The Smart MCs Orbital Shaker is a precision-engineered instrument designed to deliver reliable, uniform mixing, solving the critical need for consistent agitation in sensitive biological and cultivated meat production processes. This essential laboratory tool ensures gentle yet thorough agitation, which is vital for maintaining cell viability and achieving high experimental reproducibility in cell culture applications. Its core value lies in providing the precise control necessary for optimised media and cell suspension mixing, directly supporting the transition from research-grade protocols to commercial-ready scale-up.
A key differentiator of the Smart MCs Orbital Shaker is its robust construction and quiet operation, engineered for continuous, high-throughput processing environments. The instrument features intuitive, adjustable speed settings and timing functions, allowing for fine-tuned control over the mixing process. This focus on precision and durability ensures the shaker remains a reliable workhorse, distinguishing it from standard laboratory equipment by offering enhanced operational stability and ease of use across diverse scientific disciplines.
The shaker is validated for use with a broad range of mammalian cell types, including those critical to cultivated meat research, such as muscle, fat, and fibroblast cell lines. Its uniform mixing performance has been shown to significantly improve nutrient distribution and gas exchange in chemically defined, serum-free media systems, a prerequisite for successful animal-origin-free cultivated meat production. The reliable performance metrics are supported by a Certificate of Analysis, confirming its suitability for applications requiring high standards of quality control.
Designed for practical usage, the Smart MCs Orbital Shaker features a universal tray that is compatible with diverse laboratory containers, facilitating seamless integration into existing workflows. While not a material component itself, its operational consistency is crucial for maintaining the integrity of food-grade materials and cell lines throughout the R&D phase. The shaker’s capacity for high-throughput processing makes it an ideal choice for laboratories looking to validate and scale up protocols from initial research to pilot-scale production, supporting the entire cultivated meat development pipeline.
