This listing is for the Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMH180 Incubator
The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate use
The Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMH180 is a high-performance, reliable incubator tailored for demanding laboratory tasks:
Precision: Excellent temperature control and uniformity.
Flexibility: Adjustable airflow, generous interior volume, and timer options.
Convenience: Viewing window, internal socket, and connectivity via RS‑232.
Cleanability & Space Efficiency: Stainless steel interior and stackable design.
Advanced Safety (Security Model): Door alarms, lockable access, and high-temperature decontamination.
Perfect for microbiology, cell culture, pharmaceutical testing, and drying applications where sample integrity and process control are critical.
Design & Functionality
Dual Convection Technology: Offers adjustable fan speed from 0 % (natural convection) to 100 %, enabling tailored air circulation depending on the sample type or protocol
Temperature Range: Operates from 5 °C above ambient up to 105 °C, making it suitable even for drying tasks
Temperature Uniformity & Stability:
With fan off: ±0.6 °C spatial uniformity
With fan at full speed: ±0.2 °C to ±0.4 °C uniformity (at 37 °C)
Temporal stability: ±0.1 °C (at 37 °C)
Capacity & Build
Interior Volume: 178 L (about 6.3 cubic feet)
Shelving: Comes with 2 stainless-steel shelves (each supporting up to ~25 kg) and can accommodate up to 19 shelves for flexible arrangement
Construction: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel interior (AISI 304) with easy-to-clean rounded corn
Controls & Usability
Controller: Microprocessor-based with a clear vacuum fluorescent display for easy setting of temperature, timers, and monitoring
Timer Functionality: Programmable daily, weekly, or real-time ON/OFF cycles for scheduling experiments
Extras:
Internal power socket (120 V models) for operating devices like shakers or stirrers inside the chamber
Internal glass viewing door and optional internal lighting for observing samples without opening the chamber
RS‑232 interface for data logging and connectivity
Stackable design without tools—efficient laboratory space use
Safety & Maintenance
Alarms: Automatic over- and under-temperature alert system protects sample integrity
Security Model (IMH180‑S):
Adds a lockable outer door and audible alarms for door‑open conditions
Includes a certified 140 °C decontamination cycle (about six hours) to sterilize the chamber without needing an autoclave—ideal for high‑sterility environments
