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.

See allMaintaining a sterile environment is essential in bioprocess laboratories, particularly when working with sensitive cell cultures or microbial samples. Contamination not only jeopardizes experimental results, but it can also lead to costly downtime and wasted resources. In this first installment of our Back to Basics blog series, we focus on the role of UV decontamination in incubator shakers and how it serves as an effective risk mitigation strategy.
In the fast-paced world of bioprocessing, having reliable lab equipment is critical for research and process development success. The Multitron incubator shaker has been designed with these demands in mind, offering precision and efficiency that directly address the challenges scientists face in their labs. Whether you are optimizing culture conditions or scaling up processes, the Multitron shaker provides the tools you need to advance your research with confidence.
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.
