A space-saving marvel

Despite its modest footprint, a triple stacked Multitron can be used for over 60 L of culture or, with its 3 mm shaking throw option conducting 23,000 experiments in parallel. Regardless of the required capacity, the top level of the Multitron is at a comfortable working height of 1,40 m.

The best Multitron of all time

Uncompromising reliability is yet again a hallmark of the Multitron, now in its fourth generation. INFORS HT has been operating on the shaker market for over 50 years, and for the Multitron it has developed the ideal combination of years of experience and new technologies.

Non-invasive online monitoring of biomass in shake flasks

The CGQ by aquila biolabs is a laboratory device for online monitoring of biomass in shake flasks without taking the flasks out of the incubator shaker. The CGQ determines the biomass concentration automatically and non-invasively by a patented optical measurement. Thus, profound microbial growth kinetics of highest precision can be generated.

Seamless monitoring and control

The eve^® bioprocess platform software can easily communicate with the Multitron using Ethernet. Opening up new opportunities for controlling the device and monitoring cultures inside the incubator shaker from anywhere via a web interface. You can also create customized reports and GMP-compliant process documentation.

Compact incubation shaker for every area of application

The Multitron has greatly increased the production capacity of our small lab space. I’ve relied on these shakers for years and couldn’t be happier.

Nicole Lapuyade-Baker - Senior Research Associate CytomX Therapeutics

The best incubator on the market for culturing mammalian suspension cells in a humid, carbon dioxide atmosphere.

Matthew Higgins - Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, UK

I’ve worked with the Multitron Standard in the laboratory for 8 years. My conclusion: nearly maintenance-free, reliable temperature and agitation control and extremely flexible loading.

Dipl. Ing. Biot. MSc (FH) Christian Meier - Managing Director Infors Latam

«The largest capacity for its footprint on the market, reliability and custom configuration options make the Multitron the perfect incubator shaker.»
