Product information "IKA S 10 N - 8 G dispersing tool, Ø 8 mm, 0003305500"
The IKA S 10 N - 8 G dispersing tool is a specialised, materials-science-optimised system component designed for precise rotor-stator dispersion in the microlitre and millilitre range. Designed for use with the compact dispersers of the ULTRA-TURRAX T 10 series, this dispersing shaft enables highly efficient sample preparation of sensitive biological, pharmaceutical and chemical media. In applications such as the lysis of tissue cells, the emulsification of cosmetic formulations or the suspension of poorly soluble active ingredients in very small sample vessels, the precise fluid-dynamic geometry of this tool prevents thermal stress on the samples and ensures complete homogenisation. For laboratory managers and procurement officers in industrial research facilities, this tool offers the highest level of validity and process reliability in accordance with stringent GLP and GMP guidelines.
Rotor-stator kinetics and process-related shear dynamics
The mechanical operating principle is based on the tried-and-tested rotor-stator system, in which the inner rotor moves within the fixed stator at extremely high rotational speeds, preferably up to 30,000 revolutions per minute. Due to the small radial gap between the rotor and stator, the sample medium is drawn axially into the dispersion head and then forced radially through the slots of the generator with enormous kinetic energy. The combination of extremely high shear forces, turbulent shear fields and transient cavitation effects guarantees particle and droplet size reduction down to the micrometre range. The 8 G generator is characterised by an optimised tooth geometry, which enables rapid primary fragmentation of fibrous, tough or cellular sample structures in a single pass.
Material resilience and sterilisation cycles
The material-specific system limits of the dispersing tool are defined by the consistent use of high-quality stainless steel (material number 1.4404 / AISI 316L) and a robust PTFE bearing. This material composition ensures outstanding chemical resistance to aggressive acids, alkalis and organic solvents, whilst gently preventing metallic cross-contamination in multi-user operations. A crucial criterion for molecular biological and microbiological applications is the instrument’s unrestricted sterilisability: the entire dispersing instrument is fully autoclavable at 121 °C and can be hot-air sterilised up to 180 °C, thereby guaranteeing an absolutely germ-free sample handling process.
Ergonomic design features and working area
The mechanical design features a stator diameter of 8 millimetres and a shaft length of 115 millimetres, enabling reliable operation in deep, narrow reaction vessels and Eppendorf cups. The working range covers a sample volume of 0.5 to 50 millilitres, allowing expensive active ingredients and reagents to be dispensed and processed in a material-efficient manner. Thanks to the shaft’s easy disassembly, the tool can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly after use, significantly speeding up the logistical workflow in the laboratory and minimising downtime.

Custom requirements & accessories
For the IKA S 10 N - 8 G dispersing tool to operate as intended, a drive unit from the IKA ULTRA-TURRAX T 10 series (e.g. T 10 basic or T 10 digital) is required. To physically prevent abrasive wear of the internal PTFE bearings during dry running, the tool must always be immersed sufficiently deep into the sample medium (min. 20 mm) before switching on. In the event of long-term material fatigue, we stock suitable PTFE replacement seals and manufacturer-approved maintenance kits in our range. Please use our procurement service to select your laboratory peripherals.
Fits
The IKA T 10 basic ULTRA-TURRAX is a hand-held disperser for small sample volumes of between 0.5 and 100 millilitres (H₂O). The unit is powered directly from the 230-volt mains supply, requires no battery and is ready for use immediately upon plugging it in. The speed is infinitely variable from 8,000 to 30,000 revolutions per minute, allowing it to process both low-viscosity aqueous samples and thicker emulsions up to 5,000 mPas.Continuously variable speed via the scale displayOn the T 10 basic, the speed is read from a scale on the housing; the battery-powered ‘battery’ version displays it digitally. This is sufficient for a procedure where the same mark can always be selected, and operation remains simple. When plugged in, the unit draws 125 watts, 75 watts of which are delivered to the motor. A duty cycle of 10 minutes followed by a 5-minute pause protects the motor from overheating during longer production runs.Tool change without additional toolsThe arm has a diameter of 8 millimetres and a length of 100 millimetres. The dispersion tool can be removed without any additional tools using the quick-release coupling. Stainless steel dispersion tools are dismantled and cleaned individually for this purpose, whilst the disposable plastic tools, available in two sizes, come ready-assembled from the packaging and are disposed of after use. This reduces the cleaning effort required between two samples and prevents cross-contamination, for example in PCR analysis. No dispersing tool is included in the scope of delivery; it is selected separately to suit the application.Compact and lightweight for manual operationMeasuring 178 millimetres in length, 56 in width and 66 in depth, the T 10 basic fits comfortably in the hand. Weighing 0.61 kilograms, the device can be held for extended periods without causing fatigue; the noise level without an attachment fitted is 65 dB(A).For different mains voltagesIn addition to the standard 230-volt version, IKA also supplies the same unit in 115-volt and 100-volt versions, for countries outside the European mains supply or for branch sites with different mains voltages. The IP 30 protection rating in accordance with DIN EN 60529 and a permissible operating range of between 5 and 40 degrees Celsius at up to 80 per cent relative humidity are sufficient for normal day-to-day laboratory use, although the unit is not designed for use outdoors or in damp rooms.Typical applicationsHomogenisation of small tissue samples prior to further extractionPreparation and fine dispersion of emulsions and suspensions on a micro-scaleSample preparation for PCR analysis using disposable plastic instrumentsRoutine tasks in teaching and training where a robust instrument that does not require battery maintenance is requiredSelection guide: basic or battery?The T 10 basic runs exclusively on mains power and therefore always requires a power socket within reach. For those who wish to use the disperser under a fume cupboard or on the move without a cable, the T 10 battery ULTRA-TURRAX is the battery-powered variant of the same series, albeit with lower motor power and a lower viscosity limit of 200 mPas. For mobile use with suitable accessories, there are also three kits available, such as the T 10 battery Portable Solution or the T 10 battery Tissue Safe Solution with disposable tools for tissue samples.Technical detailsMotor power input / output125 W / 75 WProcessable volume (H₂O)0.5 to 100 mlMax. viscosity5,000 mPasSpeed range8,000 to 30,000 rpm, continuously variableSpeed displayScaleNoise level without tools65 dB(A)Boom diameter / boom length8 mm / 100 mmDuty cycleON 10 mins, OFF 5 minsPermissible ambient temperature / humidity5 to 40 °C / 80 %Protection classIP 30 in accordance with DIN EN 60529Dimensions (W x H x D)56 x 178 x 66 mmWeight0.61 kgPower rating230 V, 50/60 Hz, 125 W (other voltage options: 115 V / 100 V)ContentsT 10 basic ULTRA-TURRAX drive unit, ID No. 0003737000R 200 clamp, ID No. 0003372000A dispersing tool is not included in the scope of delivery and must be selected separately from the range of accessories to suit the application.Regulatory informationThis unit is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).
