Designed for Precise Temperature Control Above and Below Ambient
The Memmert IPP110 is engineered for laboratories requiring exceptionally accurate temperature control across both refrigerated and elevated temperature ranges. Its thermoelectric Peltier system simultaneously provides efficient heating and cooling without mechanical compressors, resulting in fast temperature recovery, low operating noise, and excellent environmental stability. Because there are no compressor vibrations, the incubator is particularly well suited for sensitive microbiological cultures, environmental testing, pharmaceutical studies, and other applications where minimizing disturbance is important.
The chamber incorporates a precision Pt100 temperature sensor and adaptive PID controller to maintain highly reproducible incubation conditions. An insulated stainless steel exterior door and internal glass observation door allow users to inspect samples while minimizing temperature fluctuations, helping preserve stable environmental conditions throughout long-term incubation cycles. The energy-efficient Peltier system also significantly reduces electrical consumption compared with conventional refrigerated incubators, making the IPP110 an excellent choice for laboratories seeking lower operating costs.

Memmert IPP110 Peltier-Cooled Incubator Performance and Temperature Stability
The Memmert IPP110 Peltier-Cooled Incubator is engineered to provide exceptionally stable temperature control without the use of a conventional refrigeration compressor. Instead, thermoelectric Peltier elements supply both heating and cooling, allowing the chamber to operate quietly and with virtually no vibration. This design minimizes mechanical disturbance to sensitive samples while reducing energy consumption and eliminating many of the maintenance requirements associated with compressor-based refrigerated incubators.
Temperature regulation is managed by an adaptive PID microprocessor controller working in conjunction with a precision Pt100 Class A temperature sensor. This combination allows the incubator to maintain highly reproducible chamber conditions across a broad operating range from 0°C to 70°C. The insulated outer door and internal glass observation door help reduce heat exchange during routine culture inspections, while the electropolished stainless steel chamber promotes efficient heat transfer and simplified cleaning. Together, these features make the IPP110 well suited for laboratories requiring dependable temperature control for extended incubation periods.
