Memmert IN160 incubator – Thermal precision and reliability for your laboratory applications
The Memmert IN160 incubator is a benchmark device for laboratories looking for a reliable, accurate and ergonomic instrument for incubating and storing samples. Its design is based on decades of expertise in thermal technology, making it the preferred choice for applications requiring stable temperature control. It is particularly suitable for scientific research, medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, food and chemical analysis, where control of thermal parameters is essential.
With an adjustable temperature range of +20 to +80 °C and a display accuracy of 0.1 °C, the Memmert IN160 guarantees precise and reproducible control of experimental conditions. The Pt100 temperature sensor, which complies with DIN class A and is integrated in a 4-wire circuit, ensures reliable and stable measurements. Thanks to its natural convection system, the air is distributed evenly throughout the chamber, reducing thermal gradients and ensuring optimum homogeneity, which is essential for consistent results.
The 161-litre interior chamber is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. The deep-ribbed walls incorporate a protected heating system distributed over four sides, ensuring a uniform temperature rise. The high-performance insulation of the stainless steel door, combined with a glass inner door, provides excellent heat retention while offering direct visibility of the samples without disturbing the internal environment.
The ControlCOCKPIT SingleDISPLAY control system is based on a multifunctional digital PID microprocessor with a high-definition TFT colour display. It allows essential parameters such as temperature, programme duration and ventilation flap position to be clearly set and displayed. The SetpointWAIT function delays the start of the process time until the desired temperature is reached, ensuring protocol accuracy. An adjustable digital timer from 1 minute to 99 days offers great flexibility in cycle management.
Safety is not neglected either: the appliance is equipped with an electronic and mechanical temperature monitoring system that can switch off the heating if the temperature exceeds the setpoint by approximately 20°C. An integrated self-diagnostic system facilitates rapid identification of any malfunctions. In addition, the IN160 stores the recorded programmes in its memory even in the event of a power failure, preventing any loss of critical data.
In terms of connectivity, the incubator has an Ethernet interface that allows the AtmoCONTROL software to be used to read, organise and manage the internal log data. A USB port is available for exporting and programming cycles, with the option of purchasing a USB stick supplied with the complete software package.
Its compact size and robust design allow for easy integration into a laboratory, while offering a load capacity of 210 kg in the chamber and 20 kg per shelf. The option of adding up to eight internal shelves makes the IN160 modular to suit your needs. Installation is simple, with minimum clearance requirements to ensure air circulation and proper operation of the unit.
The Memmert IN160 combines performance, reliability and ease of use to meet the daily needs of laboratories. Its thermal precision, ergonomics and robustness make it a reliable tool for all applications requiring rigorous control of the thermal environment.
