Product information "IKA MultiDrive TS 1 replacement seals with unlock code, for MT 150.5 / BT 250.5, 0020023490"

Digital monitoring and extending the service life of grinding vessels

In modern sample preparation, the mechanical integrity of grinding and mixing vessels is a critical safety factor. When autoclavable plastic vessels such as the IKA MultiDrive MT 150.5 or BT 250.5 are operated at extreme speeds of up to 20,000 revolutions per minute, the integrated seals are subjected to immense physical and thermal stress. To reduce unnoticed material wear, leaks or even mechanical failure of the vessels during operation, these special IKA tubes communicate continuously with the drive unit via an integrated RFID chip. According to IKA, the mill records the duration of use and, via software, locks the tube as soon as the seal’s service life has been exceeded. It is precisely at this process-critical interface that the IKA MultiDrive TS 1 seal set comes into play. With these five replacement seals and the essential unlock code, you can transform tubes that have been disabled by the software back into operational laboratory tools.

The principle of the reactivation code: process reliability

The reactivation code included in the scope of delivery is a component of occupational safety. If you manually replace the mechanically worn seal of an MT 150.5 grinding tube (dry grinding) or a BT 250.5 mixing tube (wet grinding), the IKA MultiDrive control drive unit does not automatically register this physical maintenance step. Only by entering the enclosed unlock code into the system is the internal RFID usage counter for that specific tube reset to zero. This digital handshake reports to both the system and the user that a new, unused seal has been installed, which is intended to withstand the hydrodynamic pressures and shear forces of the next analysis cycle again.

Reduction of cross-contamination and aerosol formation

In addition to purely mechanical safety, regular seal replacement plays a key analytical role. Residues of DNA, proteins or analytes from the previous sample can become embedded in the abrasion of aged sealing rings. By consistently replacing the TS 1 seals, the seal of the sample is restored and the risk of cross-contamination (carry-over) between different sample batches is reduced. The intact sealing system also protects laboratory staff, as it reduces the escape of fine, respirable aerosols during the vigorous dry grinding of brittle materials.

Reduction in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Investing in the TS 1 replacement seal set is a cost-effective decision for laboratories with high sample throughput. Instead of disposing of the entire tube as costly plastic waste once its software-defined service life has expired, you simply replace the specific wear part. This extends the service life of the expensive MT 150.5 and BT 250.5 vessels, reduces your laboratory’s plastic waste and can lower the running costs (Total Cost of Ownership) for the IKA MultiDrive system.

Individual requirements & accessories

Please note that you only need this item if you are already using the reusable MT 150.5 or BT 250.5 plastic tubes and your drive unit is displaying an expired RFID counter. For extremely hard, brittle or temperature-sensitive samples that cannot be processed in plastic vessels, we recommend switching to the solid stainless steel grinding chambers of the IKA MI series (e.g. MI 250 S), which have no software-imposed service life limit. Our technical procurement service will be happy to advise you on optimising your sample preparation workflows.

IKA MultiDrive control Universal Mill, drive unit with scales & RFID, 0025002643
IKA MultiDrive control Universal Mill, drive unit with scales & RFID, 0025002643
Manufacturer number: 0025002643

IKA MultiDrive control: drive unit for grinding, mixing and dispersing The IKA MultiDrive control (MPN 0025002643) is a drive for grinding and mixing tasks. Whether you need to crush hard samples, cut fibrous material or homogenise soft substances, this device can be adapted to the task at hand thanks to its interchangeable vessel system. The “control” version offers an integrated scale, RFID recognition and a TFT display. Versatility thanks to the “MultiDrive” concept The name says it all: one drive (“Drive”) for many applications (“Multi”). The separately available vessels transform the unit depending on the task: Grinding chamber (MI 250 / MI 400): For classic dry grinding of hard and brittle materials. Grinding cup (MT 150): Autoclavable plastic grinding cup, 150 ml. Mixing cup (BT 250): Autoclavable plastic mixing cup, 250 ml. Mixing vessel (BL): For wet grinding. Dispersing vessel (DI): With rotor-stator system for dispersing. Tube Mill cup: Thanks to an adapter, even the tried-and-tested disposable cups of the Tube Mill can be used. Integrated weighing function: Precision without detours The MultiDrive control has an 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 fitted grinding cup. The display shows the weight. Thanks to the tare function, you can also prepare complex mixtures directly in the beaker without having to remove the vessel. This can save time and cleaning effort and reduces transfer losses of expensive substances. 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 cup. 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 (for better mixing) or set temperature limits (when used with temperature-sensitive vessels). Temperature measurement and cooling The MultiDrive control, when used in combination with the appropriate vessels (e.g. MI 250-T-S), offers integrated temperature measurement. The sensor in the cup transmits the actual temperature wirelessly to the display. You can define a safety shut-off: ‘Stop the process when 40 °C is reached’. This helps to limit the degradation of heat-sensitive constituents. For even more demanding tasks, the system supports actively coolable grinding cups (double-walled for water cooling) or the use of dry ice for embrittlement directly in the grinding chamber. Motor: 1,000 watts The motor is brushless. With a power consumption of 1,000 watts and speeds ranging from 3,000 to 20,000 rpm, it can also process hard materials. Despite this power, the unit starts up smoothly thanks to frequency converter technology. Easy cleaning and safety Cleaning is 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 is fitted with an electronic brake that stops the tool when the housing is opened. Operation is only possible when the protective housing is closed. Connectivity and documentation The device can be integrated into the laboratory IT system via the USB and Bluetooth interfaces. With the labworldsoft® software (optional), you can create grinding programs, control the device remotely and document all process data (speed, time, temperature, weight).

IKA MultiDrive control BT Package, wet-sample single-use vessel, scale & TFT, 0010007086
Manufacturer number: 0010007086

To grind wet, moist or pasty samples with less carry-over of residues in the grinding tool from one batch to the next: 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 beaker is made of autoclavable plastic and is operated exclusively in conjunction with the supplied TC 1 protective housing, which serves 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 want to avoid carry-over between batches.Grinding of moist, wet or pasty samples with reduced cross-contaminationWeighing and grinding in the same vessel, without the need for decantingTemperature-monitored homogenisation of sensitive samplesCoarse 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 load220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 1,000 W (100 to 120 V / 100 to 115 V variants available)IP ratingIP 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 beakerAt 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.Regulatory informationThis device is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).
