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
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.
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.
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.
Suitable applications and industries
Performance with verified environmental impact data
The Multitron incubator shaker, produced in Bottmingen, Switzerland, is the first shaker to earn My Green Lab® ACT® Ecolabel, providing third-party verified environmental impact data across key criteria. Engineered for high performance with reduced energy consumption and responsible material use, the Multitron supports laboratories in making informed, environmentally conscious purchasing decisions
Key highlights:
- Operates at just 3.5 kWh* per day, tested with My Green Lab’s Energy Testing Protocol.
- Manufactured in an ISO 14001, EU RoHS compliant facility, free from chemicals of concern.
- 60% recycled content in the iron counterweight, contributing to responsible material use.
- 100% recycled polyurethane foam pad, improving packaging sustainability.
* 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
Experience parallel processing
What if there was a single incubator shaker that could handle both screening and production at the same time with a configuration tailored to your needs, increasing your process development speeds and reducing your time to market?
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

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.
Maintaining 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.
