Climate Chamber ICH - Memmert

Stability Testing in Accordance with International Guidelines

The Memmert Climate Chamber ICH is engineered specifically for pharmaceutical stability testing in accordance with ICH, WHO, EMA, ASEAN, GMP, GLP and GCCP guidelines. Its excellent temperature and humidity homogeneity places the ICH in the international top league of stability test chambers, making it a dependable platform for shelf-life studies and regulatory submissions.

Precise Temperature and Active Humidity Control

The ICH covers a temperature range of -10 to +60 °C, with active humidity control from 10 to 80 % relative humidity. Thermal transfer is guaranteed by a large-area air jacket on four sides, while the hermetically sealed interior ensures the chamber consumes virtually no water once the setpoints are reached. Two Pt100 DIN Class A sensors mutually monitor the chamber temperature for reliable, repeatable conditions.

Photostability Testing with ICHL Models

The ICHL versions add integrated lighting for ICH Q1B photostability testing, combining fluorescent daylight lamps (6,500 K, compliant with standard light D65) with UV radiation in the 320-400 nm range. This allows samples to be exposed to defined light conditions alongside controlled temperature and humidity.

Three Volumes and Robust Construction

The ICH is available in 108, 256 and 749 litre volumes (ICH110, ICH260 and ICH750). The scratch-resistant, hygienic stainless steel interior and fully insulated stainless steel door with a viewing window deliver durability and easy cleaning for demanding laboratory use.

Intuitive Control and Documentation

Operation is handled by the TwinDISPLAY controller and AtmoCONTROL software, which enable programmable temperature and humidity ramps and complete documentation of every test run. Memmert backs each chamber with a 3-year worldwide guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which guidelines does the Memmert ICH climate chamber comply with?
The ICH climate chamber is designed for pharmaceutical stability testing in accordance with ICH, WHO, EMA, ASEAN, GMP, GLP and GCCP guidelines.
What temperature and humidity range does the ICH offer?
The ICH operates over a temperature range of -10 to +60 °C, with humidity control available from +10 to +60 °C. Relative humidity is digitally and actively controlled from 10 to 80 % rh, with a temperature setting accuracy of 0.1 °C and humidity setting accuracy of 0.5 %.
What chamber sizes are available?
The ICH is available in three volumes: ICH110 (108 litres), ICH260 (256 litres) and ICH750 (749 litres). The interior of the ICH110, for example, measures 560 × 480 × 400 mm.
What is the difference between the ICH and ICHL models?
The L models (ICH110L, ICH260L, ICH750L) include integrated lighting with fluorescent daylight lamps (6,500 K, standard light D65) and UV radiation at 320-400 nm, enabling photostability testing in accordance with ICH guideline Q1B.
How does the ICH achieve its temperature and humidity homogeneity?
Thermal transfer is provided by a large-area air jacket on all four sides, and the hermetically sealed interior means the chamber consumes minimal water once setpoints are reached. Two Pt100 DIN Class A sensors mutually monitor temperature for reliable, homogeneous conditions.
How is the ICH climate chamber controlled and programmed?
The ICH uses the TwinDISPLAY controller together with AtmoCONTROL software, allowing programmable temperature and humidity ramps and full documentation of test runs. Memmert backs the chamber with a 3-year worldwide guarantee.
