Heating/cooling technology
An air circulation fan placed in the air jacket of the cooled incubator ensures uniform temperatures.
DocumentationQuality included: Long-term log memory, Celsius remote control and logging software, interfaces for programming, storage and printout, as well as a MEMory Card for programming and documentation.
- Climate diagram Memmert ICH
Thanks to the finely tuned control technology, the setpoint temperature in the Memmert climate chamber ICH is exactly reached without any control fluctuations. In combination with the air jacket temperature control, unmatched temperature and humidity homogeneity within the entire interior is guaranteed.
A multifunctional fuzzy controller (P class) with permanent performance adjustments and integrated self-diagnosis system, as well as two high-quality platinum temperature sensors Pt100, ensure absolutely reliable temperature control and the highest process safety and control accuracy for stability tests in the pharmaceutical as well as the food, cosmetics or tobacco industry.
- Temperature range: - 10 °C to + 60 °C (ICH 256), 0 °C to + 60 °C (ICH256L), - 10 °C to + 60 °C (ICH 256C), with a display and adjustment precision of 0.1 °C
- Multiple overtemperature protection: An adjustable undertemperature / overtemperature controller TWW protection class 3.3 (optional adjustable electronic temperature limiter TWB) takes over control at a preset temperature in case of a malfunction. As a special safety feature, we offer an "ASF" integrated overtemperature and undertemperature protection, which automatically monitors the setpoint value at freely selectable intervals. An alarm signal is activated if limits are crossed. The heating is switched off if the maximum value is exceeded and, if the temperature falls below the minimum limit value, the cooling unit is switched off as well. In addition, a mechanical temperature limiter TB permanently switches off heating if the maximum permitted chamber temperature is exceeded by approx. 10 °C.
- 2 high-grade platinum temperature sensors Pt 100 in a 4-wire circuit (for stable long-term transmission of measurement signals) with mutual sensor monitoring and operation transfer at same working temperature

Peltier technology, as well as active humidification and dehumidification in the Memmert constant climate chamber are optimally adapted to stability tests according to ICH guidelines and long-term material tests.
Rapid, precise and energy-saving temperature changes along with fast humidity recovery times for controlled environment simulation, climate tests, temperature tests or ageing tests.
The Memmert cooled incubator IPP is ideal for storing protein crystals, due to its low-vibration properties and high-precision temperature control.
Using a Memmert vacuum oven VO, pharmaceutical companies determine the dry content of gel capsules in accordance with standard 731 of the USP (United States Pharmacopeia), and the water content in accordance with USP 921.
