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.

Insights into the relative contribution of four precursors to 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol and 3-sulfanylhexylacetate biogenesis during fermentation
This study by researchers from the University of Auckland delves into the complex formation of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3SHA), two essential contributors to white wine aroma. Using isotopically labeled analogues, the team uncovered how non-volatile precursors present in grapes convert to these key aroma compounds during fermentation. This research offers fresh insights into wine chemistry and the role of specific precursors in enhancing desirable wine aromas.

Comprehensive DNA metabarcoding-based detection of non-indigenous invertebrates in recreational marinas through a multi-substrate approach
A study from CBMA-University of Minho highlights the need for diverse sampling strategies in monitoring marine non-indigenous species (NIS). Using five sample types, including hard and artificial substrates, water, and zooplankton, researchers identified 628 species, with five NIS potentially recorded in Portugal for the first time. Discover how this research advances marine biodiversity surveillance.

Rapid identification of reproductive toxicants among environmental chemicals using an in vivo evaluation of gametogenesis in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Researchers from the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), have developed a high-throughput yeast assay to quickly assess the reproductive toxicity of chemicals. This innovative approach tested 179 environmental chemicals, identifying 57 with reproductive effects, and offers a promising alternative to traditional animal testing. Explore how this method could revolutionize chemical safety evaluations.

How clean is your incubator shaker?
Cleaning an incubator shaker sounds trivial, but it is critical for cultivation success. The good news is that doing the right thing is simple, effective, and can easily be integrated into the routine management of a laboratory.

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.

The most loved Multitron features
The Multitron incubator shaker remains uniquely popular since its launch in 1991. The original concept was to offer maximum shake flask capacity whilst occupying minimum space within the laboratory. A number of other new features were launched alongside the Multitron, and since have become firm favourites with users. Some of the best loved capabilities of the Multitron are listed below.
