Memmert IN260plus – Precision incubator for scientific applications
The Memmert IN260plus is a high-performance incubator designed for professionals who require precise and constant temperature control in their applications. Used in research, medical laboratories, pharmaceutical analysis and food testing, this appliance ensures optimal conditions thanks to its sophisticated control technology and robust design.
Its adjustable temperature range from +20 °C to +80 °C, with an accuracy of 0.1 °C, allows experiments and tests to be carried out in a perfectly controlled environment. Thanks to its two Pt100 probes compliant with DIN Class A, arranged in a 4-wire configuration, the device benefits from a mutual monitoring system that automatically takes over in the event of a sensor failure, thus ensuring sample safety.
The TwinDISPLAY control system offers two high-definition colour TFT screens for clear and intuitive access to all functions. Digital PID control ensures precise and stable temperature management, while specific functions such as HeatBALANCE allow the heat distribution between the upper and lower heating circuits to be adjusted to ensure optimum thermal homogeneity. The SetpointWAIT function ensures that the processing time only starts once the desired temperature has been reached, guaranteeing the reliability of experimental results.
The 256-litre working chamber, made of deep-drawn stainless steel, has integrated heating on four sides. This design ensures uniform heat distribution and easy cleaning. The stainless steel outer door is equipped with a two-point compression closure, and a tempered glass inner door allows samples to be viewed without disturbing the internal conditions.
The IN260plus operates by natural convection, limiting disturbances caused by forced air flow and thus preserving the integrity of sensitive samples. The supply of fresh air is electronically controlled via an adjustable valve, with a mixture of preheated fresh air ensuring a constant temperature.
In terms of safety, the unit incorporates several levels of protection: a mechanical temperature limiter (TB), an overheating cut-out device, an AutoSAFETY monitoring system that automatically adjusts the tolerance range, and a visual and audible alarm in the event of a temperature deviation. A self-diagnostic system also detects and reports any malfunctions.
The parameters can be programmed and managed using the AtmoCONTROL software. In the event of a power failure, the parameters and programmes are automatically saved. The unit comes with a factory calibration certificate at +37 °C, two electro-polished stainless steel shelves and offers the option of installing up to nine load levels with a maximum total capacity of 300 kg.
The Memmert IN260plus is therefore a robust, precise and reliable incubator, suitable for demanding laboratory environments, guaranteeing perfect control of thermal conditions for reproducible, high-quality results.
