The INFORS HT Minitron SE (Special Edition) is a compact, fixed-configuration incubator shaker designed for reliable microbial cultivation in research, quality control, biotechnology and teaching laboratories. Built on the same Swiss-engineered platform and drive system as the established Minitron, the Minitron SE provides proven shaking performance in a simplified configuration for laboratories that do not require extensive customisation.
This cooled version operates from 4°C to 65°C, making it suitable for microbial workflows that require controlled temperatures at or below ambient conditions. With a speed range of 20 to 400 rpm, a 25 mm shaking throw and capacity for up to two 5 L Erlenmeyer flasks, the Minitron SE is well suited to routine cultivation of microorganisms including E. coli and yeast.

Designed for Routine Microbial Cultivation
The Minitron SE is designed for laboratories where a dependable, standardised incubator shaker is more important than extensive configuration options. Typical applications include microbial cultivation, E. coli culture, yeast culture, fermentation research and routine microbiology.
It is particularly well suited to academic research groups, industrial quality control laboratories, early-stage biotechnology facilities and teaching laboratories requiring repeatable shaking and temperature control for routine microbial workflows.
Benefits
- Reliable shaking performance: Built on the proven INFORS HT Minitron platform for consistent day-to-day microbial cultivation
- Below-ambient temperature control: Integrated cooling extends the operating range down to 4°C for temperature-sensitive workflows
- Simplified configuration: The fixed specification removes unnecessary configuration decisions for laboratories with standard shaking requirements
- High flask capacity: Supports vessels up to 5 L, providing flexibility for both smaller cultures and larger microbial cultivation volumes
- Efficient use of laboratory space: Two units can be stacked to increase shaking capacity without requiring twice the floor or bench space
- Ready for common applications: Supplied with a Universal N-tray and rubber feet as standard
Why Choose the INFORS HT Minitron SE?
The Minitron SE is an excellent choice for laboratories that need the performance and reliability associated with the INFORS HT Minitron platform without requiring a highly customised incubator shaker. Its combination of cooling, precise shaking control, a 25 mm orbital throw and capacity for large Erlenmeyer flasks makes it a practical solution for routine microbial research and quality control.
