Do you have an unconventional or unique shaking vessel? Send us a prototype of your vessel and we will develop a suitable clamp. Would you prefer to combine your measuring system with one of our shakers? Do you require a shaking machine with an unconventional feature? We can adapt our shakers to fit your needs.
Do you want to monitor cell cultivations online during screening experi-ments? – Use the automated real-time imaging platform developed by Kuhner Atelier
Customized high-throughput imaging platform based on a modified Kuhner shaking incubator for real-time analysis of plant cell cultures. Featuring precise tray positioning, integrated vision technology and application-specific illumination for reliable operation under demanding environmental conditions.
Together with Food Brewer AG, the Kuhner Atelier developed a customized imaging platform for the automated real-time analysis of cocoa plant cell cultures. Based on a modified Kuhner ISF1-Z incubator shaker, the system combines precise shaking technology with an integrated camera and optimized illumination for high-resolution monitoring of cell cultures in microtiter plates. The platform enables reliable analysis of key culture parameters such as cell size, morphology, and viability during screening experiments.
The result is a powerful custom-made high-throughput solution combining incubation, shaking, and advanced imaging in one integrated platform. This significantly reduces manual workload for the Food Brewer team and ensures consistent conditions across experiments — resulting in better, more comparable data with less hands-on effort.
Originally developed for cocoa plant cell cultures, the platform can easily be adapted for a wide range of biological and industrial applications.
Do you need reliable robotic handling of microtiter plates and tubes inside your incubator shaker? – Apply the pin table and custom basket system for robotic workflows by Kuhner Atelier
Customized pin table and 3D-printed basket system enabling automated handling of microtiter plates and bioreactor tubes inside Kuhner's ISF1-Z incubator shaker. Developed for high-throughput robotic workflows with precise positioning and flexible vessel compatibility.
The Kuhner Atelier developed a customized automation solution for the Kuhner ISF1-Z incubator shaker, enabling seamless integration into robotic laboratory workflows. At the core of the system is a newly engineered shaking table with pins combined with application-specific 3D-printed baskets for automated handling of microtiter plates and bioreactor tubes.
Key features of the system include:
The system was designed for customers requiring high-throughput cultivation with different or non-standard vessel formats. It represents a cost-effective solution for laboratory automation while providing precise and reliable cultivation performance. Designed as a flexible platform, the system can easily be adapted for additional vessel types and customer-specific automation requirements.
Do you want to optimize your screening conditions in microtiter plates? – Apply MTP caps for online process monitoring with Kuhner TOM
Customized MTP cap system extending Kuhner TOM to microtiter plates for real-time monitoring of growth and respiration activity during shaken cultivations. Designed for flexible early-stage process characterization across multiple plate formats.
The Kuhner Atelier developed MTP Caps to extend the capabilities of Kuhner TOM for online monitoring of the respiration activity in microtiter plate cultivations. Designed for early-stage process characterization and optimization, the system enables real-time measurement of the cultures' respiration activity (oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and carbon dioxide transfer rate (CTR)) directly in shaken microtiter plates.
Two customized cap variants were developed: a Deepwell Cap for 96-, 48- and 24-deepwell plates (the average OTR and CTR is measured over all wells) and an Ultradeepwell Cap for 6-well plates (with individual aeration and monitoring of each well).
The MTP Caps expand the customer’s application range of their Kuhner TOM system. Now, it’s possible to perform online monitoring in subsequent process development steps in microtiter plate and shake flask cultivations. This enables a faster and more coherent bioprocess development.
Do you need to thaw frozen cultivation broth without compromising enzyme activity or product quality? Apply the SBM Shaker by Kuhner Atelier for controlled thawing of cultivation broth
Customized mobile shaking solution based on a modified Kuhner SBM shaker for the gentle, controlled thawing of previously frozen cultivation broth — preserving enzyme quality while bridging the wait for downstream resources.
Together with our customer, the Kuhner Atelier developed a tailored version of the SBM shaker designed specifically for thawing frozen cultivation broth without compromising sensitive enzymes. To protect product quality during the thawing process in a big thermal constant room, the unit was equipped with solid walls and a transparent door, allowing full visual monitoring while maintaining stable internal conditions.
To simplify handling, all four shaker levels can be tilted, enabling the thawed liquid to be drained and collected quickly and efficiently. This reduces manual effort and supports a smooth transfer to downstream processing.
The entire unit was designed for maximum flexibility and mobility. Integrated wheels can be lowered to reposition the shaker wherever it is needed and retracted to securely lock the unit in place during operation. For enhanced operational safety, an additional emergency stop function was implemented, allowing all four shaker levels to be stopped simultaneously.
The result is a flexible and easy-to-handle solution that helps preserve enzyme quality while giving the customer full control over the thawing process. By combining gentle agitation, visual process monitoring, simplified liquid recovery, and complete mobility in a single unit, the system reduces handling effort and protects valuable biological material – exactly when downstream capacity becomes available.
Originally developed for thawing cultivation broth, the concept can easily be adapted to a wide range of biological and industrial applications.
Do you need to safely homogenize large volumes of reagents before use in your industrial process? – The SR200-X by Kuhner Atelier delivers orbital shaking at industrial scale
Customized large-volume shaking unit developed by Kuhner Atelier for safe, reproducible homogenization of up to 200 kg or 200 L of reagent. Designed for industrial process preparation with flexible container compatibility.
The Kuhner Atelier adapted Kuhner’s SR200-X industrial shaker platform to address a critical step in industrial process preparation: the safe and reproducible homogenization of large reagent volumes prior to use. Many reagents tend to precipitate or sediment during static storage, making thorough mixing essential to ensure consistent process yields.
The SR200-X by Kuhner Atelier is an orbital shaking unit purpose-built for industrial environments, capable of handling loads of up to 200 kg or 200 L. Three key design features make it suitable for demanding production settings: a reinforced platform engineered to withstand large shaking loads, a custom-made holder tailored to the customer's specific container, and an elevated platform designed to allow forklift access for safe and efficient loading and unloading.
As a fully customized solution, the holder can be adapted to a wide range of vessels and support structures, the Kuhner Atelier team will work with your requirements to find the right configuration
