of 0.1 °C, allows the user to work with extremely precise parameters. The digital PID control system, accessible via the ControlCOCKPIT interface with high-definition TFT colour display, makes programming intuitive and user-friendly. Users can easily set and monitor temperature parameters, fan speed, air flap position and cycle times. Thanks to the SetpointWAIT function, the process time only starts once the target temperature has been reached, thus ensuring reproducible results.
The electropolished stainless steel interior is reinforced with pressed ribs and features a four-sided heating system for uniform heat distribution. The 53-litre capacity, combined with the option of installing up to four shelves, optimises the working space while supporting a maximum load of 80 kg in the chamber. Each shelf can support up to 20 kg, offering great flexibility for different types of samples or containers.
The silent air turbine ventilation system ensures even air circulation, while the electronically controlled preheated fresh air intake maintains stable conditions without sudden variations. An air outlet with an adjustable flap facilitates the removal of gases or moisture, which is particularly useful for certain microbiological or chemical applications.
Operational safety is ensured by dual overheating protection: an adjustable electronic limiter and an independent mechanical limiter, in accordance with DIN 12880. In the event of a fault, the integrated self-diagnostic system facilitates rapid problem identification and resolution.
Compact and robust, the IF55 fits easily on a laboratory worktop. Its insulated outer door with a two-point compression closure ensures thermal sealing, while the inner glass door allows visual inspection of samples without significant heat loss. Operating data can be recorded and analysed using the AtmoCONTROL software, accessible via an Ethernet interface or optional USB stick, facilitating experiment management and traceability.
Versatile, precise and durable, the Memmert IF55 incubator is an indispensable tool for all laboratories requiring stable temperature control and high reliability in their experimental procedures.
