Why should anyone optimise the performance of an incubator for rapid, and thus energy-intensive, heating up and cooling down phases, when it is used mainly for storing samples at constant temperatures?

As a consequence of this consideration, Memmert Engineering developed the new storage chamber IPS, based on Peltier technology. Running with no vibration and above all practically silent, this environmentally friendly heating/cooling system saves on operating costs to a considerable extent.

Not only are energy costs reduced, which can make a big difference for companies and institutions with environmental certification, but also the costs for refrigerants and maintenance of the refrigeration.
