Celltron
The perfect lab shaker addition to your CO2 incubator
Introduce your lab to the benefits of shaking technology that mitigates risks to your cells in an existing CO2 incubator. The Celltron is a compact, economical, and energy efficient shaker that can be easily incorporated into your existing lab space.
Advantages
Generate minimal heat during operation
The magnetic drive with gentle acceleration provides minimum energy consumption and low heat-input into the static incubator.
Access controls without opening the incubator
With the control panel outside, monitoring the shaker status is easy. Maintain longevity of the Celltron system having the controller outside of the incubator cabinet to avoid the harsh CO2 and humidity environment.
Reduce corrosion and contamination risks
The use of enhanced materials such as ABS plastic and stainless steel and the certified antimicrobial housing coating makes the Celltron an ideal choice for use under corrosive conditions with humidification and CO2 gassing.

Bioactive glass microscaffolds for tissue engineering
Researchers from the Laboratory of Process Technology (NeptunLab), Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK), University of Freiburg (Germany) developed a new way to produce bioactive glass microscaffolds for tissue engineering using advanced 3D printing technology. During in vitro mineralization studies, samples were incubated in the INFORS HT Minitron incubator shaker, where the material demonstrated strong bioactivity. The scaffolds were also shown to be compatible with human mesenchymal stromal cells and supported osteogenic differentiation, providing a new platform for studying scaffold design in tissue engineering.

Engineering yeast for anaerobic 2,3-butanediol and glycerol production
Researchers from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) used enzyme-constrained genome-scale models (ecGEMs) to redesign the anaerobic metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the co-production of 2,3-butanediol and glycerol. Seed cultures were prepared using the INFORS HT Minitron incubator shaker before fermentation experiments, enabling validation of model predictions through bioreactor cultivation and proteomic analysis. The study demonstrated that engineered yeast cells could achieve high glucose uptake rates by reallocating cellular resources toward glycolysis, highlighting the potential of ecGEMs as a powerful tool for metabolic engineering and strain development.

Identifying stress-resistance biomarkers in CHO cells
Researchers from the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Delaware (USA) developed a transcriptomic workflow called MemorySeq to identify stress-responsive biomarkers in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells exposed to manufacturing-related stress conditions. Using the INFORS HT Minitron incubator shaker for controlled CHO cell cultivation, the study identified 199 genes with heritable transcriptional variability linked to stress adaptation, apoptosis regulation, and metabolic pathways. These findings provide new insights into engineering more stress-tolerant CHO cell lines for improved biopharmaceutical manufacturing performance.

Cell culture in the bioreactor: A practical guide to process development from shake flask to scale-up
Moving a mammalian cell culture process from shake flask to bioreactor is more than a scale-up exercise. Each transition introduces new challenges in oxygen transfer, pH control, CO₂ management, mixing, and data reproducibility. This practical guide explores the key stages of cell culture process development, explains why process transfer often fails, and shows how integrated bioreactor control and data management help create scalable, reproducible processes from screening through scale-up.

Buying used laboratory equipment: What should you evaluate before making a purchase?
Buying used laboratory equipment can reduce upfront costs and improve short-term flexibility. However, when evaluating a used incubator shaker, laboratories must consider contamination risk, service history, manufacturer support status, and long-term cost of ownership. A structured assessment ensures that short-term savings do not introduce long-term operational instability.

How do you protect incubation workflows from contamination and downtime?
Contamination remains a persistent risk in incubation workflows, with the potential to compromise experimental results, delay timelines, and require costly repeat work. Even brief exposure during routine handling or access can introduce unwanted particles that affect culture integrity and reproducibility. The Multitron Incubator Shaker with the integrated HEPA filtration system is designed to help laboratories maintain consistent air quality throughout incubation. By providing continuous air purification and measurable performance, INFORS HT supports reliable cultivation conditions that reduce the risk of contamination-related interruptions and help keep research on track.
