Memmert IN160 Incubator, 161 L, with natural convection, +20 to +80 °C

The Memmert IN160 is a precision incubator with natural convection, specially designed for applications where air turbulence must be avoided. With a generous chamber volume of 161 litres, this model offers ample space for the gentle incubation of sensitive organisms in research, medicine, pharmaceuticals and food technology.

Gentle temperature control without forced air circulation

Thanks to natural convection, heat transfer takes place purely thermally without a fan. This effectively prevents samples from drying out and minimises the risk of cross-contamination from airborne particles. The integrated 4-sided heating ensures homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the entire stainless steel interior.

Intuitive control: ControlCOCKPIT with SingleDISPLAY

Operation is carried out via the ControlCOCKPIT with SingleDISPLAY. The adaptive PID microprocessor controller with a high-resolution TFT colour graphic display enables precise adjustment of temperature and air damper position via touch. The digital timer (countdown timer) is adjustable from 1 minute to 99 days. The SetpointWAIT function guarantees process-reliable operations: the process time only starts once the setpoint temperature has actually been reached.

Hygienic stainless steel design & double doors

Both the textured housing and the interior are made of high-quality, rust-proof stainless steel (grade 1.4301), which is robust, scratch-resistant and easy to clean. A fully insulated stainless steel door with a 2-point locking mechanism and an inner glass door allow samples to be observed without heat loss. Safety is ensured by an adjustable electronic temperature monitor and a mechanical temperature limiter TB (protection class 1 in accordance with DIN 12880).
