An all-around genius in a small space

Minitron

An all-round genius in a small space. In terms of capacity, the Minitron is the little sister of the Multitron incubator shaker, but it offers the same variety of application possibilities for microbial, animal, and plant cell cultures.

From standard experiments with microorganisms to complex cultivations of animal and plant cells, the Minitron has been designed to perform a comprehensive range of applications. Each Minitron is configured to you exact needs whilst the design ensures for a straightforward upgrade if required.

Minitron
Compact incubation shaker for every area of application

Low CO2-consumption

The Minitron offers homogeneous conditions for reproducible results. The meticulous sealing of the housing minimizes CO2 consumption to a standard comparable to static incubators.

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.

Two-tier stacking option and small dimensions

The practical design and compact dimensions of the incubator shaker make it ideal for use in even the smallest of laboratories. It can be operated stacked in two units and as a single device, it even fits on a laboratory bench.

Clean and safe

Cleanliness and safety are essential components of lab work, which is why our shakers have been optimized for hygiene. Rounded corners and smooth surfaces make the interior easy to clean thoroughly.
