5 Sample Preparation & Processing
New CO2 incubator shaker with 180°C
sterilisation routine
IR hotplate/stirrer delivers superior heating and mixing
The latest infrared heating technology has been used in the design of the WH280-NH hotplate-stirrer from Wiggens. Thanks to this radiation heating technology, the Wiggens WH280-NH can be used for rapid heating up of various shaped vessels, including round-bottom flasks, and the solution inside can be heated up to a maximum of 450°C in a very short time.
The new Wiggens hotplate stirrer enjoys the benefits of a Schott glass ceramic surface with exceptional chemical resistance, a high surface quality, and a resistance to temperature shocks of more than 700°C, providing users with an optimal solution compared to conventional heating surface materials. The poreless smooth surface enables even the most stubborn dirt to be easily cleaned. The high infrared permeability ensures that the heating energy is transferred quickly and with very limited loss, therefore, it heats liquids fast and saves time and energy. Preseting 3 sets of PID for different volume heating applications enables self-optimising to reach perfect temperature stability.. If the Pt-100 sensor is connected, temperature-controlled work with stability of +/- 2°C can be reached in most applications.
In addition to rapid heating capability and superior temperature control, the WH280-NH also offers well controlled gentle to intense mixing of liquids, and is also suitable for large volume viscous media. The stirring and heating can be controlled separately by convenient turning knobs. All functions can be viewed and monitored on a bright touch screen, including most frequently used parameters, such as, working temperature, stirring speed, working time, and safety temperature. Memory function for stirring speed and temperature setting makes it convenient to start the experiments with fixed conditions. A residual-heat display protects the users from burning their hands.
Eppendorf has unveiled the CellXpert®
CS220, the first CO2 incubator shaker on the market equipped with an integrated 180°C sterilisation routine. This innovative solution is designed to enhance the production of complex recombinant proteins, viral vectors in mammalian cells, and bioreactor starter cultures, which typically rely on shake flask cultures.
Maria Mattern, who leads innovations in
Eppendorf’s shaker and CO2 incubator portfolio, emphasised that the CellXpert® CS220 addresses the pressing need for improved contamination prevention in the industry. “Our new product was specifically developed to expedite mammalian shake flask culture projects while adhering to higher contamination prevention standards,” she stated.
Unlike existing CO2 incubator shakers, which are primarily microbiological shakers with
optional CO2 control, the CellXpert® CS220 has superior cleanability and sterilisation
capabilities. “Most devices currently on the market fall short in addressing contamination risks, particularly viruses and Mycoplasma, which can significantly affect project timelines and budgets,” Mattern noted.
Manufactured in Hamburg, Germany, the CellXpert® CS220 is the first device to implement established contamination
protection standards for CO2 incubator-based cell cultivation, featuring a 180°C sterilisation process. It simplifies disinfection thanks to its design, which eliminates drive wheels, cover sheets, cables, and heating fins from the stainless-steel chamber. Additionally, the CellXpert® CS220 offers up to 40% higher flask capacity and the highest platform size- to-footprint ratio available.
“We are excited to introduce this latest addition to our CellXpert family, further enhancing our comprehensive cell culture
portfolio that includes CO2 incubators, shakers, high-speed centrifuges, and bioprocess equipment,” said Mattern.
