<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<h2>Designed for Routine Microbial Cultivation</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reliable shaking performance:</strong> Built on the proven INFORS HT Minitron platform for consistent day-to-day microbial cultivation</li>
<li><strong>Below-ambient temperature control:</strong> Integrated cooling extends the operating range down to 4°C for temperature-sensitive workflows</li>
<li><strong>Simplified configuration:</strong> The fixed specification removes unnecessary configuration decisions for laboratories with standard shaking requirements</li>
<li><strong>High flask capacity:</strong> Supports vessels up to 5 L, providing flexibility for both smaller cultures and larger microbial cultivation volumes</li>
<li><strong>Efficient use of laboratory space:</strong> Two units can be stacked to increase shaking capacity without requiring twice the floor or bench space</li>
<li><strong>Ready for common applications:</strong> Supplied with a Universal N-tray and rubber feet as standard</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Choose the INFORS HT Minitron SE?</h2>
<p>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.
