Description
The Memmert ICO 150 delivers precise, reliable incubation for cell culture, microbiology, pharmaceutical, and clinical workflows. A responsive Peltier-based thermal system, dual-beam NDIR CO₂ sensing, and smart safety diagnostics work together to maintain stable growth conditions with minimal drift and rapid recovery.
With TwinDISPLAY touchscreen control, Ethernet/USB connectivity, and built-in logging, the ICO 150 supports compliant records, remote monitoring, and fleet management of up to 32 devices. Choose the standard high-humidity configuration or add the optional K7 active humidity control for tightly regulated RH.
Compact yet powerful, this 156 L incubator offers ±0.1 °C temporal stability at 37 °C, precise CO₂ control (0–20%), and robust stainless-steel construction with a heated inner glass door to reduce condensation.

FAQ
ICO 150 vs. ICO 150 K7 — what’s the difference?
The standard ICO 150 achieves high humidity (~93% RH) using a water dish and Peltier limitation. The ICO 150 K7 adds active humidity control (40–90% RH) or RH-Off, with faster recovery and precise setpoints.
How accurate is the CO₂ control?
A dual-beam NDIR sensor with barometric compensation maintains stable CO₂ from 0–20% with ±0.2% variation and 0.10% setting accuracy.
What are the temperature performance specs?
Settable +18–50 °C (operates from +5 °C above ambient). At 37 °C, temporal fluctuation is ±0.1 °C and spatial variation is ±0.3 °C.
Does it include a sterilization program?
Yes. The chamber and sensors can be sterilized using a 60-minute 180 °C cycle.
