Incubator Shaker
Multitron
Minimize interruptions and ensure optimal productivity at every step of your bioprocess
The Multitron incubator shaker is an application-oriented shaker, configured specifically for your cell culture or microbial process conditions.
Advantages
Large capacity for parallel processing
Parallel processing in optimal growth conditions, handling screening and production in tandem. Compact design with large internal capacity, a triple stacked system has ample capacity that can be used to cultivate 63 L or 23,000 experiments in parallel in less than a square meter of space.
Reliable and reproducible results
Maintain a reliable environment for your cells with reproducible results across all trays due to the high-degree of temperature uniformity, and precision during your uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
Easy to clean and mitigate risks
Designed with reducing lab contamination in mind, the Multitron Incubator Shaker has rounded corners that make interior cleaning easy. The bottom well is accessible for cleaning and the optional UV emission source in the air flow path provides additional safety.

HEPA filtration system
Consistent air quality with uninterrupted growth
Ensure contamination-free conditions without interrupting your research. With the HEPA filtration system providing continuous air purification, capturing 99.995% of airborne particles, you can maintain a clean environment that supports reliable, reproducible results. Class 10 (ISO 4) air quality is restored within 3 minutes of closing the door, keeping your cultures protected and your research on track without added downtime or decontamination cycles. The application note data confirms this protection during active use, showing contamination control in exposed media and internal surfaces during open-vessel bacterial and mammalian cell cultivation.
Sustainability and Performance
First shaker to earn the ACT label: Multitron manufactured in Europe
The Multitron incubator shaker, manufactured in Bottmingen Switzerland, is the first shaker to earn the ACT Label (Environmental Impact Factor Label), recognizing its sustainable design and environmental responsibility. Engineered for high performance with a reduced environmental impact, the Multitron sets new standards for sustainable lab equipment while ensuring full support for at least 10 years, including responsible disposal guidance.
Key highlights:
- Operates at just 3.5 kWh* per day, tested with My Green Lab’s Energy Testing Protocol.
- Manufactured in Bottmingen Switzerland in an ISO 14001, EU RoHS compliant facility, free from chemicals of concern.
- 60% recycled content in the iron counterweight, contributing to sustainable manufacturing.
- 100% recycled polyurethane foam pad, enhancing eco-friendly packaging solutions.
* Use case: 37°C setpoint, 125 to 135 min-1, 25 mm throw, 23 h operation including heating-up; without cooling: 1 h standby; with cooling: 1 h at 10°C setpoint
Worried about lab space?
The Multitron incubator shaker, compared to its competitors, has an ideal working height of 140 cm on the upper unit and ensures easy access to the user. Even with the door opened, the maximum height reaches 180 cm, taking up minimal lab space.
Product specifications
- Shipped pre-configured and stackable: Available as a benchtop/floor-standing unit or in two- and three-stack configurations, with optional top cooling units.
- Ergonomic access: Working height of 29 cm (single stack) or 140 cm (triple stack) ensures easy access to all units.
- Compact footprint: 1070 mm × 880 mm with 8 cm ventilation clearance needed on each side.
- Flexible options: Orbital throws of 3 mm, 25 mm, 50 mm, or adjustable (12.5–50 mm); LED lighting supports phototrophic growth with programmable day-night cycles.
- HEPA filtration: Captures 99.995% of particles ≥ 0.3 microns, reaches Class 10 (ISO 4) air quality in 3 minutes, and supports uninterrupted 24/7 culturing.

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.
