IKA KS 130 control NOL Orbital Shaker without End-point Positioning, 80 to 800 rpm, 2 kg, 0004278200

Product information "IKA KS 130 control NOL Orbital Shaker without End-point Positioning, 80 to 800 rpm, 2 kg, 0004278200"

Not every shaking station is connected to a sample robot. Those who simply wish to mix do not require end-point positioning and will opt for the IKA KS 130 control NOL, the orbital shaker without this feature. Technically, it is otherwise very similar to the KS 130 control: 230 x 230 mm platform, 4 mm shaking stroke, 2.0 kg shaking weight including the attachment. IKA describes the design as compact and low-profile, with a height of 98 mm.

How to operate it

Speed and time are set electronically. The speed ranges from 80 to 800 rpm; both values are shown on LED displays. The timer covers 1 to 5,999 minutes, equivalent to 99 hours and 59 minutes, after which the unit switches off. Without a set time, it runs continuously; the permissible duty cycle is 100 %. According to IKA, the 4.0 mm stroke ensures uniform mixing.

Control and logging

The unit can be controlled externally via the RS-232 interface; the analogue output provides the speed as a voltage value. Runs are documented using labworldsoft; the software is available in Lite, Starter and Pro versions and must be ordered separately.

Typical applications

  • Gentle mixing of samples in vessels of various sizes and shapes
  • Operations with a shaking load of up to 2.0 kg, including the attachment
  • Time-controlled shaking for up to 99 hours and 59 minutes or in continuous operation
  • Documented runs via RS 232 and labworldsoft
  • Space-saving mixing on the laboratory bench with dimensions of 270 x 98 x 316 mm

With or without end-point positioning

On the KS 130 control, the speed range, stroke, shaking weight, dimensions and weight are identical; in addition, end-point positioning for robot-controlled sampling is built in. For larger vessels, there is the KS 260 control NOL with a shaking weight of 7.5 kg and a stroke of 10 mm, also without end-point positioning. Those wishing to move small loads at very high speeds should consider the VXR basic Vibrax with up to 2,200 rpm.

Warranty and disposal

IKA manufacturer’s warranty: 2 years; extended to 3 years upon registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase. As an electrical appliance, the KS 130 control NOL must be disposed of via the separate collection scheme for end-of-life electrical equipment at the end of its useful life.

Individual requirements and procurement service

IKA offers the following accessories for the vessels: the universal attachment AS 130.1, the dish attachment AS 130.3, the test tube attachment AS 130.4 and the clamp holder AS 130.2 with clamps for 10 to 500 ml. The base mount AS 1.30, clamping roller AS 1.31, STICKMAX and an adjustable tube rack complete the range. Power cables are available with Euro, UK, Swiss and US plugs, along with factory calibration certificates and IQ/OQ documentation. We’ll put together the right combination for your vessels; find out more in the procurement service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ‘NOL’ in the name mean?
The unit is the orbital shaker without end-point positioning. The KS 130 control with end-point positioning is a separate model.

What is the maximum load capacity of the platform?
The maximum permissible load is 2.0 kg, including the attachment.

Do I need to order attachments separately?
Yes, they are not included in the Scope of delivery.

How long is the warranty valid for?
IKA’s manufacturer’s warranty is 2 years; this is extended to 3 years if you register at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.
