CO2 incubators ICOmed
High-end functions for the protection of cell cultures, bacteria cultures or tissue cultures
Sensitive primary human cell cultures
We are impressed by the technical support and the way they care their clients. We use this incubator to grow very sensitive primary human cell cultures that needs a demanding and stable environment. Incubator can be readily integrated into a regulatory environment.

Those who can control the temperature with the highest precision can also redefine precision time and time again. The control system of our CO2 incubator ICOmed is so finely tuned that the appliance reaches the setpoint temperature very quickly and without temperature overshoots. Alarm notifications to your mobile phone guarantee the safety of the chamber load, and the battery-buffered ControlCOCKPIT ensures continuous CO2 control even when there is a power failure.
Ideal hygiene is given too: rounded edges enable easy and thorough cleaning, the interior can be sterilised within 60 minutes at 180°C.
- Temperature range up to +50°C
- 4 model sizes (with a chamber volume of 56 to 241 litres)
- Fail-safe
- FDA-compliant logging of temperature
- CO2, O2, humidity, open door time data
- Battery-buffered ControlCOCKPIT: The operating display, logging and C O2, control are fully functional even during a power failure
- Visual and acoustic alarm as well as alarm notification to mobile phones if the individually adjustable temperature, CO2, O2, or humidity ranges are exceeded
- Active humidity control
- The interior chamber, including all installations and sensors, can be sterilised at +180°C in a 60-minute programme
The optional active humidity control ensures short recovery times after the door has been opened and minimises vaporisation in the interior. Together with the heating of the interior from all six sides, incl. the heated inner glass door, it offers maximum protection for cell and tissue cultures and avoids the dangerous formation of condensation. The turbulence-free chamber ventilation ensures a constant and uniform atmosphere. Especially for in-vitro fertilization, the precision and reliability of the CO2 incubator are of crucial importance, as the slightest deviation in the CO2 atmosphere, temperature or humidity content during cultivation can already affect cell development. Memmert therefore subjected its CO2 incubator ICOmed to a comprehensive medical device evaluation. Every Memmert CO2 incubator ICOmed is classified as a Class IIa medical device for the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) as well as biosynthesis. The CE label on the appliances includes the mark 0197, denoting TRLP – TÜV Rheinland as the notified body.
