The Yamato INE-800-115V is a 286 L forced-air, programmable refrigerated incubator that both heats and cools — holding an operating range of 0 to +60 °C (settable −5 to +65 °C) with ±0.5 °C temperature distribution accuracy at 37 °C. Its upgraded inverter-controlled refrigeration cuts energy use by up to 44% versus the previous IN804, reduces frost, and adds an onboard electricity and CO₂ emission monitor — the "eco" in Eco Incubator. Program control (99 steps × 99 patterns) makes it suited to demanding, cycle-based incubation.

Application Profile
A refrigerated incubator matters whenever your target temperature is at or below ambient — the Yamato INE-800-115V can pull the chamber down to 0 °C and hold precise low set points that a heat-only incubator cannot reach. Forced-air convection drives uniform circulation, and the specification sheet documents ±0.5 °C distribution across nine measured points at 37 °C, making it appropriate for BOD testing, insect and plant growth, tissue and cell studies, and cyclic temperature protocols.
The "Eco" design is about running cost. Inverter refrigeration control trims wasted power during cooling and, per Yamato's comparison, delivers 37–44% lower power consumption than the earlier IN804 depending on set point, alongside a roughly 1,269 kg/year CO₂ reduction at 37 °C operation. An onboard electricity and CO₂ emission monitor surfaces that saving on the panel. Continuous, cycle, and cooling-stop modes let you tune stability against energy use.
For method development, program operation stores 99 steps across 99 patterns with auto-start, auto-stop, calendar timer, and user-setting save/readout. Safety coverage is extensive: self-diagnostics, overheat prevention, fan-malfunction and cooling high-pressure detection, inverter-fault detection, key lock, and an overcurrent/leakage breaker. Note the 220V market uses a distinct model, INE800-220V — this listing is the 115V unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the INE-800-115V "refrigerated" versus a standard incubator? It has an active 200 W inverter-controlled R134a refrigeration unit, so it both heats and cools — operating from 0 °C to +60 °C, unlike heat-only natural-convection incubators.
How energy-efficient is it? Yamato reports 37–44% lower power consumption than the previous IN804 thanks to inverter control, plus an onboard electricity and CO₂ emission monitor. Actual savings scale with set point.
Can it run temperature programs? Yes — 99 steps across 99 patterns, with auto-start, auto-stop, a calendar timer, and user-setting save/readout for repeatable cyclic protocols.
How large is the chamber and what does it include? 286 L (internal 600 × 477 × 1000 mm, effective height 800 mm), with 23 shelf steps at 30 mm pitch. It ships with five stainless punched-metal shelves, ten brackets, two keys, and a cable-hole stopper.
Is there a 220V version? Yes — INE800-220V is a separate model rated AC220V 4.5A. This SKU is the 115V unit (AC115V 8.7A); confirm voltage at order.
Ordering & Configuration
Add the INE-800-115V to a quote to confirm supply voltage, additional shelves (stainless punched-metal or wire), external alarm / time-up output terminals (specify with the main unit), and an earthquake-resistant fixture if required.
Warranty: Per Yamato standard capital-equipment terms — confirm coverage at quote.
Lead time and freight are confirmed at quote; at approximately 135 kg the unit ships as freight.
When to choose the INE-800-115V:
- You need incubation at or below room temperature (down to 0 °C) — a heat-only IC-series incubator can't cool.
- You want inverter energy savings and onboard power/CO₂ monitoring for long-running studies.
- You run programmed, cyclic temperature protocols (99 steps × 99 patterns).
For heat-only culture at 37 °C, the natural-convection IC series is the lower-cost path; choose the INE-800 when cooling and programmability are the requirement.
