IKA MultiDrive MT 150.5 grinding beakers, autoclavable, 5 pieces, 0020023173

Product information "IKA MultiDrive MT 150.5 grinding beakers, autoclavable, 5 pieces, 0020023173"

Kinetics of impact comminution in a closed system

In the analytical sample preparation of hard, brittle or dry matrices (such as rocks, seeds, tablets or mineral solids), the application of substantial mechanical energy is essential. The IKA MultiDrive MT 150.5 grinding jar operates according to the process engineering principle of high-speed impact and percussion comminution. A solid stainless-steel beater is permanently integrated at the geometric centre of the 150-ml chamber. Driven by the MultiDrive base station at speeds of up to 30,000 revolutions per minute, this tool transfers immense kinetic energy to the solids. The resulting shock waves shatter the macroscopic lattice structures of the sample in fractions of a millisecond, transforming them into an analytically homogeneous, fine-powdered matrix.

Polymer physics and thermomechanical integrity

The high-speed comminution of hard samples induces significant thermodynamic stress (exothermic reaction) on the vessel wall through friction and micro-collisions. The MT 150.5 grinding jars are manufactured from high-performance thermoplastic polymers that exhibit extreme torsional rigidity and structural stability. Unlike conventional single-use tubes, this specific plastic matrix is cross-linked in such a way that it withstands repeated thermal stress. This enables complete thermal sterilisation of the entire grinding chamber (including the integrated stainless-steel rotor) in an autoclave at 121 °C and elevated steam pressure, without the material undergoing plastic deformation or losing its ballistic impact resistance.

Aerosol containment and prevention of carry-over

When grinding toxic, biohazardous or highly potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), preventing uncontrolled aerosol formation is an absolute safety priority. The MT 150 grinding beaker functions as a hermetically sealed containment system. The grinding process takes place in a completely isolated atmosphere, thereby physically protecting the user from respirable fine dust. The option of validated autoclaving of the reusable vessel also guarantees that analytical cross-contamination (carry-over of DNA/RNA fragments or chemical residues) between consecutive batches is physically ruled out on a metrological scale.

Customised requirements & accessories

The MT 150.5 grinding jars are designed for reusable applications; however, during continuous grinding of abrasive materials (such as quartz sand or ores), they are subject to tribological wear on the polymer inner wall and the stainless steel rotor. For highly temperature-sensitive samples, where process-induced frictional heat could lead to denaturation, we strongly recommend using them in combination with the IKA MultiDrive TC 1 protective housing (item no. 0020023489). This housing enables direct cryogenic cooling of the grinding beaker with dry ice throughout the entire grinding process. Please contact our procurement service at any time for the thermodynamic design of your grinding processes.

IKA MultiDrive control universal grinder, drive unit with scales & RFID, 0025002643
Manufacturer number: 0025002643

The all-rounder for the Laboratory 4.0: IKA MultiDrive control The IKA MultiDrive control (MPN 0025002643) is far more than just a mill. It is a technological platform for a wide variety of grinding and mixing tasks. Whether you need to crush hard samples, cut fibrous material or homogenise soft substances – this device adapts to any challenge thanks to its unique interchangeable vessel system. The “control” version stands out from the crowd thanks to intelligent features such as an integrated scale, RFID recognition and a brilliant TFT display, setting new standards in terms of process reliability and ease of use. Versatility thanks to the “MultiDrive” concept The name says it all: one drive (“Drive”) for countless applications (“Multi”). The separately available vessels transform the unit in a matter of seconds: Grinding beaker (MI 250 / MI 400): For classic dry grinding of hard and brittle materials. Mixing beaker (MT 150): With special blades for soft, fibrous or elastic samples (including wet ones). Dispersion jars (BT 250): Transforms the mill into a disperser for the production of emulsions or suspensions. Tube Mill beaker: Thanks to an adapter, even the tried-and-tested disposable beakers from the Tube Mill can be used. Integrated weighing function: Precision without detours A real highlight of the MultiDrive control is the integrated scale. In conventional workflows, samples must be weighed, transferred and then ground separately. This often results in material loss or contamination. With the MultiDrive control, you weigh directly into the attached grinding beaker. The display shows the weight precisely. Thanks to the tare function, you can also prepare complex mixtures directly in the beaker without having to remove the vessel. This saves time, reduces cleaning effort and prevents transfer losses of expensive substances. Smart process control with RFID and TFT In modern laboratories, error prevention is crucial. Thanks to the integrated RFID technology, the base unit automatically recognises which vessel has been fitted. The system then adjusts the parameters accordingly: Speed limit: A dispersion vessel must not rotate as fast as a grinding beaker – the device regulates this automatically. Safety functions: Specific settings are enabled. The large, easy-to-read TFT display allows for intuitive navigation. Here, you can not only set the speed and time, but also activate interval operation (ideal for better mixing) or set temperature limits (when used with temperature-sensitive vessels). Temperature measurement and cooling Heat is the enemy of many samples. The MultiDrive control, when used in combination with the appropriate vessels (e.g. MI 250 T or MT 150), offers integrated temperature measurement. The sensor in the beaker transmits the actual temperature wirelessly to the display. You can define a safety shut-off: ‘Stop the process when 40 °C is reached’. This effectively prevents the degradation of heat-sensitive constituents. For even more demanding tasks, the system supports actively cooled grinding beakers (double-walled for water cooling) or the use of dry ice for embrittlement directly in the grinding chamber. Plenty of power: 1,000 watts The brushless motor is maintenance-free and extremely powerful. With a power consumption of 1,000 watts and speeds ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 min⁻¹, it can handle even the toughest materials. Despite this power, the unit starts up quietly and gently on the material thanks to frequency converter technology. Easy cleaning and safety Cleaning is incredibly simple, as the unit itself (‘Easy Clean Design’) has virtually no nooks where dirt can accumulate, and the grinding cups (available separately) can usually be completely dismantled and are either dishwasher-safe or autoclavable. In terms of safety, the unit meets the highest standards: an electronic brake brings the tool to a halt in a flash when the housing is opened. Operation is only possible when the protective housing is closed. Connectivity and documentation The device can be seamlessly integrated into the laboratory IT system via the USB and Bluetooth interfaces. With the labworldsoft ® software (optional), you can create grinding programmes, control the device remotely and comprehensively document all process data (speed, time, temperature, weight).

IKA MultiDrive control BT Package, Nassproben-Einweggefäß, Waage & TFT
IKA MultiDrive control BT Package, 0010007086
Manufacturer number: 0010007086

To grind wet, moist or pasty samples without leaving residues in the grinding vessel between batches: this is what the IKA MultiDrive control BT Package is designed for. The package combines the MultiDrive control drive, featuring a TFT display and integrated weighing function, with the autoclavable single-use BT 250 vessel, which is fitted with a four-blade cross-beater and flow breaker. An RFID chip in the base of the vessel automatically records and limits its service life, ensuring that each grinding run is confined to a fresh vessel; this prevents any subsequent reuse beyond the intended service life.BT 250: Disposable vessel for wet samplesThe BT 250.5 mixing vessel is made of autoclavable plastic and is operated exclusively in conjunction with the supplied TC 1 protective housing, which ensures safety during grinding. Five replacement seals are included to ensure that a vessel remains leak-proof over several uses before a new one needs to be ordered. The standardised mounting allows additional vessels from the MultiDrive range to be used, such as grinding chambers for dry material or dispersion vessels with temperature measurement; however, these are not included in the Scope of delivery of this package.Weighing function, TFT display and temperature measurementThe mixing beaker can be weighed directly on the drive; a weighing range of 5 to 4,000 g with a resolution of 1 g covers most laboratory balances without the need to transfer the sample. Temperature measurement from -50 to 120 °C with an accuracy of ±1 K monitors the material being ground during operation. The TFT display clearly shows all values; a WPAN interface and a micro-USB socket connect the unit to a computer for documentation and remote control. With a power consumption of 1,000 watts and a speed range of 3,000 to 20,000 rpm, the drive is designed for coarse to fine grinding; intermittent operation can be activated via a button.Typical applicationsThe BT Package is suitable for laboratories that regularly process different moist sample matrices and must prevent any carry-over between batches.Grinding of moist, wet or pasty samples without cross-contaminationWeighing and grinding in the same vessel, without the need for decantingTemperature-controlled homogenisation of sensitive samplesPreliminary to fine grinding with variable speed up to 20,000 rpmTechnical detailsMotor power input / output1,000 W / 800 WSpeed range3,000 to 20,000 rpm, deviation ±5 %DisplayTFT, with RFID read/write unitWeighing range5 to 4,000 g, resolution 1 g, accuracy ±(0.3% + 2) gTemperature measurement-50 to 120 °C, resolution 0.1 K, accuracy ±1 KDuty cycle ON / OFF5 min / 10 minInterfacesMicro-USB, WPANPermissible ambient conditions5 to 40 °C, max. 80% relative humidityConnected load specifications220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 1000 W (100 to 120 V / 100 to 115 V variants available)Protection classIP 31 (DIN EN 60529)Dimensions W x H x D300 x 350 x 250 mmWeight8.5 kgScope of delivery1 x IKA MultiDrive control drive unit1 x MultiDrive TC 1 protective housing for MT 150 and BT 2501 x MultiDrive BT 250.5 mixing beaker, autoclavable5 x replacement seals for the mixing bowlAt the end of its service life, this electrical appliance must be disposed of via the separate collection scheme for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and must not be placed in household waste.Individual requirements and procurement serviceFor dry samples, the IKA MultiDrive control MT Package with the MT 150 grinding vessel is the more suitable choice; technically, the drive is identical.
