Incubator shaker
Minitron
Make the most of your research lab space with this compact and cost-effective incubator shaker
With all the capabilities of the Multitron shaker in a space-saving design, the Minitron handles a variety of applications from standard microorganisms to complex cell cultivations while fitting into the smallest laboratories.
Advantages
Precise CO₂ control
With the Minitron’s ingenious design, the precise CO2 control works with exceptional efficiency. The sealing of the housing minimizes CO2 consumption to a standard comparable to static incubators.
Consistent results
Maximize oxygenation and achieve comparable results in a range of vessels from microtiter plates to 5 L shake flasks with shaking throws of either 25 or 50 mm and high shaking speeds up to 400 rpm.
Mitigating risks of your cultures
The drive unit is powerful yet quiet and reliable for every load and has dynamic balancing to help eliminate handling errors, unwanted stopping, and unnecessary manual adjustments.

Water for Incubators
After years of feedback and study, INFORS HT has developed Water for Incubators. It is double distilled, 0.1µm filter sterilized, has a pH of 7-9 with a conductivity of 1-20 µS/cm, and is terminal sterilized. The water formulation removes certain divalent ions and raises the pH to fight off waterborne bacteria and fungi to provide a sterile culture environment.
Product specifications
- Dimensions (W x D x H): Single unit: 800 x 625 x 700 mm, Double stacked unit: 800 x 625 x 1,490 mm
- Shaking throw of either 25 or 50 mm to accommodate your flask size and application needs
- Optimal conditions for mammalian and insect cells with active CO2 control, hygienic direct steam humification limiting evaporation effects, and highly-sealed housing ensuring low CO2 consumption.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever survivors elicit protective non-neutralizing antibodies that target 11 overlapping regions on glycoprotein GP38
Researchers at Adimab, LLC isolated 188 monoclonal antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) GP38 from human survivors. While non-neutralizing, these antibodies target 11 overlapping sites and demonstrate protective efficacy in rodent models. This study provides valuable insights into CCHFV viral glycoprotein and could aid the development of antibody therapeutics for this lethal virus.

Biolayer interferometry for adeno-associated virus capsid titer measurement and applications to upstream and downstream process development
Researchers at the University of Delaware used the INFORS HT Multitron incubator shaker to evaluate biolayer interferometry (BLI) for fast, high-throughput AAV capsid titer measurement. The study highlights the accuracy of AAVX-BLI across multiple rAAV serotypes, making it a strong alternative to ELISA. Applied in transfection optimization and AAV purification, this method offers valuable insights for improving rAAV production processes.

Optimizing HEK293 cell cultures for gene therapy applications: the role of incubator flexibility
Gene therapy is a promising approach for treating various genetic disorders and diseases. A critical component of gene therapy is the production of viral vectors, which serve as delivery vehicles for therapeutic genes. Human Embryonic Kidney 293 (HEK293) cells have become a widely used platform for viral vector production due to their efficiency in transfection and ability to support viral replication. However, optimizing HEK293 cell cultures for large-scale production of viral vectors remains a challenge in making gene therapies more accessible and cost-effective.
