The New Infors Minitron
An all-round genius in a small space! This is the NEW Infors Minitron
In Vitro Technologies is proud to introduce the NEW Infors Minitron – An all-round genius in a small space. In terms of capacity, the Minitron is the little sister of the Multitron incubation shaker, but it offers the same variety of application possibilities for microbial, animal, and plant cell cultures.
Intelligent use of space
The practical design and compact dimensions of the Minitron make it ideal for use in even the smallest of laboratories. The Minitron can be operated stacked in two units and as a single device, it even fits on a laboratory bench.
The perfect conditions for cultivation
The Minitron offers homogeneous conditions for reproducible results. Thanks to the ingenious design, the precise CO2 regulation works with unparalleled efficiency. The meticulous sealing of the housing minimizes CO2 consumption to a standard comparable to static incubators.
Nothing’s impossible
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 staightforward upgrade if required.
Seamless monitoring and control
The eve® platform software for bioprocesses can easily communicate with the Minitron via Ethernet. This technology gives your the freedom to monitor the cultures in the incubation shaker and control the device from anywhere via web interface. In addition, you can generate individual reports and document your processes in compliance with GMP.
