Shakers

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.

The idea of using our own cells to produce antibodies essential for survival no longer belongs to science fiction. Although it has been the focus of researchers for decades, the direct use of messenger RNA encoding antibodies has received recent market approval due to the urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, this platform technology is revolutionizing the way we think about biopharmaceutical production and has great potential for further applications. In the following article, you will learn about the key aspects of the application, production and use of mRNA, the software of life.

Using laboratory shakers in CO2 incubators has become a standard in many labs. However, for a successful outcome there are a couple of key factors that everyone should be aware of.

Monoclonal antibodies have been used for testing kits and medical therapies across a wide range of applications. The most recent is to provide a potential treatment for patients suffering from Covid-19 infection. The production of monoclonal antibodies is well understood, scalable and standardized to the extent that it makes a good generic example of a modern bioprocess. This aspect will be the focus of this short overview. 

Buying a new incubator shaker may seem like a simple job. You could select the same model again, the cheapest version, or the shaker with the fastest delivery time. Nothing to worry about as it’s a simple standard product, so anything will do the job. However, this approach leaves out a vital factor – what quality of results can you expect at the other end of your bioprocess?
