CO2 Incubator ICOmed
Those who can control the temperature with the highest precision can also redefine precision time and time again.
Memmert develops and produces climate chambers, heating and drying ovens, incubators and water baths.
Memmert develops and produces climate chambers, heating and drying ovens, incubators and water baths. The areas of application include microbiological tests, cell cultivation, incubation, conditioning and industrial quality assurance testing.
All parameters are regulated with highest precision and control. Our products, including the CO2 incubator ICOmed, hot-air sterilisers SFplus, heating ovens Um, incubators Im and IFbw blanket warmers, are classified as medical devices with various entities.
These are also designed to support the stringent quality regulations of good manufacturing practices (GMP), the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and comparable regulations.
For more than two decades, Memmert has been the technology leader in energy-efficient incubators and climate chambers, to be heated and cooled with a single Peltier system.
No other manufacturer offers Peltier appliances with comparable performance and a similarly wide range with appliance sizes of up to 2,140l interior chamber volume.
Introduced in 2020, Peltier appliances with the Advanced Peltier Technology set new standards in energy efficiency, precision, quietness and reliability, due to coordinated systems and high energy efficiency.
The Peltier technology is particularly economical and energy-saving at working temperatures close to the ambient temperature, as energy is only consumed when heating or cooling is required.
The constant climate chamber HPPeco was specially designed for long-term applications under constant environmental conditions and scores points with its homogeneous and stable distribution of temperature and humidity.
A new micro-dosing pump in combination with an intelligent control system ensures fast and sensitive humidification of the chamber interior. Common applications include stability tests according to ICH Q1A in the pharma industry as well as stability tests and shelf-life tests in the food and cosmetics industries.
The Peltier-cooled incubator IPPeco is mainly used in the microbiological laboratory for cultivation above and below room temperature, bacterial count determination and shelf-life tests.
As the IPP110eco to IPP1060eco units can be cooled down to freezing point, they offer a wide range of applications. While offering reduced energy consumption, this Peltier-cooled incubator achieves optimum values for finely adjusted heating, cooling and recovery after opening the door.
Stability tests are used to investigate the extent to which the microbiological, chemical and physical stability of drugs and individual substances changes when stored under controlled conditions over a defined period of time. From the results, conclusions can be drawn about shelf life and use-by date, as well as the conditions for storage and transport.
For the storage of stability samples, Memmert has two constant climate chambers in its product range: the climate chamber HPPeco and the compressor-cooled climate chamber ICH with climate-friendly CO2 (R744) as a refrigerant.
The ICHeco L version with lighting unit offers the option of photostability testing in accordance with ICH Guidelines Q1B, Option 2, and is equipped with fluorescent lamps with cold white light (daylight: light colour 865, 6,500K) and UV radiation in the 320nm to 400nm spectral range (corresponds to standard light D 65).
For the cultivation of cell and tissue cultures, Memmert offers the CO2 incubator ICOmed with air jacket temperature control.
To ensure the reproducibility of experiments, all elementary parameters can be regulated, controlled, and documented. The control is finely tuned so that the set temperature is reached without overshoot.
Even minimal fluctuations in CO2 concentration can stress or irreparably damage the cell culture and thus falsify the test results. To ensure uninterrupted CO2 control, the buffer battery in the ControlCOCKPIT therefore takes over when there is a power failure.
Active humidity control and comprehensive surface heating ensure short recovery times after opening the door and minimal evaporation in the interior. The consistently homogeneous atmosphere is ensured by turbulence-free ventilation.
The software AtmoCONTROL enables quick and intuitive operation of Memmert incubators, climate chambers and lab ovens.
In particular, the graphic programming of the parameters makes everyday laboratory work much easier.
All processes can be completely logged and documented. An FDA edition of the software is optionally available.
At two locations in southern Germany (Schwabach and Büchenbach), Memmert has been developing and manufacturing climate and temperature control appliances since 1947.
Hundreds of thousands of appliances are in use worldwide. A global network of sales and service partners, as well as Memmert’s own subsidiaries in China, India and Russia guarantee fast service and expert application advice on site.
Those who can control the temperature with the highest precision can also redefine precision time and time again.
Memmert's climate chambers offer maximum energy efficiency in continuous operation - customised for stability studies according to ICH guidelines.
Memmert's Peltier-cooled incubator IPPeco sets eco-standards for cultivation below room temperature.
Memmert's waterbaths are ideal for ointment, emulsion, sample, plate and nutrient solution temperature control in laboratory settings.
Peltier temperature-controlled units are available alongside refrigerators, cooled incubators, and climate chambers. The climate chambers are cooled by a compression refrigeration system.
In 1990, the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) was born. This paper summarises the main contents of Guideline ICH Q1A (R2), which deals with the stability testing of new drug products and new drug substances.
There are a variety of CO2 incubators on the market. Every manufacturer claims to create optimal and reproducible conditions for the cultivation of living organisms in its device.
Memmert GmbH + Co. KG is the market leader in innovative climate chambers for decades now. While the company began almost a century ago with the humble beginnings as a hot air sterilizer producer to meet the shortage demands of the Red Cross in 1947, it has since expanded its product portfolio and established its image as the world’s go-to Climate Chamber producer by launching a new distribution company in one of the leading markets.
31 May 2021The year’s live event for the ACHEMA community is the ACHEMA Pulse 2021. Although held every third year at an actual venue with attendees, due to pandemic restrictions, Memmert, and other industry members, will be hosting their exhibitions online at this year’s virtual ACHEMA Pulse 2021.
24 May 2021Memmert presents one of its classics with modern comfort features and a contemporary design: the new waterbath WTB is light, compact, user-friendly and modularly expandable.
17 December 2020The new Memmert constant climate chamber HPPeco and the cooled incubator IPPeco operate with hitherto unrivalled efficiency.
10 December 2020Memmert appointed Philipp Schwarm, who worked for the company since April 2019, as new managing director in May.
