Maximum analytical reliability for medium and large volumes: the IKA S 25 D - 14 G - KS disposable dispersing tool
In modern, highly specialised laboratory analysis, medical and clinical diagnostics, and forensic evidence collection, sample preparation forms the absolute, critical foundation for all subsequent investigations. When pulverising animal and plant tissue samples, homogenising viscous cell cultures or processing infectious environmental materials using a high-performance disperser from the renowned IKA T 25 series, enormous mechanical shear forces are at work. These physical forces inevitably force microscopically small, often invisible components of the sample deep into the mechanical gaps and internal plain bearings of the tool being used. Unless a conventional reusable stainless-steel tool is painstakingly dismantled, chemically cleaned, brushed and then sterilised in an autoclave after every single sample, there is a risk of cross-contamination (known as ‘carry-over’), which is dreaded by laboratory technicians. To finally eliminate this highly critical, extremely time-consuming and error-prone problem from your day-to-day laboratory routine, IKA has developed the revolutionary S 25 D - 14 G - KS single-use dispersing tool (MPN 0003452100). Supplied in a cost-effective and practical pack of 12, this tool, made from high-quality medical-grade plastic, offers uncompromising homogenisation performance whilst ensuring absolute protection against any sample carry-over.
The end of cross-contamination in highly sensitive processes
The fundamental and truly groundbreaking concept behind the ‘KS’ (plastic) series is based on the strict single-use principle. In highly sensitive fields such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) analysis, preparation for next-generation sequencing (NGS) or toxicological investigations in forensic medicine, even a single, invisibly carried-over DNA molecule or a minuscule trace of an active substance from a previous sample can lead to so-called false-positive results. At best, such catastrophic misinterpretations ‘merely’ ruin an extremely expensive and time-consuming series of experiments; at worst, however, they can lead to fundamentally incorrect medical diagnoses or chains of evidence that are inadmissible in court. By using the IKA S 25 D - 14 G - KS, you eliminate this enormous analytical risk one hundred per cent. For every new patient or environmental sample, you remove a completely fresh, unused and hygienically impeccable tool directly from its packaging. After the dispersion process, the plastic tool is simply disposed of properly as clinical waste, together with any potentially infectious or contaminated residual sample. The error-prone, extremely time-consuming and expensive cleaning and sterilisation cycle required for conventional stainless steel tools is completely eliminated, raising your process reliability and compliance with standards (GLP/GMP) to an unprecedented level.
The 14-millimetre advantage: powerful for medium to large volumes
In direct comparison with the smaller 10 mm instruments, this S 25 D - 14 G - KS model stands out due to its significantly larger stator diameter of 14 millimetres (indicated by the ‘14’ in the product designation). This larger size greatly expands the tool’s efficient working range: you can homogenise sample volumes from 10 millilitres up to a substantial 500 millilitres (based on the viscosity of water) effortlessly, quickly and with absolute reproducibility. The additional suffix ‘G’ denotes a coarse slot geometry on the stator. This open, high-throughput geometry is of fundamental importance when dealing with coarse-grained, extremely tough or highly fibrous feedstocks. Sturdy plant roots, tough muscle tissue, tough cartilage, coated pharmaceutical tablets or compact food samples are drawn deep into the shear gap by the powerful axial suction forces of the 14-mm rotor. There, at speeds of up to 24,000 revolutions per minute, they are cut and pulverised into their finest components by the sharp plastic edges.
Cost-effectiveness and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the modern laboratory
At first, cursory glance, the ongoing purchase of single-use tools is very often regarded as an additional and unnecessary cost factor. However, a detailed full-cost analysis (Total Cost of Ownership) in real-world laboratory practice proves the exact opposite in almost every case. The purchase cost of a single IKA S 25 D disposable tool is significantly lower than the cumulative cost of the expensive working time a highly qualified laboratory technician spends daily at the sink dismantling, laboriously brushing and reassembling conventional stainless steel tools. Added to this are the substantial, often hidden savings on expensive, aggressive cleaning chemicals, the high energy and water consumption of the autoclave, and the inevitable and costly wear and tear on PTFE slide bearings and seals in stainless steel models. Through the consistent use of single-use technology, analytical laboratories drastically increase their sample throughput. Highly qualified staff are freed from repetitive, tedious cleaning tasks and can finally concentrate fully once again on the actual, value-adding scientific analysis of the data.
System integration for maximum occupational safety (aerosol protection)
The IKA S 25 D - 14 G - KS is designed as a precisely fitting original accessory exclusively for the globally proven IKA T 25 dispersing drives. It can be coupled seamlessly and without play to the T 25 digital, the T 25 easy clean digital and the T 25 easy clean control. Another advantage of this system, which is absolutely crucial and indispensable for modern occupational health and safety, is its 100% compatibility with IKA disposable tubes (such as the S 18/25-ET50 tube). Simply attaching this protective tube to the tool shank creates a fully self-contained system. When dispersing infectious bacterial cultures, highly toxic chemicals or extremely foul-smelling environmental samples at maximum speed, this ensures that no dangerous splashes or invisible, respirable aerosols can escape into the laboratory environment or the fume cupboard. In this way, you not only effectively protect yourself and your staff from dangerous pathogens, but also prevent the unnoticed external contamination of your valuable laboratory instruments, balances and pipettes in the immediate vicinity.

Individual requirements & accessories
To fully exploit the potential of this tool in terms of occupational safety and aerosol protection, we strongly recommend combining it with the IKA S 18/25-ET50 disposable tube, which fits seamlessly onto the shaft of this 14 mm tool and acts as a hermetic splash guard. Do you need to process very small sample volumes (under 100 ml) with high precision? In that case, simply switch to the smaller version, the S 25 D - 10 G - KS (with a 10 mm stator), for these applications. Our experienced procurement service will be happy to advise you on selecting the ideal tool sizes and establishing optimal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for your contamination-free sample preparation.
Fits
A batch of formulation in a beaker, an emulsion in a 500-millilitre flask, a batch of cell suspension for sample preparation: the T 25 digital ULTRA-TURRAX is the classic drive unit for all tasks in everyday laboratory work involving volumes between 1 millilitre and 2 litres. It covers a speed range from 3,000 to 25,000 revolutions per minute and is supplied as a drive unit only, without a dispersing tool, so that each laboratory can choose the appropriate tool geometry itself.Electronic speed control for reproducible batchesThe speed can be adjusted continuously between 3,000 and 25,000 rpm, with a deviation of just 1 per cent. An LED display shows the set value directly, whilst electronic overload protection and an error code display ensure reliable operation. Without an attachment fitted, the unit remains comparatively quiet at 75 dB(A); the maximum viscosity is 5,000 mPas. For batches that alternate between low- and medium-viscosity phases, the speed can be readjusted at any time during the process without switching off the unit.Compact drive for the laboratory benchMeasuring 87 x 271 x 106 millimetres and weighing 2.5 kilograms, the T 25 digital takes up little bench space; the arm measures 13 millimetres in diameter and 160 millimetres in length. The power input is 800 watts, whilst the power output is 500 watts. The unit operates at 220 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 hertz; a voltage variant of 100 to 120 volts is also available. Protection class IP 20 in accordance with DIN EN 60529 and a permissible duty cycle of 100 per cent round off the key technical specifications; the permissible ambient temperature range is from 5 to 40 degrees Celsius with up to 80 per cent relative humidity.Assemble tools and stand as requiredAs no dispersing tool is supplied, each laboratory selects the geometry to suit the application: reusable stainless steel tools such as the S 25 N - 18 G - ST (Ident 0004447300) or the S 25 N - 25 G (Ident 0001713300), as well as disposable plastic tools in two sizes for applications where cross-contamination between samples must be ruled out. The S 25 KV – 25 G dissolver tool (Ident 0002466900) is suitable for more viscous media. For stationary operation, the R 1826 plate stand (ID 0003160100) with R 182 cross-sleeve (ID 0002657700) is available; for cleaning, the TS 25-3 Cleaning Tool (ID 0020003013) or the disposable tube S 18/25-ET50 (ID 0003452500) are suitable for cleaning.Typical applicationsHomogenisation of wastewater samples in environmental analysisDispersion tasks in laboratory reactorsWork under vacuum or pressure with suitable accessoriesSample preparation in medical researchSelection guide: individual drive unit or complete setIf you do not wish to put together the tool and stand separately, you will find the same technology, including accessories, in the T 25 digital Solution. For smaller tasks involving temperature measurement, the T 25 mini control ULTRA-TURRAX is the more compact alternative; for a housing design that is easier to clean, the T 25 easy clean digital is the choice.

The T 25 easy clean digital ULTRA-TURRAX is the drive unit in the IKA T 25 easy clean series, designed for laboratories that need to clean quickly and thoroughly between batches. The tool can be opened for cleaning without having to completely dismantle the rotor-stator unit, which saves time when changing products frequently and prevents cross-contamination. A dispersing tool is not included with the unit; it is selected separately to suit the specific application.The easy-clean principle in practiceTools in the easy-clean series are identified by the abbreviation ‘EC’ in their name and can be opened for cleaning without the need to dismantle the entire drive unit. This saves users the time-consuming process of changing tools and completely dismantling the unit when, for example, they are processing a cosmetic emulsion in the morning and a different formulation in the afternoon. A brushless DC motor drives the tool, which reduces carbon dust in the cleanroom and keeps operation comparatively quiet at 70 dB(A) when no tool is fitted.Display, timer and operationThe speed is shown on an LED display and can be adjusted continuously between 3,000 and 25,000 revolutions per minute with a tolerance of 2 per cent. A built-in timer with its own LED display manages recurring process times, meaning a batch does not need to be stopped manually. A micro-USB interface is provided for connection to labworldsoft, via which parameters can be documented.Performance data and mechanical designWith a power consumption of 500 watts and an output power of 400 watts, the unit processes volumes of 1 to 2,000 millilitres of water and media with a viscosity of up to 5,000 mPas. The arm measures 13 millimetres in diameter and 160 millimetres in length; the housing is protected against dust and coarse foreign particles to IP 30 in accordance with DIN EN 60529 and is designed for a 100 per cent duty cycle. The unit operates on a mains supply of 220 to 240 volts; for locations outside the European mains supply, a 100 to 120-volt version is available on request.Documentation and ConformityThe unit comes with its own EU Declaration of Conformity available for download, as well as a data sheet in PDF format. The operating instructions cover not only this drive unit but also the ‘control’ variant of the T-25 easy-clean series and are available in 14 languages, ranging from German and English to Chinese, Thai and Korean. This means that the same set of instructions can be used at multiple workstations in locations with an international workforce.Typical applicationsThe wide speed range and the ‘easy-clean’ cleaning system make the unit particularly attractive in situations where there are frequent changes between different samples.Homogenisation of medical and pharmaceutical samples with frequent product changesEmulsification of cosmetic formulations on a laboratory scaleSuspending paints and coatingsDispersing under vacuum or pressure in conjunction with an IKA laboratory reactorSelection guide: digital or control, single unit or set?If you do not require temperature measurement, this digital drive unit is a good choice. If the sample temperature needs to be monitored during dispersion – for example, with heat-sensitive formulations – the T 25 easy clean control ULTRA-TURRAX is a better option; it measures temperatures between 0 and 125 degrees Celsius via an RFID-enabled tool. If you do not yet own a dispersing tool, the T 25 easy clean digital Solution saves you the trouble of selecting a separate tool; the set comes complete with the tool, stand and cross-coupling. For more compact applications with Wi-Fi connectivity and smaller volumes, the T 25 mini control ULTRA-TURRAX is also available; for larger volumes requiring higher performance, the T 25 digital ULTRA-TURRAX is the ideal choice.Technical detailsThe following table summarises the key specifications for the drive, operation and connections, as specified by IKA for the digital version of the T 25 easy clean series.Motor power input / output500 W / 400 WProcessable volume (H₂O)1 to 2,000 mlMax. viscosity5,000 mPasSpeed range3,000 to 25,000 rpm, continuously variable (2% deviation)Speed displayLEDMotor typebrushless, direct currentNoise level without tools70 dB(A)Boom diameter / boom length13 mm / 160 mmTimerYes, LED displayPermissible duty cycle100 %Permissible ambient temperature / humidity5 to 40 °C / 80 %Protection classIP 30 in accordance with DIN EN 60529USB interfaceMicro-USBPower rating220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 500 W (alternative voltage option: 100 to 120 V)Dimensions (W x H x D)89 x 270 x 161 mmWeight3 kgContentsT 25 easy clean digital ULTRA-TURRAX drive unitUSB cable, USB A to Micro-B, 2 mA dispersing tool is not included in the scope of delivery and must be selected separately to suit the application.Regulatory informationThis device is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).
