Memmert IN260plus incubator, 256 L, with TwinDISPLAY and natural convection

The Memmert IN260plus is a high-precision incubator with natural convection, designed specifically for laboratory applications where air turbulence must be avoided. With a generous chamber volume of 256 litres and the advanced TwinDISPLAY control system, this model offers maximum process reliability for the incubation of sensitive organisms in research, medicine, pharmaceuticals and food technology.

High-end control system: ControlCOCKPIT with TwinDISPLAY

Unlike the standard version, the IN260plus features the adaptive TwinDISPLAY. Two high-resolution TFT colour graphic displays (touchscreens) enable intuitive setting and monitoring of all parameters. Make use of exclusive functions such as HeatBALANCE for individual adjustment of the heat output distribution (top/bottom) or the graphical programming of temperature profiles directly on the unit.

Gentle temperature control without forced air circulation

Natural convection ensures purely thermal air circulation without a fan. This effectively prevents samples from drying out and minimises the risk of cross-contamination from airborne particles. The integrated 4-sided all-round heating guarantees homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the entire stainless steel interior.

Maximum safety & sterilisation

The IN260plus offers dual safety through two Pt100 temperature sensors (DIN Class A), which monitor each other and take over the function in the event of a fault (AutoSAFETY). For hygienically critical areas, a permanently installed sterilisation programme is integrated, which reliably sterilises the interior (without samples) at +160 °C for 4 hours.
