Memmert ICO 50 CO₂ Incubator | USA Lab

The Memmert ICO 50 is a precision CO₂ incubator engineered for dependable cell culture, microbiology, and clinical research. Peltier-assisted thermal control, intelligent alarms, and a hygienic stainless-steel chamber deliver stable growth conditions and rapid recovery 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 through Ethernet/USB. Passive humidity up to ~93% RH is available with a water dish; optional K7 enables active humidity control.

Compact yet powerful (56 L / ~2 cu ft), the ICO 50 supports tissue engineering, pharma QC, and food safety labs seeking reproducible results and regulatory-friendly documentation.

For optimal performance, use distilled/DI water in the humidity dish and follow manufacturer sterilization guidance.
Some configurations may be built-to-order; contact us for lead time.

FAQ

What is the difference between ICO 50 and ICO 50 K7?

Both are CO₂ incubators; ICO 50 offers passive humidity up to ~93% RH with a water dish, while ICO 50 K7 adds active humidity control (40%–97% RH or RH-Off) for applications requiring precise RH or faster recovery.

What temperature and CO₂ ranges are supported?

Operate from +18 °C to +50 °C (0.1 °C setting accuracy). CO₂ control spans 0%–20% using a dual-beam NDIR sensor with barometric compensation.

How is contamination risk minimized?

The stainless chamber has a deep-drawn, seamless interior; sensors can be sterilised in-situ; and heated inner glass door reduces condensation. Automatic diagnostics and alarms further protect cultures.

Does it support data logging and remote monitoring?

Yes. TwinDISPLAY provides Ethernet/USB connectivity to save logs, manage programs, receive email alarms, and monitor multiple devices.

What is included with the unit?

ICO 50 ships with one shelf (up to 5 total), integrated TwinDISPLAY controller, power cable, and documentation. Optional K7 humidity module is available if active RH is required.
