Memmert ICO 240 | USA Lab
The Memmert ICO 240 CO₂ Incubator is designed for precise and reliable incubation of cell cultures, bacteria, and other sensitive samples in laboratory settings. With its cutting-edge technology and robust build, the ICO 240 ensures optimal growth conditions for research, diagnostics, and pharmaceutical applications.
Key Features:
- Accurate Temperature Control: The Peltier heating and cooling system provides precise temperature regulation from +18°C to +50°C, ensuring consistent incubation conditions.
- CO₂ Control: Advanced sensors guarantee accurate CO₂ concentration for stable pH values, critical for cell culture viability.
- Passive Humidity Control: Achieves relative humidity (RH) of up to 93% with the inclusion of a water dish, ideal for maintaining a high-humidity environment.
- Safety First: Features an automatic diagnostics system and visual/audible alarms to ensure sample integrity and operator safety.
- User-Friendly Operation: Equipped with a modern touchscreen control panel and USB/Ethernet connectivity for seamless data logging and remote monitoring.
Applications:
The ICO 240 is perfect for laboratories conducting:
- Cell culture and tissue engineering
- Microbiology and bacteriology
- Pharmaceutical and clinical research
- Food safety testing
Compact yet powerful, the Memmert ICO 240 is a dependable incubator that meets the demands of professional laboratories while delivering unmatched precision and reliability.
Memmert ICO 240 and ICO 240 K7 Comparison
The Memmert ICO 240 and ICO 240 K7 are both CO₂ incubators designed for precise control of environmental conditions in laboratory settings. The primary difference between the two models lies in their humidity control capabilities:
ICO 240:
This standard model includes a Peltier element that limits the relative humidity (RH) in the chamber to approximately 93% when a water dish is inserted. This passive humidity control is suitable for applications where maintaining a high humidity level is sufficient.
ICO 240 K7:
This model is equipped with the optional K7 active humidity control system, allowing precise regulation of humidity levels within a range of 40% to 97% RH, or the option to turn off humidity control entirely. This feature is beneficial for applications requiring specific humidity settings or rapid recovery times after door openings.
Summary:
If your work necessitates precise and adjustable humidity control, the ICO 240 K7 with the active humidity control option would be the more suitable choice. For applications where high humidity without precise control suffices, the standard ICO 240 model should meet your needs.
