Temperature Range
Ambient +17°C to 40°C
Temperature Uniformity
± 1°C at 37°C
Volume
0.65 cu. ft. (18L)
- Digital display provides continuous monitoring of chamber temperature
- Simple control panel allows intuitive operation and precise adjustments
- Smooth interior surfaces are easy to clean for routine maintenance
- Interior lighting enhances visibility during use
- Compact design at 15.87 lb. and 13.7 x 17.9 x 15.8 in. makes it ideal for small lab spaces
The Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMC 18 Compact Microbiological Incubator is designed for the preparation and cultivation of microbiological cultures and microorganism. With a controllable temperature range of +17 to 40°C, the unit provides stable and uniform conditions supported by spatial deviations of just ± 1°C and temporal deviations of ± 0.2°C at 37°C. Preheating to 37°C takes only 15 minutes, while recovery after a 30-second door opening is achieved in just 5 minutes, ensuring consistent incubation conditions.
This compact 18L incubator features smooth, easy-to-clean interior surfaces and a clear digital display that continuously shows the current chamber temperature. The straightforward control panel allows adjustments in 1°C increments for precise operation. Additional design elements include a condensation tray for moisture collection, interior lighting for improved visibility, and a lightweight build at only 15.87 lb. Compact and efficient, the IMC 18 delivers reliable temperature control and consistent performance for small-scale laboratory applications.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.
The Thermo Scientific Heratherm IMC 18 Compact Microbiological Incubator includes:
- > 3 x Shelves
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- Inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels, replacing any affected areas to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Thoroughly examine external regulators for any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction (if applicable), replacing any compromised parts
- Inspect temperature, CO₂, and H₂O sensors (if applicable), ensuring each sensor is functioning correctly and accurately reporting conditions
- Conduct a detailed inspection of all internal wiring for frays, tears, or breakages; replace any compromised wires to ensure safe and reliable connections
- Verify that software settings align with the internal components and calibration specifications, adjusting configurations as needed for accurate operation
- Inspect and clean the fan, ensuring it is free from dust or obstructions; replace if performance is below required standards
- Examine wheels and leveling mounts for structural integrity, ensuring proper balance and stability for safe operation
- Inspect door gaskets and latches for any signs of wear or damage, replacing if necessary to maintain a secure seal and optimal environmental control
- Calibrate temperature accuracy at 37°C using a NIST-traceable probe, confirming it meets required tolerances
- Calibrate CO₂ level to 5% using a Fyrite combustion test kit (if applicable), ensuring precise atmospheric conditions
- Monitor temperature and CO₂ stability over a 24-hour period, verifying consistent operation within specified ranges
- Conduct a thorough cosmetic inspection to confirm all external surfaces and components meet quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
