IKA, MS 3 basic, circular shaker, 0–3,000 rpm, compact vortex mixer, 0003617000

The compact all-rounder for any laboratory

The IKA MS 3 basic is a versatile, compact circular shaker that impresses with its versatility and robust construction. It has been specially developed for shaking small vessels and microtitre plates, and thanks to its compact footprint, it fits on any laboratory bench, no matter how crowded. Whether for brief mixing in touch mode or for longer shaking tasks in continuous operation – thanks to its high speed stability, the MS 3 basic delivers excellent mixing results in day-to-day routine work.

Versatility through an intelligent attachment system

What sets the MS 3 basic apart from conventional vortex mixers is its enormous flexibility. Thanks to a wide range of optional attachments, not only individual test tubes but also several vessels at once, or even microtitre plates (MTPs), can be mixed. The device features integrated attachment recognition, which ensures that the maximum speed is automatically adjusted to suit the attachment being used. This protects your samples from excessive mechanical stress and extends the service life of the device.

Stability and intuitive operation

Despite its compact size, the shaker offers excellent stability thanks to its die-cast zinc housing. Operation is extremely simple via a rotary knob for stepless speed adjustment from 0 to 3000 rpm. Users can flexibly choose between two operating modes: the practical touch mode, which is activated by lightly pressing the attachment, or continuous operation for time-consuming mixing processes. With the MS 3 basic, you are investing in a durable and reliable partner for your sample preparation.
