Caron Scientific's Innovative Launch: The 7406 Incubator Shaker
On March 18, 2025, Caron Scientific, Inc. showcased its new creation, the
7406 Incubator Shaker, at the EU Advanced Therapies conference in Marietta, Ohio. As a leader in providing sophisticated equipment for environmental testing, incubation, and controlled environments, Caron continues to set industry standards with this latest offering.
The
7406 Incubator Shaker boasts the distinction of being the highest capacity single chamber incubator shaker available, all while maintaining an impressively small footprint ideal for various laboratory settings. This vertical design not only conserves valuable lab space but also ensures uniform conditions throughout every level of the unit, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and productivity.
One of the standout features of the 7406 is its innovative approach to sterilization. Traditional incubators face contamination challenges and often resort to lengthy decontamination processes. These typically involve high-heat cycles that necessitate the chamber to be empty or a wet hydrogen peroxide vapor cycle, which risks condensation build-up within the incubator. In contrast, Caron Scientific has developed a pioneering
dry hydrogen peroxide fogging sterilization technology. This unique method effectively prevents condensation while maintaining optimal humidity levels.
Equipped with a humidity sensor that continuously monitors vapor concentration, the 7406 employs electronic control systems to precisely regulate injections of the sterilizing vapor. As Jay Abramo, Chief Commercial Officer of Caron Scientific, explains, “Ensuring successful suspension cell culture production runs is critical for our customers.” The new incubator shaker achieves just that, enabling laboratories to resume operations immediately post sterilization, thereby alleviating the downtime typically associated with conventional methods.
This advancement not only simplifies laboratory workflows but also acts as a safeguard against contamination, thereby helping clients avoid potential fines from regulatory bodies and reducing unexpected downtime.
Unlike traditional incubator shakers, Caron’s ingenious humidity control system operates without standing water, addressing a significant challenge in good manufacturing practice (GMP) environments. This feature places the 7406 far ahead of its competitors in the realm of laboratory equipment.
With the introduction of the
7406 Incubator Shaker, Caron Scientific reaffirms its commitment to improving laboratory efficiency and ensuring a contamination-free working environment. The combination of its in-unit sterilization capabilities and compact design provides laboratories the confidence needed to handle sensitive cell culture processes effectively.
