IN160plus Memmert – Precision incubator for scientific and industrial applications
The Memmert IN160plus incubator is designed to ensure precise and stable temperature control in scientific, medical, pharmaceutical and food research environments. With a temperature range adjustable between +20 and +80 °C and accuracy to within a tenth of a degree, it meets the strict requirements of experimental protocols and analytical processes. Its digital PID control system, operated via the TwinDISPLAY interface, allows optimal adjustment of parameters, ensuring reliable results and reproducible experiments.
The integrated HeatBALANCE technology distributes the heating power between the upper and lower circuits, optimising thermal homogeneity throughout the working chamber. The SetpointWAIT function ensures that process timing only starts once the desired temperature has been reached, which is essential for sensitive protocols. The ability to calibrate three separate temperature points offers flexibility of use for different sample types and applications.
The IN160plus features natural convection, promoting gentle and even heat distribution. Electronically controlled preheated fresh air intake ensures a stable environment while minimising fluctuations. The stainless steel working chamber is not only durable but also easy to clean, with smooth, reinforced surfaces to prevent retention areas.
In terms of safety, this incubator incorporates several protection systems. A mechanical temperature limiter and an overheating control device protect the appliance and the samples. The AutoSAFETY system automatically monitors temperature deviations and triggers visual and audible alarms in the event of a fault, switching off the heating if necessary. A self-diagnostic system also allows any faults to be detected and identified quickly.
Its practical and ergonomic design includes a fully insulated outer door with two-point locking and an inner glass door for visual inspection of samples without disturbing the internal atmosphere. The incubator is equipped with two electropolished stainless steel shelves, and the total capacity allows for up to eight shelf levels to be installed. With a maximum load capacity of 210 kg and proven robustness, this incubator is suitable for heavy loads and repeated handling.
The IN160plus also stands out for its connectivity and programming options. The AtmoCONTROL software, available on a USB stick, allows programmes to be created, managed and transferred via an Ethernet or USB connection. Data is retained even in the event of a power failure, ensuring the continuity of cycles in progress.
Compact but offering a generous working volume of 161 litres, the IN160plus combines thermal precision, safety, reliability and ease of use. It is therefore a relevant choice for laboratories and production units looking for a high-performance incubator for their demanding applications.
