Why Choose the Memmert ICO?
Every engineering decision in the ICO serves one goal: a perfectly controlled, condensation-free environment that protects your most valuable biological samples.
Condensation-Free Stability
Precise active humidification and dehumidification combined with optimised airflow maintains condensation-free conditions up to 95% RH at 37°C, protecting cultures from contamination and disturbances.
Battery-Buffered CO₂ Control
Uninterruptible CO₂ regulation during power failures thanks to battery backup in the ControlCOCKPIT. Your cells remain protected even when the lights go out.
180°C Hot-Air Sterilisation
The entire interior including all sensors can be sterilised at 180°C within 60 minutes. No sensor removal, no reassembly required.
HEPA-Filtered Chamber Air
An integrated HEPA filter continuously cleans the entire chamber air volume, filtering it completely every 60 seconds for cleanroom-like air quality inside the working chamber.
Advanced User Security
RFID or fingerprint access control, full audit trails and enhanced user management ensure samples are always protected. Remote mobile alarm notifications day or night.
10-Year Data Logger
FDA-compliant logging of temperature, CO₂, O₂ and humidity data stored for up to 10 years. USB and Ethernet connectivity for remote data access and programme uploads.
Optional O₂ Control
Setting range of 1 to 20% O₂ for hypoxic and anaerobic applications. Ideal for stem cell research, IVF, and protocols requiring precise atmospheric control beyond standard CO₂ incubation.
NextGen Ergonomic Design
Significantly reduced unit height saves valuable bench space and enables stacking of larger models. The display can be repositioned lower on stacked units for comfortable eye-level operation.
ACT Label - Lab Sustainability
Certified with the ACT Label from MyGreenLab, a leading independent standard for sustainable laboratory equipment. Exceptional performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
Built for the Most Demanding Cell Culture Work
Wherever precisely controlled environmental conditions are required for sensitive biological materials, the Memmert ICO ensures stability and reproducibility.
Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research
Consistent and reproducible conditions for cultivating sensitive stem cells, where any deviation in temperature, humidity or CO₂ can compromise viability and differentiation outcomes.
IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology
Stable CO₂ and humidity conditions for the most delicate cell and tissue samples, including embryo culture where minor environmental fluctuations can affect fertilisation rates.
CAR T-Cell Therapy and Personalised Medicine
Supports advanced immunotherapy workflows where reproducible cultivation conditions are critical for patient-specific cell expansion and quality-assured therapeutic production.
Organoid and Spheroid Research
3D cell culture models require exceptional environmental homogeneity. The ICO's condensation-free chamber protects these complex structures throughout extended culture periods.
Pharmaceutical Research and Drug Development
Reliable incubation conditions for drug discovery assays, cytotoxicity testing, and QC workflows where reproducibility across batches is essential for regulatory compliance.
Clinical Diagnostics and Microbiology
Create stable environments for bacterial cultivation, cell-based diagnostics, and microbiological testing with the hygiene standards required in clinical laboratory settings.
Four Models to Suit Every Lab
From compact benchtop to high-throughput capacity, all sharing the same NextGen technology platform and condensation-free performance.
Key Performance Data
Engineered for Clean, Safe Incubation
Every surface and design choice in the ICO is optimised to minimise contamination risk and simplify decontamination, keeping your cultures protected and your protocols compliant.
High-quality stainless steel surfaces throughout with rounded corners and no dead zones to harbour contamination
180°C hot-air sterilisation completes in 60 minutes including all sensors with no disassembly required
Integrated HEPA filter purifies the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds
Membrane filter on all incoming gas lines prevents external contaminants from entering the chamber
