Memmert IN450 – Professional incubator for scientific and industrial applications
The Memmert IN450 incubator stands out for its precision and reliability in maintaining stable thermal conditions, which are essential for the success of many experimental protocols. Its adjustable temperature range from +20 °C to +80 °C, with an accuracy of 0.1 °C, allows it to be used for a wide range of applications, from cell culture to pharmaceutical testing, food and chemical analysis. Thanks to natural convection technology, heat is distributed evenly throughout the chamber, avoiding any risk of localised variations that could compromise the quality of the results.
The ControlCOCKPIT digital control system with high-definition colour display provides a clear and intuitive interface for setting parameters. The user can easily set the temperature, program the incubation time and adjust the air flap position. The SetpointWAIT mode ensures that the timing of tests only starts once the set temperature has been reached, guaranteeing the reproducibility of experiments. In addition, the three-point calibration function allows the device to be adapted to the specific needs of each laboratory, ensuring optimum measurement accuracy.
The IN450 also features a controlled ventilation system with electronically adjustable preheated fresh air intake. This feature prevents thermal shocks while ensuring constant air renewal, which is essential for certain microbiological protocols. The 449-litre chamber, made entirely of electropolished stainless steel, is not only corrosion-resistant but also extremely easy to clean, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between test series.
In terms of safety, the incubator is equipped with double protection against overheating: an adjustable electronic limiter and a mechanical limiter that cuts off the heating at approximately 20°C above the nominal temperature. A self-diagnostic system also quickly detects any malfunctions, minimising unexpected downtime. The internal memory retains the programmed data even in the event of a power failure, ensuring the continuity of the processes in progress.
The IN450 is equipped with two electropolished stainless steel shelves and can accommodate up to eight internal levels, each supporting a maximum load of 30 kg. The total load capacity is 300 kg, making it a versatile tool capable of processing a large number of samples simultaneously. Its compact yet robust design, with textured stainless steel walls and lockable castors, makes it easy to integrate and move around the laboratory.
This incubator is also compatible with AtmoCONTROL software, allowing data to be programmed, recorded and analysed via an Ethernet connection. A USB port is available for use with a USB stick containing the software. This digital data management capability is particularly useful for ensuring traceability and meeting the regulatory requirements of the pharmaceutical and food industries.
The Memmert IN450 combines precision, safety, capacity and ease of use. It is a great choice for labs looking for a reliable, high-performance and durable incubator that can support a wide variety of experimental applications in scientific research, industrial production and quality control.
