Product information "IKA dispersing tool S 50 N - G 45 G - ST, sawtooth design, 0008039500"
The IKA S 50 N - G 45 G - ST dispersing tool is a dispersing tool for the comminution, homogenisation and suspension of demanding sample media on a laboratory and pilot-plant scale. This precision-manufactured rotor-stator system has been specifically designed for use with the high-performance IKA dispersing drives of the ULTRA-TURRAX T 50 series. In complex processes within the pharmaceutical processing industry, food analysis, biotechnology or pulp research, the disruption of tough, fibrous or elastic sample structures is the primary criterion for producing homogeneous suspensions in a gentle and time-efficient manner for subsequent analytical steps.
Fluid-mechanical comminution via sawtooth geometry
The process-engineering heart of the tool is the generator in a special ST (Saw Tooth) design. The distinctive geometry of the saw teeth on the rotor and stator generates extremely high mechanical impact, cutting and shear forces in the transient shear gap. These mechanical kinetics are ideally designed to cut and disintegrate fibrous matrices (such as tissue structures, plant parts, tobacco, paper and wood pulps, as well as tough plastics or viscous emulsions) in a flash. Uncontrolled wrapping of fibres around the shaft is prevented by the flow-optimised tooth arrangement, ensuring gentle handling of the material and process reliability.
Materials and sterilisability
The dispersing rod is designed for chemical resistance. All functional elements in contact with the medium are made of stainless steel grade 1.4404 (AISI 316L). The shaft is supported by an extremely low-friction and wear-resistant PTFE bearing system. This combination of materials allows for continuous use in aggressive acids, alkalis and organic solvents. To support a sterile sampling environment and to reduce the risk of cross-contamination in multi-user operation, the entire tool can be easily sterilised in an autoclave or cleaned gently with standard disinfectants.
Process reliability and convenient system integration
The mechatronic system architecture enables safe and vibration-free power transmission even at maximum speeds of up to 10,000 revolutions per minute. The dispersing shaft can be secured quickly and without tools in the T 50 digital drive via the standardised connection. Thanks to the generous immersion depth of up to 250 mm and the fluid-mechanical geometry, the tool is designed for a wide working volume ranging from 0.5 to 20 litres (based on water). This offers laboratory managers and industrial users maximum flexibility when scaling up processes from research to pilot plant scale.

- 1 x Operating instructions
Important note: The required dispersing drive (e.g. IKA ULTRA-TURRAX T 50 digital), stand fixtures, boss heads and sample vessels are not included in the standard scope of delivery and must be configured separately.
Individual requirements & accessories
To get the most out of the IKA S 50 N - G 45 G - ST tool, we recommend using it with the original ULTRA-TURRAX T 50 digital dispersing drive. For a safe and vibration-free setup at your laboratory workstation, our range includes suitable telescopic stands (R 2722 or R 2723), robust boss heads (R 271) and practical vessel holders (RH 5). Should you wish to process samples requiring finer final homogenisation, we also offer alternative IKA generator heads with medium (M) or fine (F) toothing. For the regular replacement of wear parts, we offer original PTFE replacement bearings. Please use our technical procurement service to put together your complete homogenisation system.
