This incubator protects sensitive samples and provides a reliable solution for accuracy requirements.

What applications are possible?

The incubators are ideal for microbiological testing, food testing and working with sensitive materials. They are ideal for all applications where a constant temperature is required. The integrated air circulation supports heat equalization and promotes efficient air flow. A Memmert incubator is also suitable for cell cultivation and cosmetics analysis.

Why is temperature so important?

Sensitive samples often require exact conditions at 37 °C. Temperature fluctuations can influence the results and complicate the protocols. Thanks to intelligent control technology, critical values remain constant. Memmert incubators stabilize even small deviations and prevent temperature overshoots. A constant environment is crucial for reliable and reproducible results.

How natural convection is supported in the incubator

Natural convection ensures gentle air circulation, which enables a constant temperature distribution. The all-round surface heating system in Memmert appliances makes it possible to incubate sensitive samples without drying them out. The interior remains evenly warm without the need for a forced air flow. This protects the sample material in laboratories and pharmacies.

A unique Memmert control cockpit monitors the temperature in the range from 20 °C to 80 °C with an accuracy of 0.1 K. The appliance has a capacity of 53 l, which is sufficient for a wide range of experiments. There are 8 models up to 750 l to choose from. The stainless steel inner housing benefits from 4 grids for optimal sample placement.

The construction is carefully tested and CE certified. A stable design protects at temperatures up to 80 °C and enables crucial incubations at 37 °C. Convection and forced climate control are controlled as required. The appliance consumes 850 W and requires 115/230 V, 50/60 Hz. A shipping weight of 78 kg facilitates transportation, while the 3-year guarantee offers peace of mind.

DIN 12880:2007-05 conformity guarantees a fixed temperature match. This principle works almost silently, which protects the finest samples. The solution is professional and remains reliable in continuous operation.

  • Capacity: 53 l
  • Temperature range: 20 °C to 80 °C
  • Temperature accuracy: 0.1 K
  • Number of models: 8

Thanks to their sophisticated technology, Memmert laboratory appliances are reliable even under demanding conditions. They enable precise heating that optimally supports sensitive applications.

Circulating air or natural convection - which is best?

A Memmert incubator combines precise temperature control with a high degree of flexibility. Many laboratories debate whether forced convection or natural convection offers the better temperature distribution. When fully loaded, careful planning allows samples to be heated evenly. An integrated temperature limiter protects sensitive research samples and keeps the temperature constant.

Forced air circulation and air flap position

Forced air flows accelerate heat distribution. The finely tuned air flap position controls the supply of preheated air and prevents sensitive media from drying out. This minimizes the risk of temperature fluctuations, especially at high load levels. In the field of food chemistry, many appreciate the constant temperature stability, as sensitive samples require safe conditions. Purity is maintained as there are no large temperature fluctuations or foreign contamination.

Cleaning stainless steel interior

The robust construction made of cleanable stainless steel makes maintenance considerably easier. Dirt and germs hardly stick, which is very important in everyday laboratory work. The heat distribution remains even, which increases process reliability. Users benefit from a reliable solution for a wide range of samples.

Forced convection Natural convection
Rapid heat distribution Gentle air circulation
Perfect for large numbers of samples Less drying out of sensitive cultures
Homogeneous temperature control Constant conditions without strong flow
