Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMC18 Benchtop Microbiological Incubator

The Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMC18 is a benchtop microbiological incubator designed for precise temperature control and compact laboratory environments. Featuring an 18-liter capacity and convection heating, this incubator supports a temperature range from 17°C to 40°C, suitable for applications requiring incubation at or below ambient temperature.

• Temperature uniformity of ±1.2°C and stability of ±0.2°C ensure consistent environmental conditions critical for microbial culture growth and bioprocessing workflows.
• Compact footprint (interior 7"x11"x12", exterior 19"x11"x17") and lightweight design (16 lb) optimize bench space in crowded laboratories.
• Supports a maximum shelf load of 4.4 lb, accommodating various sample containers essential in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology assays.
• Equipped with an easy-to-navigate LED interface to set temperature parameters and control internal lighting for visual inspection without disrupting the incubation environment.
• Operates on a wide voltage range (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz) for flexible deployment in global research facilities focusing on biotechnology, microbiology, and biomedical engineering.

This incubator is widely used in microbial culture incubation, gene editing experiments, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, where precise environmental control is critical. Its compact convection design makes it ideal for laboratories engaged in molecular cloning workflows and bioprocessing critical to synthetic biology research.

The Thermo Heratherm IMC18 is a reliable, high-precision instrument for researchers and clinical scientists requiring stable incubation conditions in a limited bench space setup.
