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.

Typical cultivation parameters for cell cultures
Getting started with cell culture can seem like an overwhelming step: cells are sensitive to shear stress, have a high risk of contamination and are very demanding concerning the right choice of process parameters. Read this article to learn about all you need to start shaking or running your bioreactor with mammalian cells, insect cells and plant cells.

Enhancing plasmid DNA (pDNA) production: Innovations in process, manufacturing, and purification techniques
A plasmid DNA production process was performed comparing conventional Erlenmeyer flasks with LB medium and the Thomson’s Ultra Yield® system. E. coli cells were cultivated in both systems in the INFORS HT Multitron incubator shaker, bacterial growth was monitored, and the plasmids were purified at the end of cultivation. Subsequently, the quality of the isolated plasmids was analyzed by HPLC. The combination of the Ultra Yield® flasks with the enriched Plasmid+® medium and the AirOtop® enhanced seal led to higher cell densities and a 21-fold higher amount of plasmid than in Erlenmeyer shake flasks with LB medium.
