Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between natural convection (UN) and forced air circulation (UF)?
Natural convection (UN) relies on physics for air movement and is ideal for delicate powders that might blow around. Forced air (UF) uses a fan to speed up the heating and drying process and provides better temperature uniformity.
2. Can Memmert incubators be used for cell culture applications?
Yes, the Memmert ICO series of CO2 incubators is specifically designed for cell culture, offering precise control over temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity, with a specialized sterilization cycle to prevent contamination.
3. Are Memmert climate chambers suitable for ICH stability testing?
Absolutely. The Memmert HPPeco constant climate chambers are specifically engineered for stability testing of pharmaceuticals and meet the requirements for ICH guidelines Q1A (long-term and accelerated testing).
4. How does Memmert’s Peltier technology benefit the environment?
Peltier technology (found in the IPPeco and HPPeco series) uses no refrigerants and is significantly more energy-efficient than compressor systems, especially when operating near ambient temperatures, reducing your lab’s carbon footprint.
