MEMMERT

IC050 56l CO2 incubator with standard sterilisation program

Reference: MEM-ICO50

The smallest ICO, without compromise on safety

Where bench space is limited but reliability cannot be, the Memmert ICO50 brings the full safety architecture of the ICO range — dual-sensor temperature monitoring, dual-beam NDIR CO₂ control, and AutoSAFETY protection — into a compact 56 L footprint. It is the entry model of a four-size range (56 to 241 L), designed for labs running smaller batches of cell, bacteria or tissue cultures without sacrificing the redundant monitoring found on larger ICO models.

Key technical highlights:

Dual-beam NDIR CO₂ control: digital electronic regulation with auto-diagnostic system, acoustic fault indication, and barometric pressure compensation
Twin Pt100 temperature sensors (DIN Class A, 4-wire): mutual monitoring, automatic error takeover, accuracy ±0.1 K at 37°C
AutoSAFETY (ASF): independent over-/undertemperature protection following setpoint at preset tolerance; automatic heating/cooling cutoff; visual and acoustic alarm
Built-in sterilization program: 60 minutes at 180°C, without removing the sensors
ControlCOCKPIT TwinDISPLAY: adaptive multifunctional digital PID-microprocessor controller with 2 high-definition TFT color displays, 9 languages (DE, EN, ES, FR, PL, CZ, HU, IT, ZH)
SetpointWAIT function: process/program time only starts once the set temperature is reached
6-side full-surface heating concept: prevents condensation even in the smallest chamber of the range
Ethernet LAN / USB connectivity: AtmoCONTROL software for programming, management and data transfer; program retained in memory in case of power failure
Mobile alarm notifications: visual and acoustic alarm plus remote alert if temperature, CO₂, O₂ or humidity ranges are exceeded
3 years worldwide guarantee
