Caron Scientific has launched its innovative 7406 Incubator Shaker at the EU Advanced Therapies conference, setting a new benchmark for cell culture technology. The vertical design combines high capacity with a compact footprint, optimizing valuable lab space while maintaining uniform conditions across all chamber levels. This advancement addresses critical challenges in biopharmaceutical production and research environments.
The 7406 introduces a revolutionary dry H₂O₂ sterilization system that eliminates contamination risks without the drawbacks of traditional methods. Unlike conventional approaches that require empty chambers or create condensation, Caron’s patented technology precisely controls vapor levels through continuous sensor monitoring. This breakthrough allows immediate post-sterilization use, dramatically improving workflow efficiency in GMP manufacturing settings.
“Failed production runs due to contamination can cost companies millions in fines and downtime,” explained Jay Abramo, Caron’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Our dry sterilization process maintains humidity below saturation levels, removing both contamination risks and the standing water issues that plague conventional systems.” The company is the first to integrate hydrogen peroxide sterilization directly into incubator shakers.
With 38 years of environmental control expertise, Caron Scientific designed the 7406 specifically for modern biotech demands. The system supports critical applications in cell therapy development and advanced biologics manufacturing, where contamination control directly impacts regulatory compliance and product quality. Its automation-ready features further enhance reproducibility in high-throughput environments.
The launch reinforces Caron’s position as an industry leader in precision environmental equipment. By combining space efficiency with groundbreaking sterilization technology, the 7406 Incubator Shaker provides researchers and manufacturers with unprecedented control over their cell culture processes, potentially transforming standards in therapeutic development and production.
