Memmert ICO 105 CO₂ Incubator – 107 L (~3.8 cu ft) | USA Lab
The Memmert ICO 105 CO₂ incubator delivers precise, reliable conditions for cell culture, microbiology, and pharmaceutical workflows. Peltier-assisted temperature control, intelligent safety monitoring, and a hygienic stainless chamber keep pH stable and recovery fast after door openings.
Operate from +18 °C to +50 °C with 0.1 °C setting accuracy, manage CO₂ from 0–20% via dual-beam NDIR sensing, and log data or monitor remotely via Ethernet/USB. Passive humidity up to ~93% RH is available with a water dish; the optional K7 module enables active humidity control.
Spacious yet bench-friendly (107 L), ICO 105 supports tissue engineering, diagnostics, and food safety labs that require reproducible growth conditions and audit-ready documentation.
Use distilled/DI water in the humidity dish and run the integrated sterilisation program for best results.
Some configurations may be built-to-order. Contact us for lead time.

FAQ
How is ICO 105 different from ICO 105 K7?
Both share the same chamber and temperature/CO₂ control. The K7 adds active humidity control (40–90% RH or RH-Off) for precise RH setpoints and faster recovery; the standard ICO 105 uses passive humidity (water dish) up to ~93% RH.
How accurate is the CO₂ system?
A dual-beam NDIR sensor regulates 0–20% CO₂ with barometric compensation. Expect ±0.2% variation over time and 0.10% setting increments.
Can I monitor and log data remotely?
Yes. TwinDISPLAY supports logging via USB/Ethernet, email alarms, and multi-device monitoring (up to 32 devices).
Is there an automatic sterilisation routine?
Yes. The cabinet includes an automatic sterilisation program (60 min at 180 °C) with sensors sterilised in place.
