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.

Heritable non-genetic phenotypes are enriched for stress responses as a form of bet hedging
Researchers from the University of Delaware, Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering have made strides in enhancing the resilience of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells used in biopharmaceutical production. By employing the INFORS HT Multitron incubator shaker, they exposed CHO cells to stress conditions commonly encountered during manufacturing, such as elevated levels of ammonia, lactate, and osmolality. Through comprehensive transcriptomic analysis, the team identified 199 genes exhibiting bistable expression, with seven emerging as prime candidates for engineering stress-resistant cell lines. This research holds promise for optimizing cell health and boosting productivity in large-scale bioreactor operations.

A Flexible Hybrid Site‐Specific Integration‐Based Expression System in CHO Cells for Higher‐Throughput Evaluation of Monoclonal Antibody Expression Cassettes
Researchers from the University of Delaware's Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering have developed a site-specific integration (SSI) system to streamline CHO cell line development for monoclonal antibody (mAb) production. Using the INFORS HT Multitron incubator shaker, they cultivated cells under optimized conditions to evaluate a recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) system that enables high-throughput transgene selection without cell sorting. Their approach resulted in a 7- to 11-fold increase in mAb productivity, offering a faster and more reliable method for biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

A Combination of Receptor-Binding Domain and N-Terminal Domain Neutralizing Antibodies Limits the Generation of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Neutralization-Escape Mutants
Researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Adimab LLC, and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases explored how combining neutralizing antibodies targeting different parts of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can help prevent escape mutants. Using the INFORS HT Multitron incubator shaker, they cultivated cells under controlled conditions to test antibody effectiveness. Their approach could strengthen antibody-based COVID-19 treatments by improving effectiveness and reducing resistance.

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.
