IKA T 18 mini digital Solution Disperser Set, brushless motor including tool and stand, 0010015137
Not every laboratory workstation has room for a large drive, and not every sample requires 500 watts of power. The IKA T 18 mini digital Solution (0010015137) is designed precisely for these situations: a compact, brushless disperser set with an attachment and stand that can be accommodated even in small spaces and is designed for samples with lower viscosity. Compact brushless drive With external dimensions of 66 x 186 x 100 millimetres and a weight of 1.8 kilograms, the drive unit is significantly smaller than the classic T 18 digital. The brushless DC motor delivers 210 watts of input power and 160 watts of output power, and is designed for a maximum viscosity of 2,000 mPas. As with the larger series, the speed range extends from 3,000 to 25,000 revolutions per minute, albeit with a slightly higher tolerance of 3 per cent. Digital display, timer and USB-C The LED display shows the set speed, whilst an integrated timer with its own LED display manages the process time, meaning that runs do not need to be stopped manually. The device can be connected to a documentation system via the USB-C interface. In standby mode, power consumption is just 3 watts, whilst the maximum power consumption of the unit is 250 watts. Power is supplied internally via 48 volts DC at a current draw of 4,500 milliamps; the power supply unit itself covers the range from 100 to 240 volts and can therefore be used worldwide without the need for a separate voltage converter. Designed for smaller volumes and lower viscosity According to the manufacturer, the T 18 mini digital Solution is suitable for simple applications involving the homogenisation of low-viscosity samples. As with the larger model, the processable volume ranges from 0.001 to 1.5 litres; however, the maximum viscosity of 2,000 mPas is lower than that of the T 18 digital, which is 5,000 mPas. For routine samples in life sciences laboratories, training centres or smaller-scale quality control procedures that do not involve particularly viscous or high-volume batches, the performance is generally more than adequate. What the compact design means in everyday use With a footprint that is significantly smaller than that of the classic T 18 digital, the T 18 mini digital Solution can be accommodated even where several workstations are positioned close together, such as in practical training rooms or at smaller fume cupboard workstations. The lower weight of 1.8 kilograms also makes manual operation more comfortable over longer periods when a stand is not used. Those who regularly switch between several workstations also benefit from the fact that the compact unit is easier to transport than the larger series. Typical applications Homogenisation of low-viscosity samples (according to the manufacturer) Smaller batches in life sciences and teaching laboratories Workstations with limited floor space Processes with documented time control via the integrated timer Brief overview within the T-18 range For those requiring higher viscosity or greater motor power, the larger T 18 digital Solution offers the ideal set with a power consumption of 500 watts instead of 210 watts. LT Laborhandel supplies the drive unit on its own as the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX; the dispersing tool included in the set is also available separately as the S 18 N - 19 G dispersing tool.

An overview of all dispersing units at LT Laborhandel can be found in the ‘Dispersing Units’ category; suitable tools are listed under ‘Dispersing Tools’. Application, installation and maintenance With an IP 30 protection rating, the drive unit is slightly better protected against the ingress of foreign objects than the classic T 18 digital with IP 20; however, it is still not designed to withstand splashing water. Operation is permitted at an ambient temperature of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of up to 80 per cent. The tool’s supplied PTFE bearing must not run dry; the medium provides both lubrication and cooling. The integrated timer reduces the effort required for manual time control in recurring processes, but does not replace the need to monitor the batch. At the end of its service life, as an electrical appliance, the drive must not be disposed of with household waste, but must be placed in the separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment. When the mini drive is a worthwhile investment If the viscosity of the samples is up to a maximum of 2,000 mPas and the focus is on a compact design, a timer and documentation via USB-C, the T 18 mini digital Solution reliably meets these requirements. If, on the other hand, thicker media up to 5,000 mPas are regularly processed, or if the higher power consumption of 500 watts is required, the larger T 18 digital Solution is the more suitable choice. Both sets share the same standard tool, the S 18 N – 19 G, so switching between the two sizes does not necessarily change the choice of tool. For laboratories that need to meet both requirements simultaneously – for example, a sensitive batch with low viscosity followed by a more viscous sample – it may also be worthwhile to purchase both sizes for different workstations. Individual requirements & procurement service Those who also work with disposable dispersing tools will find the S 18/25-ET50 disposable tube from LT Laborhandel to be a practical cleaning aid. Do you also require an additional stand for a second workstation or assistance with the USB connection to your documentation system? Through our procurement service, LT Laborhandel supports you with procurement and configuration.

Heidolph Hei-PLATE Mix 20l Magnetic Stirrer, up to 20 L, without Heating, 506-54100-00
If a batch requires more volume than a standard hotplate can accommodate, but at the same time does not require a heat source directly beneath the vessel, the Hei-PLATE Mix 20 l provides exactly this combination: stirring of up to 20 l without any heating function; according to the manufacturer, even the heat from the motor is not transferred to the work surface. The chassis is identical in construction to the Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core, but without the heating module, and covers a speed range from 100 to 1,400 revolutions per minute.No heat input for heat-sensitive substancesFor substances that are sensitive to heat, any additional source of temperature poses a risk, even the waste heat from a motor. The Hei-PLATE Mix 20 l is therefore deliberately designed without a heating function, ensuring that the base remains cool. A soft-start function gently brings the speed up to the set value, ensuring that the sample does not splash at start-up and the stirring rod does not veer off course.Large Kera-Disk platform for 20 lThe 145-millimetre-diameter Kera-Disk platform, made of aluminium with a ceramic coating, is chemical-resistant and scratch-resistant, and can support samples weighing up to 25 kilograms. With a power consumption of just 25 watts in normal operation, energy usage remains low for a unit with this stirring capacity; in standby mode, it drops to 1.7 watts. The external dimensions of 168 x 101 x 299 millimetres are consistent with the rest of the Hei-PLATE range, meaning the unit can be integrated into existing workstations without any modifications.Typical applicationsStirring of large-volume batches up to 20 l without heat inputProcessing of heat-labile active ingredients and dyesPreparation of larger volumes of buffers and reagents in routine laboratory workApplications where even minimal motor heat would interfere with the sampleSupplementing a Hei-PLATE workstation with a second, non-heated unitElectrical protection and environmental conditionsIP42 protection rating protects against foreign bodies larger than 1 mm and dripping water when tilted up to 15°; the sound pressure level is below 50 dB(A). The unit operates at 230 volts at 50 or 60 hertz in Europe and 115 volts in the USA, in each case via a connection with L, N and a protective earth conductor. The permissible operating range is from 5 to 31 degrees Celsius at up to 80 per cent relative humidity; above this, the permissible humidity decreases linearly down to 40 degrees Celsius.Selection guide: smaller volume or with heatingIf a 5-litre mixing volume is sufficient, the more compact Hei-Mix S is the smaller and simpler alternative. If a heating plate is required, the identically constructed chassis with a heating module, as the Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core, delivers temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius; with additional digital Pt1000 control, it is available as the Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core+.Technical detailsDimensions (W x H x D)168 x 101 x 299 mmFootprint (Kera-Disk)Ø 145 mm, aluminium, ceramic-coatedWeightapprox. 3 kgMaximum permissible load25 kgDriveEC motor, counter-clockwise rotationSpeed range100 to 1,400 rpmProtection class (EN 60529)IP42Sound pressure level< 50 dB(A)Rated voltage230 V, 50/60 Hz (EU); 115 V, 50/60 Hz (US)Connection typeL+N+PEProtection classIOvervoltage categoryIIPollution degree2Power consumption25 W in normal operation, 1.7 W on standbyEMC classB, Group 1Operating temperature5 to 31 °C at up to 80 per cent relative humidity, 32 to 40 °C at up to 50 per cent relative humidity (linearly decreasing)Installation altitudeup to 2,000 m above sea levelScope of deliveryHei-PLATE Mix 20 l, order number 506-54100-00The silicone cover for the Hei-PLATE Mix 20 l is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.Regulatory informationThis device is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).

IKA T 25 digital LR disperser, for laboratory reactors, up to 2000 ml, 0020008820
Anyone wishing to prepare emulsions, suspensions or nanoparticle formulations not in an open beaker but in a closed, temperature-controlled laboratory reactor will need a drive that can be integrated into this system. The IKA T 25 digital LR disperser (0020008820) is designed precisely for this purpose: a dedicated drive unit for high-speed dispersion in laboratory reactors, with a volume range of 1 to 2,000 millilitres (based on water) and a speed range of 600 to 25,000 revolutions per minute. Unlike a benchtop disperser for open beakers, it is designed from the outset for mechanical integration into closed reactor systems and is not intended as a stand-alone, ready-to-use laboratory instrument. Powerful drive with infinitely variable speed control The 800-watt motor (500 watts output power) covers a continuously and electronically adjustable speed range from 600 to 25,000 revolutions per minute, displayed via a digital LED display with a deviation of just 1 per cent from the set target speed. In combination with the appropriate IKA dispersion tools, high shear forces are generated in the narrow shear gap between the rotor and stator, which break down particles and droplets and homogenise liquid phases – the classic operating principle of rotor-stator dispersers. The maximum permissible viscosity of the medium is 5,000 mPa·s, a guideline value that must be taken into account when selecting the dispersing tool and controlling the process. Designed for installation in laboratory reactor systems Unlike free-standing bench-top dispersers, the T 25 digital LR is designed as a drive unit only, which can be mechanically coupled with the special dispersing tools of the KD-LR series. These tools are designed for use in closed laboratory reactors such as the IKA LR 1000 and, thanks to high-quality shaft seals, enable operation under vacuum – which is useful for preventing aerosol and foam formation in media containing surfactants or for processing oxidation-sensitive batches under an inert atmosphere. Neither the dispersing tool nor the reactor itself is included with the T 25 digital LR; both must be purchased separately to suit the specific application. Electronic overload protection and digital display An integrated microprocessor maintains the set speed even when the resistance of the medium changes, for example if the viscosity of a batch increases during the reaction. If the stirring tool becomes suddenly blocked, for example by a jammed particle, an electronic overload protection system switches off the motor and displays an error code; this protects both the motor and the coupled dispersing tool. The unit is designed for continuous operation with a permissible duty cycle of 100 per cent. Compact design for mounting on a reactor stand Measuring 87 x 271 x 106 millimetres and weighing 2.5 kilograms, the T 25 digital LR can be mounted on a reactor stand to save space. The noise level without the dispersing tool fitted is 75 dB(A). The housing is rated to protection class IP 20 and approved for an ambient temperature of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius. It can be connected to either 220 to 240 volts or 100 to 120 volts at 50 or 60 hertz. Selecting the appropriate dispersing tool Which KD-LR tool is suitable in each individual case depends on the reactor volume, the desired immersion depth and the viscosity range of the medium. The tools in this series feature an extended design so that, even in larger reaction vessels, they reach right down to the bottom of the vessel and continue to disperse effectively there, rather than leaving dead volume unused. As the T 25 digital LR is designed as a drive for different reactor sizes and tool variants, the same drive can often continue to be used when process requirements change, whilst only the dispersing tool is replaced. Typical applications As a drive unit for laboratory reactors, the T 25 digital LR is used wherever dispersion processes must take place under controlled, closed conditions: Production of emulsions and creams under air-exclusion conditions in closed reactors Dispersion and homogenisation of suspensions with controlled temperature regulation Scale-up trials between open beaker stirring and pilot reactors Production of finely dispersed systems with limited sample volumes from 1 millilitre Process development in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries with requirements for reproducibility Technical details Product typeDrive unit for dispersion tools in laboratory reactors Volume range (H₂O)1 to 2,000 ml Motor power (input / output)800 W / 500 W Speed range600 to 25,000 rpm, electronically continuously adjustable Speed deviation1 % Speed displayLED display Maximum permissible viscosity of the medium5,000 mPa·s Noise level (without dispersing tool)75 dB(A) Permissible duty cycle100 % (continuous operation) Motor protectionElectronic overload protection with error code display Dimensions (W x H x D)87 x 271 x 106 mm Arm length / Arm diameter160 mm / 13 mm Weight2.5 kg Protection class (to DIN EN 60529)IP 20 Permissible ambient temperature5 to 40 °C Power supply220 to 240 V or 100 to 120 V, 50/60 Hz Contents of delivery 1 x IKA T 25 digital LR drive unit 1 x mains lead for IT equipment 1 x operating instructions Not included are the required dispersing tool from the KD-LR series, the laboratory reactor itself, and a stand for mounting the drive unit. These components must be procured separately to suit the specific application. Customised requirements & procurement service As the T 25 digital LR is designed purely as a drive unit, you will also need a suitable dispersing tool from the KD-LR series and a stand solution to secure the drive in order to operate it on your laboratory reactor. Through our procurement service, we can assist you in selecting the appropriate dispersing tool for your specific application, as well as stand materials, spare parts and accessories for integration into existing reactor systems.

IKA C-MAG HS 7 control, magnetic stirrer with heating, ceramic hotplate, 0020002694
Thermodynamic infrared transmission and amorphous ceramic matrix The introduction of extremely high thermal energy into chemical reaction systems requires material architectures that are thermophysically resistant to massive temperature gradients. The IKA C-MAG HS 7 control utilises a monolithic base plate made of glass-hard, amorphous industrial ceramic (180 x 180 mm). This microstructured ceramic plate is not only characterised by absolute chemical inertness towards highly corrosive acids, halogens and bases, but also acts as an excellent infrared transmitter. With a massive heating capacity of 1,000 watts, the system generates surface temperatures of up to 500 °C. The thermal energy is not primarily transferred via pure heat conduction, but is coupled deep into the glass matrix of the reaction vessel with a high proportion of infrared radiation. This minimises thermodynamic latency and enables extremely rapid heating rates for high-boiling-point solvents or melt digestion. Electromagnetic kinematics and rheological trend metrology The physical mixing of structurally viscous fluids up to a macroscopic volume of 20 litres requires a constant, slip-free torque. The system generates a strong alternating electromagnetic field that continuously synchronises the stirring rod within the medium at speeds of 50 to 1,500 revolutions per minute. The electronic motor control compensates for rheological resistance in real time. A fundamental analytical function of this cybernetic model is the measurement of the relative torque trend. The system measures the electromagnetic phase shift induced by changes in the fluid’s viscosity during molecular polymerisation, cross-linking or crystallisation processes, and displays this vector change directly on the high-resolution LCD display. System cybernetics and hardened interface architecture To protect the electronic control unit in toxic or highly corrosive laboratory environments, the entire user interface is isolated behind a monolithic, chemically resistant sheet of real glass (hardened glass). Thermodynamic control within the medium is achieved via a PID cascade control system directly coupled to the supplied PT 1000 temperature sensor, thereby physically eliminating thermal overshoot. An independent, hardware-based safety circuit (continuously adjustable from 100 to 650 °C) and the IKA SmartTemp ® optical warning system guarantee absolute occupational health and safety by warning of latent infrared residual heat from the ceramic matrix, even after the primary power supply has been disconnected. Technical Details Thermodynamics & Heating Technology Heating power: 1000 W Heating temperature range: room temperature to 500 °C Base material: Amorphous industrial ceramic (monolithic) Base dimensions: 180 x 180 mm Heating rate control: Anticipatory PID control (with external PT 1000) Heating plate setting and display resolution: 5 K Setting and display resolution for the medium (via probe): 1 K Temperature control accuracy (with PT 1000 in the fluid): ± 0.5 K Heating rate (1 litre of H₂O in H 1500): 5 K/min Metrology & Control Engineering Viscosity measurement: Relative torque trend measurement (Torque Trend) Timer function: Integrated, cybernetically controllable Temperature sensor interface: PT 1000 (DIN) for ETS-D5 / ETS-D6 or direct connection Sensor failure detection: Error 5 (Sensor in Medium Detection) Cybernetic interface: High-contrast LCD beneath tempered real glass Kinematics & Mechanics Speed range: 50 – 1,500 rpm Motor power input / output: 9 W (mechanical transmission) Speed deviation (under rated load): ± 2 % Maximum stirring volume (based on H₂O): 20 litres Maximum stir bar length: 80 mm (minimum 30 mm) Reversible direction of rotation: Yes, programmable interval operation Safety & environmental conditions Hardware safety circuit: Adjustable from 100 to 650 °C Residual heat indicator: IKA SmartTemp ® (Hot Top Indicator) Permissible ambient temperature range: 5 – 40 °C Permissible relative humidity: max. 80 % Protection class (according to DIN EN 60529): IP 21 Infrastructure, Electrical & Connectivity System dimensions (W x H x D): 220 x 88 x 354 mm Weight: 4.0 kg Voltage / Frequency: 220 – 230 V / 50/60 Hz Power consumption: 1020 W (standby: 2 W) Data interfaces: USB and RS 232 (for firmware updates and LIMS/labworldsoft ® connection) Scope of delivery 1 x IKA C-MAG HS 7 control magnetic stirrer 1 x PT 1000.80 temperature probe (stainless steel) 1 x IKAFLON ® magnetic stirring bar 1 x USB cable and mains lead (Important note: Support rods and sleeves for vertically securing the PT-1000 probe at the centre of the flow vortex are not included in the scope of delivery!) Customised requirements & accessories The C-MAG HS 7 control is a high-performance thermodynamic instrument that achieves its control precision solely through the exact positioning of the sensor system. To complete the PID control loop, the supplied PT-1000 probe must be positioned freely within the liquid phase. For this purpose, vertical locking using an IKA support rod (H 16 V) and cross-shaped sleeve (H 44) is essential. If the probe comes into contact with the hot vessel wall, this would distort the cybernetic control loop. For highly corrosive media that attack stainless steel, we recommend switching to the glass-sheathed PT 1000.70 probe. Please contact our procurement service at any time for the thermodynamically correct configuration.
Heidolph Hei-PLATE Sensor Basic Package Core+ Magnetic Stirrer Set, Ø145 mm, with Pt1000 Probe, 506-21150-00
A digital display on the hotplate and an external temperature probe in the vessel are, for many laboratories, the first step towards traceable temperature control. The Sensor Basic Core+ package combines the Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core+ digital magnetic stirrer, with a footprint of 145 millimetres, with an external Pt1000 temperature probe, whilst remaining a basic configuration without a stand or silicone cover.LCD display and two heating modesThe Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core+ included in the pack displays speed and temperature on an LCD screen; the dynamic control knobs respond to the speed of hand movement, slow for fine adjustment, fast for larger increments. There are two heating modes to choose from: FAST for rapid heating and PRECISE for control without overshoot. The included Pt1000 temperature probe (V4A, order number 509-67910-00) measures the temperature directly within the medium rather than just on the heating plate, with an accuracy of ±0.2 Kelvin plus the tolerance of the Pt1000 sensor and a resolution of 1 Kelvin. In conjunction with the probe, the magnetic stirrer covers a display and measurement range from 15 to 325 degrees Celsius.Why the temperature in the medium mattersWithout an external probe, a heating plate only controls the temperature of its own surface, not that of the liquid in the vessel. For buffers, solutions or reaction mixtures with a defined target temperature, this makes a difference, particularly when the volume or shape of the vessel changes. The Pt1000 probe is immersed in the medium and provides the control system with the actual value. This allows the set temperature to be reproduced independently of the vessel.Typical applicationsBuffer and solution preparations with a fixed target temperature in the vesselReaction mixtures where the temperature is to be monitored directly inside the flaskFirst steps towards documented temperature control without additional accessoriesUpgrading an existing Core+ magnetic stirrer with an external sensorSelection guide: Basic or AdvancedIf you wish to secure the sensor permanently and protect the work surface between uses, you’ll find the right equipment in the Core+ Sensor Advanced Package, which includes an additional mount and silicone cover. For reflux set-ups with a condenser, there are the dedicated Core+ and Core+ Mini reflux packages. If you do not require an LCD display and are happy with the simpler rotary knob operation, the Sensor Advanced Package Core offers the analogue alternative.Technical detailsDimensions (W x H x D)168 x 101 x 299 mmHeating plate footprintØ 145 mmWeightapprox. 3 kgMaximum permissible load25 kgDriveEC motor, counter-clockwise rotationSpeed range100 to 1,400 rpmheating power800 W at 230 V (EU), 600 W at 115 V (US)Heating temperature range20 to 300 °CHeating controlPIDDisplayLCD displayTemperature measurement accuracy±0.2 K plus Pt1000 toleranceTemperature measurement resolution1 KDisplay and measurement range with Pt100015 to 325 °CProtection class (EN 60529)IP42Sound pressure levelless than 50 dB(A)Rated voltage230 V, 50/60 Hz (EU), 115 V, 50/60 Hz (US)Power consumptionNormal operation 825 W (EU) / 625 W (US), standby 1.7 WScope of deliveryHei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core+ magnetic stirrer, 145 mm base area, order number 506-21100-00Pt1000 temperature sensor (V4A), order number 509-67910-00The mounting bracket and silicone cover are not included with this order number; they are part of the more comprehensive Sensor Advanced package.Regulatory informationThe devices in this package are electrical appliances within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).

IKA C-MAG HS 7 magnetic stirrer package with heating, glass-ceramic base plate, including ETS-D5, 0010016454
The IKA C-MAG HS 7 Package magnetic stirrer with integrated heating represents a highly advanced, thermomechanical system solution for the precise mixing, heating and controlled temperature regulation of liquids in chemical, pharmaceutical and university laboratories. Designed as a high-performance complete system, this setup is validated for continuous stirring tasks up to a volume of 10 litres (based on water). For demanding thermal syntheses, the digestion of aggressive media or sample preparation, the precise interplay between high thermal energy input and a completely chemical-resistant work surface is the primary criterion for guaranteeing reliable experimental procedures that are gentle on the material and ensure process reliability. Highly chemically resistant glass-ceramic heating plate and powerful drive The process engineering foundation of the unit is the square heating plate (180 x 180 mm) made from seamless, high-quality glass-ceramic. This choice of material ensures unrivalled chemical resilience against extremely aggressive acids, alkalis and high-purity solvents. Furthermore, the non-porous glass surface enables gentle, residue-free cleaning. With a powerful heating output of 1,000 watts, the system achieves extremely short heat-up times to a plate temperature of 500 degrees Celsius. The integrated motor covers a wide speed range from 100 to 1,500 revolutions per minute and, thanks to strong magnetic coupling, reliably keeps the magnetic stir bar on track even with more viscous solutions. Precise temperature control via the integrated ETS-D5 contact thermometer The standout feature of the “Package” version is the IKA ETS-D5 electronic contact thermometer included as standard. The precision sensor is connected directly to the magnetic stirrer’s electronics via the integrated DIN 12878 socket. The sensor is immersed gently into the sample medium and reports the actual temperature in real time. This mechatronic control loop enables highly precise temperature control directly within the liquid, with outstanding control accuracy of ±0.5 K. Thermodynamic overshoots and unwanted overheating of sensitive samples are thus effectively eliminated during day-to-day field use. Ergonomic housing design and uncompromising health and safety The structural safety of the C-MAG HS 7 complies with strict GLP guidelines for long-term laboratory operation. The user interface features a raised control panel, which reliably protects the underlying electronics and displays from dripping or spilled liquids. An easy-to-read digital LED display accurately shows the set target temperature, whilst a digital error code mode immediately visualises any malfunctions. The integrated ‘Hot Top’ warning indicator ensures maximum occupational safety: a visual signal flashes for as long as the plate surface is heated to over 50 degrees Celsius – even after the unit has been switched off completely. A fixed safety cut-off at 550 degrees Celsius also prevents thermal damage to the heating mat.

IKA S 18 N - 19 G Dispersing tool, coarse, PTFE bearings, 10 to 1,500 ml, L004640
The IKA S 18 N – 19 G (L004640) is the standard tool for coarse dispersion tasks on the IKA T 18 series drives, such as the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX. The stainless steel tool covers a working range of 0.01 to 1.5 litres (10 to 1,500 millilitres, based on water) and is therefore the obvious choice for day-to-day sample preparation when rapid grinding and mixing are required. Toothed geometry for pre-grinding The letter G in the model designation stands for ‘coarse’. Unlike fine-grinding tools, the stator of this model features a coarsely serrated geometry with a gap width of 0.25 millimetres between the rotor and stator. This makes the S 18 N - 19 G the obvious choice for the pre-grinding of solid sample components, the mixing of pigments or fillers into coarse suspensions, and for viscous media that could clog finer tools. PTFE bearings for contact with aggressive media The rotor shaft is mounted in a PTFE bearing, as indicated by the letter ‘N’ in the model designation. PTFE is chemically almost inert, meaning the tool can be used with aggressive solvents, acids and alkalis without the bearing being affected. One important application note remains: PTFE bearings rely on the medium for lubrication and cooling; the tool must therefore not run dry, otherwise the resulting frictional heat will destroy the bearing. Hygiene and material quality Manufactured from electropolished AISI 316L stainless steel, the tool meets high hygiene standards. It is corrosion-resistant, durable and can be easily dismantled and sterilised for applications in the medical or microbiological fields, whether by chemical disinfection, dry heat or in an autoclave. This prevents cross-contamination between different sample batches. Typical applications According to the manufacturer, the S 18 N - 19 G is designed as a dispersing tool for the T 18 digital drive for volumes ranging from 10 to 1,500 millilitres. In practice, it is suitable for: Preliminary grinding of solid components in liquid samples Coarse suspensions containing pigments or fillers Viscous media that would be too viscous for finer tools Sample preparation with high requirements for chemical resistance Selection guide within the tool range In addition to the coarse version described here, LT Laborhandel stocks further tools for the T-18 drives with different gap geometries or made from different materials. The S 18 N - 10 G, with a narrower gap width, is suitable for finer end products; for single-use requirements and applications where no cleaning is required between samples, the plastic tools S 18 D - 10 G - KS and S 18 D - 14 G - KS are available.

Compatible drives The S 18 N - 19 G is designed for use with several drives in the T-18 range: the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX, as well as the T 18 digital Solution and T 18 mini digital Solution complete sets, which already include this tool. According to the manufacturer’s compatibility information, it is also compatible with the brushless drives T 18 brushless digital ULTRA-TURRAX, T 18 brushless digital Solution and the compact T 18 mini digital ULTRA-TURRAX. Use, maintenance and disposal Before first use, the tool should be securely screwed onto the drive unit and checked to ensure it is firmly in place. During operation, the tool must remain fully submerged in the medium at all times; the immersion depth ranges from 35 to 170 millimetres, depending on the container. After use, the tool can be detached from the drive unit for cleaning and, depending on requirements, chemically disinfected, treated with dry heat or autoclaved. As an accessory to an electrical appliance, the end-of-life tool must not be disposed of with household waste, but must be disposed of properly together with the associated drive unit. Individual requirements & procurement service Do you require a tool for finer emulsions, a spare part or assistance in selecting the appropriate gap geometry for your sample? Through our procurement service, LT Laborhandel can assist you with procurement and compatibility enquiries. Frequently Asked Questions Which drives is the S 18 N - 19 G suitable for?It is suitable for the T-18 drive family, including the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX and the T-18 brushless drives. What do the letters G and N in the name mean?G stands for the coarse-toothed stator geometry, and N for the PTFE bearing on the rotor shaft. Can I use the tool with solvents?Yes, the PTFE bearing is virtually chemically inert and suitable for aggressive solvents, acids and alkalis, provided the tool does not run dry. Is the tool autoclavable?Yes, according to the manufacturer, it can be sterilised using all standard methods, including autoclaving.
IKA T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX disperser, tool-free drive unit, 500 W, 0003720000
Anyone who frequently homogenises samples in the laboratory will be familiar with the problem: a good drive alone is not enough; ultimately, it is the right tool that determines the final fineness and throughput. The IKA T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX (0003720000) is designed precisely with this in mind. It is supplied as a drive unit only, with a power consumption of 500 watts, which can be freely combined with various S-18 tools for coarse, fine or single-use applications. The LED display shows the set speed – between 3,000 and 25,000 revolutions per minute – at all times, which facilitates reproducible results across multiple test runs. Rotor-stator principle with high shear rates During dispersion, the tool draws the sample in axially and forces it out radially through the narrow slots between the rotor and stator. This briefly generates very high shear rates, which break down solid components and mix liquids into stable emulsions or suspensions. With an output power of 300 watts and a processable volume of 0.001 to 1.5 litres (based on water), the T 18 digital covers typical laboratory batches up to a maximum viscosity of 5,000 mPas. Stepless speed control with LED display The speed can be adjusted continuously between 3,000 and 25,000 rpm, with a deviation of just 1 per cent according to the data sheet. Unlike purely analogue controllers, the LED display shows the set value directly. Once process parameters have been determined, they can be noted down and reproduced exactly for subsequent experiments. With a permissible duty cycle of 100 per cent, prolonged continuous operation is also possible without the drive having to pause in between. The choice of tool determines the result The T 18 digital is deliberately supplied without a dispersing tool, as the most suitable tool depends heavily on the specific sample. The standard S 18 N – 19 G tool with PTFE bearings is suitable for coarse pre-shredding and tougher media, whilst the S 18 N – 10 G offers a narrower gap geometry for finer end products. Those who frequently work with varying samples that are potentially susceptible to contamination will find disposable plastic tools to be a practical alternative, as they rule out cross-contamination between batches from the outset. Typical areas of application As a standalone drive unit, the T 18 digital is particularly suitable for laboratories that already work with a variety of tools or switch specifically between several applications: Preparation of emulsions and suspensions in sample preparation Homogenisation of tissue samples in biology and life sciences research Mixing pigments and fillers into dispersions Routine tasks in quality assurance with varying tool configurations Setting up customised workstations through flexible combination with a stand and tool Selection guide for the T-18 range Drive unit only, complete set or just the tool? The four T-18 variants stocked by LT Laborhandel differ primarily in terms of what is included in the scope of delivery and, in the case of the mini-drive, in terms of motor power.

Differences from the neighbouring series If you also require a brushless motor with a timer, the IKA T 18 brushless series offers the next step up: the T 18 brushless digital ULTRA-TURRAX as a drive unit without an attachment, or the T 18 brushless digital Solution as a complete set. Both drive units operate with lower wear than the classic T 18 digital. An overview of all dispersers available from LT Laborhandel can be found in the ‘Dispersers’ category; suitable tools are listed under ‘Dispersing Tools’. Application, set-up and maintenance For short-term manual operation, the T 18 digital fits comfortably in the hand; for longer or reproducible processes, it can be securely mounted on a stand, such as the R 1826 plate stand. Operation is permitted at an ambient temperature of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of up to 80 per cent at 31 degrees Celsius, decreasing linearly to a maximum of 50 per cent at 40 degrees Celsius. The drive, with protection class IP 20, is not designed for use in damp rooms or outdoors. After each use, the tool used should be dismantled and, depending on the material, cleaned or sterilised before the next procedure begins. At the end of its service life, as an electrical appliance, the drive must not be disposed of with household waste but must be placed in the separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment. Individual requirements & procurement service In addition to the standard tools, LT Laborhandel supplies further accessories for the T 18 digital, such as stands, mounting elements or the Silentstream flow breaker to reduce air ingress during dispersion. Do you require a specific tool, a qualification document or assistance in selecting the right configuration? Through our procurement service, LT Laborhandel can assist you with procurement and configuration. Frequently Asked Questions Is a dispersing tool included in the scope of delivery?No, the T 18 digital is supplied exclusively as a drive unit. A suitable tool, such as the S 18 N - 19 G, must be purchased separately. Which tool is suitable for coarse pre-grinding?For coarse applications and tougher media, the S 18 N - 19 G with PTFE bearings is the standard choice; finer end products can be achieved with the S 18 N - 10 G. How accurately can the speed be reproduced?The LED display shows the set value within a range of 3,000 to 25,000 rpm with a deviation of around 1 per cent, which facilitates the exact repetition of test series. Is a stand included in the scope of delivery?No; for continuous operation, we recommend a separately available stand such as the R 1826 plate stand. What is the difference between the T 18 digital and the T 18 mini digital Solution?The T 18 mini digital Solution features a more compact, brushless drive with lower motor power and comes as a set including the tool and stand; the T 18 digital described here is the more powerful drive unit without accessories.
IKA T 18 digital Solution Disperser Set, including tool and stand, 0009024700
For those who want to get started straight away, without having to assemble the drive, tool and stand individually first, the IKA T 18 digital Solution (0009024700) offers a fully coordinated complete package. The set combines the tried-and-tested T 18 digital drive with the standard S 18 N - 19 G dispersing tool and a sturdy plate stand complete with cross-sleeve, all ready for use straight out of the box. Everything included for an immediate start Instead of ordering four separate items and checking whether they fit together, the Solution version supplies all components in a single package: Drive: IKA T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX with 500-watt power consumption Dispersing tool: S 18 N - 19 G with PTFE bearings for coarse to medium-duty applications Mounting: R 1826 plate stand including R 182 cross-sleeve for a stable, low-vibration base Digital speed control with LED display The speed range extends from 3,000 to 25,000 revolutions per minute, is infinitely variable and has a deviation of around 1 per cent according to the data sheet. The LED display shows the set value directly, so that once process parameters have been determined, they can be noted down and repeated for subsequent trials. With an output power of 300 watts, the drive can process samples with a viscosity of up to 5,000 mPas. With a permissible duty cycle of 100 per cent, the drive can also be operated continuously for longer process stages without the need to schedule a cooling break between batches. Tool S 18 N - 19 G ready for use The supplied tool covers a working range of 10 to 1,500 millilitres and, with its coarsely toothed geometry, is suitable for the pre-shredding of solid components as well as for more viscous media. The rotor shaft is mounted in PTFE, which is resistant to most solvents, acids and alkalis. Details on the design and limit values of the tool can be found in the separate S 18 N – 19 G dispersing tool data sheet. Interchangeable tool for different samples Even though the set is already equipped with a suitable tool, the drive remains compatible with the entire S-18 tool range. A quick-release coupling allows for tool changes without the need for a tool kit, meaning that, if required, a finer tool for smaller end products or a single-use tool for contamination-sensitive batches can be fitted. For day-to-day use with varying sample types, this is a significant advantage over a permanently fitted tool: the set covers the basics but grows in line with the laboratory’s requirements. Typical areas of application As a complete package, the T 18 digital Solution is particularly suitable for new purchases and the setting up of additional workstations: Re-equipping laboratory workstations without existing dispersion accessories Preparation of emulsions and suspensions in sample preparation Homogenisation of samples in quality control and routine analysis Teaching and training laboratories where a ready-to-use kit is required Brief overview within the T-18 range In addition to this set, LT Laborhandel stocks the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX drive (tool-free) for those who already own their own accessories, as well as the more compact T 18 mini digital Solution with a brushless drive and lower motor power for smaller work surfaces. Anyone wishing to reorder just the included tool separately can find it as the S 18 N - 19 G dispersing tool.

An overview of all dispersers available from LT Laborhandel can be found in the ‘Dispersers’ category. Application, installation and maintenance The supplied plate stand ensures a secure, low-vibration base even at high speeds and is particularly suitable for longer or unattended process stages. Operation is permitted at an ambient temperature of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of up to 80 per cent at 31 degrees Celsius, decreasing linearly to a maximum of 50 per cent at 40 degrees Celsius. The PTFE bearing of the supplied tool must not run dry; the medium serves both as lubrication and cooling. After use, the tool can be disconnected from the drive for cleaning or sterilisation, as can the stand, which can be detached again for the next configuration. At the end of its service life, the drive, as an electrical appliance, must not be disposed of with household waste but must be placed in the separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment. When the complete set is worthwhile For laboratories that do not yet own a T-18 drive, the set saves time on ordering and compatibility checks compared to purchasing the drive, tool and stand separately. On the other hand, those who already have a suitable stand or several tools and only require an additional drive may find it more cost-effective to opt for the separately available T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX without the set. For a second or third workstation with identical equipment, however, the complete set is once again the ideal choice, as it ensures that each station is equipped independently of the others. Individual requirements & procurement service For regulated environments where the introduction of equipment must be documented, LT Laborhandel also provides qualification documentation for the T 18 digital Solution, such as IQ/OQ documents, factory calibration certificates or general certificates in accordance with 2.2/3.1. Do you also require additional or alternative tools for abrasive or particularly viscous media, a second stand for an extra workstation, or assistance in selecting the right configuration? Through our procurement service, LT Laborhandel supports you with procurement and documentation. Frequently Asked Questions Is the T 18 digital Solution ready for immediate use?Yes, the drive, the S 18 N – 19 G dispersing tool and the plate stand are included in the set and are designed to work together. Which tool is included in the set?The S 18 N – 19 G with PTFE bearings, suitable for coarse pre-grinding and a working volume of 10 to 1,500 millilitres. How does the set differ from the T 18 digital drive sold separately?The T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX drive, available separately, is supplied without the tool or stand; the Solution Set already includes both components. Can I use a different tool instead of the one supplied?Yes, the drive is compatible with the entire S-18 range of tools, so finer or coarser variants can be retrofitted if required. Is the stand permanently attached to the drive?No, the drive, tool and stand can be detached from one another, for example for cleaning or for use at different workstations. Are qualification documents available for the set?Yes, LT Laborhandel can provide IQ/OQ documents, factory calibration certificates and general certificates in accordance with 2.2/3.1 for the T 18 digital Solution on request.
Heidolph Hei-PLATE Mix'n'Heat Core+ Magnetic Stirrer, Ø135 mm, Pt1000 Connection, 506-22100-00
If you need a slightly smaller hotplate for a reflux setup with a compact flask or for a space-saving multi-unit arrangement, the Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core+ in the 135-millimetre version offers the same digital functionality as the 145-millimetre variant, but with a more compact Kera-Disk footprint. The LCD display, dynamic rotary controls and the optional external Pt1000 sensor are identical; it heats up to 300 degrees Celsius at up to 1,400 revolutions per minute.Same technology, smaller footprintApart from the diameter of the base, this model is technically no different from the 145-millimetre version: the same housing with external dimensions of 168 x 101 x 299 millimetres, the same EC motor with a speed range of 100 to 1,400 revolutions per minute, and the same heating power of 800 watts at 230 volts (EU). Anyone wishing to set up several stirring stations side by side, or who works predominantly with smaller flasks and vessels, will benefit from the slightly smaller diameter of the 135-millimetre Kera-Disk, without compromising on speed or heating power.Two heating modes for different requirementsThe FAST heating mode brings the sample up to temperature quickly, whilst PRECISE then takes over for fine control without overshoot; both modes operate via the optional external Pt1000 sensor with an accuracy of ± 0.2 Kelvin and a resolution of 1 Kelvin. A lock function on the two dynamic rotary controls prevents accidental adjustment whilst tests are in progress; a visual residual heat warning lights up on the base when the temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius.Typical applicationsReflux set-ups with the Findenser Mini and a compact flaskSpace-saving multiple set-ups in smaller laboratories or fume cupboardsSyntheses with a defined heating ramp using the FAST and PRECISE modesTraining laboratories with limited floor spaceExpansion of existing Core+ workstations with a second, more compact unitLoad capacity and protection ratingWeighing around 3 kilograms, the base can still support set-ups weighing up to 25 kilograms. IP42 protection rating protects against foreign bodies larger than 1 mm and dripping water when tilted up to 15°; the sound pressure level remains below 50 dB(A). The patented Kera-Disk coating made of anodised aluminium is chemical-resistant and scratch-resistant, regardless of the selected diameter.Selection guide: 135 or 145 millimetresIf a larger work surface is required for larger flasks or additional accessories, the Hei-PLATE Mix’n’Heat Core+ (Ø145) is the better choice. Equipped directly with a Pt1000 sensor, the basic unit is available in the Hei-PLATE Sensor Basic Core+ package; for a complete reflux setup with the Findenser Mini, it is available in the Hei-PLATE Reflux Core+ Mini package.

IKA lab dancer Test Tube Shaker, Touch Function, 2800 rpm, 0003365000
Briefly mixing a single test tube before the sample goes into the photometer: for this, a whole orbital shaker does not have to start up and no speed has to be set. The IKA lab dancer is tailored to exactly this moment. The tube is pressed by hand against the rubber pad, the touch function immediately starts the circular motion, and on release it stops just as immediately. With a shaking stroke of 4.5 mm and a fixed speed of 2,800 revolutions per minute, the unit covers the classic vortex application for small vessels up to 30 mm in diameter, from test tubes through centrifuge tubes to microtubes. Touch operation for individual tubes Unlike a continuous-running unit with display and timer, the lab dancer has neither a speed display nor a timer. This is not a sacrifice but the concept behind it: anyone who briefly mixes several individual samples one after another, for example before a dilution series or between two pipetting steps, does not need to set any parameters. Press the tube down, wait a few seconds, done. The fixed speed of 2,800 rpm is strong enough for most routine tasks without any control being necessary. With a permissible duty cycle of 100 percent, several tubes can be processed directly one after another without the drive having to cool down in between. Compact design for the workstation At 100 x 70 x 100 mm and a weight of only 0.776 kg, the lab dancer takes up hardly any bench space and can be placed directly next to the centrifuge, pipette or photometer, where it is actually needed in the workflow. The power supply is via a supplied 12 V plug-in power supply, which handles input voltages of 100 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz. This allows the unit to be operated at practically any laboratory workstation without an additional voltage converter, even when moving between locations with different mains voltages. Less repetitive movement in everyday laboratory work Anyone who mixes many individual samples one after another every day often resorts to manual shaking by hand without a vortex mixer. The touch function of the lab dancer takes over this repetitive movement: pressing instead of shaking, across any number of individual samples with consistent intensity. This relieves the strain above all in series with many small batches, for example in sample preparation before a measurement series, and at the same time ensures more even mixing than by hand, because stroke and speed remain identical for every operation. Typical applications As a benchtop unit for the quick individual operation, the lab dancer finds its place above all where brief mixing is needed several times a day without a larger orbital shaker being worthwhile: Mixing reagents in test tubes before photometric measurement Resuspending cell pellets in centrifuge tubes after centrifugation Brief mixing of individual samples in routine analysis Homogenising small volumes in tubes between individual pipetting steps Dissolving reagent tablets or powder samples in small vessels Selection guide: which type of shaker is suitable lab dancer, Vortex 2 and ROCKER 3D digital cover three different types of movement at IKA. Which unit is suitable depends on whether individual tubes are to be mixed briefly, larger batches shaken in continuous operation, or sensitive samples moved gently.

For this, LT Laborhandel carries the IKA hula dancer series, for example the hula dancer basic or the hula dancer digital with adjustable speed. Both are intended for larger, flat set-ups instead of individual small vessels. An overview of all mixers, stirrers and shakers in the range is offered by the category Mixers, stirrers and shakers. Application, installation and maintenance The lab dancer is designed for operation at 5 to 40 °C and a relative humidity of up to 80 percent, and protection class IP 40 protects against larger foreign objects but not against splashing water. A dry, level laboratory bench within reach of the other work steps is sufficient as a location, and a stand or fixed mounting is not necessary. Maintenance is essentially limited to cleaning the rubber pad on which the tubes rest, especially after contact with aggressive or staining reagents, to avoid carry-over between different samples. Since the unit stands directly on the work surface without a stand, a fixed, easily accessible place near the rest of the sample preparation is worthwhile, so that reaching for the lab dancer does not become a work step of its own. At the end of its service life, the unit as small electrical equipment belongs in the separate collection of waste electrical equipment and not in household waste. Individual requirements & procurement service Factory calibration certificates and qualification documents (IQ/OQ) are available for the lab dancer, for example for laboratories with documented equipment testing. Do you need one of these documents, an additional plug-in power supply as a spare part or support in choosing between lab dancer, Vortex 2 and ROCKER 3D digital for your specific application? Through our procurement service , LT Laborhandel supports you with procurement and configuration. Frequently asked questions For which vessels is the lab dancer suitable?For small vessels up to 30 mm diameter, such as test tubes, centrifuge tubes and tubes. Can the speed be set?No, the lab dancer runs at a fixed speed of 2,800 rpm. Anyone who needs an adjustable speed between 500 and 2,500 rpm will find it in the Vortex 2. Is a power supply included in the scope of delivery?Yes, the lab dancer is supplied with a 12 V plug-in power supply for 100 to 240 V, so a separate purchase is not necessary. How is the lab dancer operated?Via the touch function: the tube is pressed against the rubber pad, which starts the circular motion, and on release it stops again immediately. Is the unit suitable for continuous operation?The permissible duty cycle is 100 percent, but the touch principle is designed for short individual operations. For genuine continuous operation with several attachments, the Vortex 2 is the more suitable choice. What protection class does the lab dancer have?IP 40 according to DIN EN 60529, suitable for normal laboratory operation, not for damp rooms or splash areas. Can several tubes be mixed at the same time?The lab dancer is designed for one vessel per operation, and the permissible shaking load of 0.1 kg corresponds to the weight of a filled small vessel up to 30 mm in diameter.
IKA C-MAG HS 7 Magnetic Stirrer with Heating, Ceramic Work Surface 180 x 180 mm, 10 Litre, 0003581200
For the daily preparation of buffers, the heating of smaller volumes or simple reflux experiments, a laboratory does not need a full-featured device, but a stirring and heating device that runs reliably and can be operated after a brief introduction. The IKA C-MAG HS 7 (0003581200) combines a 1000-watt ceramic heating plate with a magnetic stirrer for up to 10 litres of water and thus covers a large part of routine laboratory work, without having to pay for the additional functions of a control version. Ceramic work surface for fast, direct heat transfer The 180 x 180 millimetre ceramic work surface transfers the heating power of 1000 watts directly to the vessel and covers a heating temperature range of 50 to 500 degrees Celsius, set via a simple rotary knob with a setting accuracy of 5 kelvin. A fixed safety circuit switches off the heating at a plate temperature of 550 degrees Celsius regardless of the selected setpoint temperature, an additional mechanical protection against overheating of the device itself. The setpoint temperature is shown on an LED display, so that the current setting remains legible even from some distance. Stirring up to 10 litres with continuously adjustable speed The stirring drive covers a speed range of 100 to 1500 revolutions per minute, set via a six-step scale. Stirring bars up to 80 millimetres in length can be used, and the maximum stirring capacity is 10 litres of water. Stirring and heating functions are operated via two separate controls and work independently of each other, so the device can also be used for stirring only, without heating. With a permissible load of 15 kilograms, the work surface also supports larger vessels together with accessories such as reflux condensers or stand material. Expandable with external temperature measurement in the medium Via the connection socket for external temperature sensors according to DIN 12878, a contact thermometer such as the IKA ETS-D5 can be retrofitted if required, in order to measure the temperature directly in the medium instead of only at the plate surface. The sensor is not included in the scope of delivery of the C-MAG HS 7 itself; anyone who needs it from the start will find a version in the C-MAG HS 7 Package that already includes ETS-D5 and stand accessories. Typical applications As a robust entry-level device for stirring and heating, the C-MAG HS 7 is technically suited for: Preparing and homogenising buffer and reagent solutions up to 10 litres Heating and stirring in sample preparation in routine laboratories Simple reflux experiments and dissolution experiments in training and further education Quality control with recurring, uncritical temperature profiles Second device for workstations where no documented medium temperature is required Selection guide within the C-MAG series IKA grades the C-MAG family by the combination of stirring and heating (HS) or heating only (HP), by plate size 4, 7 or 10, and by the level of equipment from the analogue scale to the control version with interfaces. The following table places the C-MAG HS 7 in relation to its closest siblings: ModelStirringStirring capacity (H2O)Heating powerOperation C-MAG HS 7 (this device)yes, 100 to 1500 rpm10 l1000 WAnalogue scale, LED setpoint temperature C-MAG HS 7 controlyes, 50 to 1500 rpm20 l1000 WLCD, PT1000/ETS-D5/ETS-D6, RS232, USB C-MAG HS 10yes, 100 to 1500 rpm15 l1500 WAnalog scale, LED setpoint temperature, plate 260 x 260 mm C-MAG HP 7no, heating plate only10 l1000 WAnalogue scale, LED setpoint temperature Anyone who regularly exceeds 10 litres or switches more often between different volumes is better served by the C-MAG HS 10 or the control version. If only heating is required and stirring is already done elsewhere, the pure heating plate C-MAG HP 7 saves purchase costs. Differences from the nearest C-MAG models The IKA C-MAG HS 7 control offers the same heating power, but a larger stirring capacity of 20 litres, a digital LCD display, automatic reversal of the direction of rotation, timer and interfaces for RS232 and USB, ideal when processes are to be documented or controlled via Labworldsoft. The IKA C-MAG HS 10 retains the simple analogue operation of the HS 7, but brings a larger 260 x 260 millimetre plate and 1500 watts of heating power for larger batches. Anyone who needs the ETS-D5 sensor, stand material and stirring bars directly in a set will find this in the IKA C-MAG HS 7 Package. For smaller batches of up to 5 litres, the IKA C-MAG HS 4 is additionally available in the series.

Use, installation, maintenance and disposal With degree of protection IP 21, the C-MAG HS 7 is protected against vertically falling drip water and designed for operation under the fume hood or on a level, stable laboratory bench at up to 80 percent relative humidity. The ceramic surface is chemical-resistant, but should cool before cleaning, since the self-heating of the work surface rises by up to 2 kelvin when stirring for an hour at room temperature and acts in addition to the set heating temperature. The fixed safety circuit at 550 degrees Celsius protects against unintentional overheating, but does not replace the usual visual inspection of the mains cable and housing before each use. At the end of its service life, the device does not belong in household waste as electrical equipment but in separate waste electrical equipment collection; the manufacturer's WEEE registration number is DE 66784213. Investment logic: stirring capacity, vessel size and when more equipment pays off For most routine batches between 250 millilitres and a few litres, the combination of 10 litres stirring capacity and 1000 watts of heating power of the C-MAG HS 7 is comfortably sufficient, as long as the setpoint temperature at the plate surface is adequate for the application. As soon as a process needs a reliable temperature measured in the medium itself, for example with defined reaction endpoints or sensitive batches, the investment in an external temperature sensor via the ETS-D5 socket is worthwhile, or switching straight to the control version with documentable control. Anyone who regularly works beyond 10 litres should weigh the additional cost of the C-MAG HS 10 or the C-MAG HS 7 control against the effort of constantly working at the capacity limit. Individual requirements & procurement service For the C-MAG HS 7, suitable original accessories such as the ETS-D5 contact thermometer, stand material, protective covers and further magnetic stirring bars are available on request. Through our procurement service we also support you with spare parts, calibrations and the compilation of several workstations with uniform accessories. Further information and contact options can be found at lt-laborhandel.com/service. Frequently asked questions Can the C-MAG HS 7 also be used for stirring only, without heating?Yes, speed and heating temperature are set via two separate controls and work independently of each other. How accurate is the temperature control?Without an external sensor, the heating temperature at the plate is controlled with a setting accuracy of 5 kelvin. For more accurate control directly in the medium, the ETS-D5 connection socket according to DIN 12878 is available. Which stirring bars are included in the scope of delivery?Three IKAFLON magnetic stirring bars of 20, 30 and 40 millimetres, suitable for bar lengths up to 80 millimetres. What happens if the heating plate gets too hot?A fixed safety circuit switches off the heating at a plate temperature of 550 degrees Celsius, regardless of the setpoint temperature. How does the C-MAG HS 7 differ from the C-MAG HS 7 control?The C-MAG HS 7 control offers a larger stirring capacity of 20 litres, a digital LCD display and interfaces for RS232 and USB, while the C-MAG HS 7 is operated via a simple analogue scale. How is the device disposed of properly?As electrical equipment, the C-MAG HS 7 falls under the WEEE Directive and belongs at a waste electrical equipment collection point, not in household waste. The manufacturer's registration number is given in the section Use, installation, maintenance and disposal.
IKA RW 20 digital Mechanical Stirrer, 20 Litre, 2 Speed Ranges, LED, 0003593000
Promotional item of the IKA Specials Q4/2026, valid until 31 December 2026. The struck-through price is IKA's recommended retail price. Our promotional price is net.The IKA RW 20 digital stirrer (MPN 0003593000) is the digital further development of the proven RW 20 series and combines a mechanically controlled drive with an LED digital display for the speed. Anyone who regularly has to move stirring volumes of up to 20 litres of water in the laboratory and wants to switch between powerful, low-speed and fast, high-speed stirring will find a robust working tool for daily use here.Mechanical gearbox with two speed rangesThe RW 20 digital has a gearbox with two speed ranges that is switched manually by lever. Range I covers 60 to 500 rpm and delivers a high torque of up to 150 Ncm at the stirring shaft, suitable for highly viscous media of up to 10,000 mPas, pastes or larger volumes. Range II extends from 240 to 2,000 rpm and is suitable for low-viscosity media and fast dispersing. At a mains frequency of 50 hertz, the ranges are 60 to 500 rpm (range I) and 240 to 2,000 rpm (range II), and at 60 hertz correspondingly 72 to 600 rpm and 288 to 2,400 rpm. The maximum torque at the stirring shaft is 150 Ncm at 100 rpm and falls to 24 Ncm at 1,000 rpm; for a short time, an overload of up to 300 Ncm is even permissible at 60 1/min.Precision through LED digital displayWhile power transmission is mechanical, the integrated LED digital display on the front of the unit ensures a speed that can be read at any time and is reproducible. Setting is continuous, the setting accuracy is ±1 rpm, and the deviation of the speed measurement is ±30 rpm. The nominal torque of the drive is 1.5 Nm at a power consumption of 70 watts and an output power of 35 watts. The unit is designed for continuous operation at 100 percent duty cycle.Pass-through hollow shaft for flexible height adjustmentA practical detail in everyday laboratory work is the pass-through stirring shaft (hollow shaft) with an internal diameter of 10.5 millimetres. It makes it possible to adjust the height of the stirring tool in the chuck (clamping range 0.5 to 10 millimetres) without having to realign the entire stirrer on the stand. The shaft is adjusted at standstill only. The boss rod for mounting on the stand has a diameter of 13 millimetres and a length of 160 millimetres.Typical applicationsWith its high torque in the lower speed range and a stirring volume of up to 20 litres, the RW 20 digital is technically suited for:Universal stirring tasks in the laboratory with changing batch sizesHomogenising and dispersing medium-viscosity to higher-viscosity media of up to 10,000 mPasTeaching and industrial laboratories with frequently changing usersRoutine operation in which it is necessary to switch between powerful and fast stirringSelection guide: stirring mechanically or electronicallyWithin the IKA stirrer range, the RW 20 digital described here, with its mechanically controlled drive, is contrasted by the compact NANOSTAR 7.5 digital with electronic BLDC control. For stirring volumes of up to 20 litres, high torque in the lower speed range and robust continuous operation, the RW 20 digital is the right choice. If, on the other hand, no more than 5 litres are moved and a particularly compact, electronically controlled design is required, for example in tight space conditions in a fume hood, the NANOSTAR 7.5 digital is the more space-saving alternative.Differences from larger models of the RW seriesIf a stirring volume of 20 litres is not sufficient for the planned batch, IKA continues the mechanical RW series in larger sizes: the RW 28 digital for stirring volumes of up to 80 litres and the RW 47 digital for stirring volumes of up to 200 litres. For the majority of laboratory applications with batches of up to 20 litres, the RW 20 digital described here remains the more compact and more economical choice.Technical detailsMax. stirring volume (H2O)20 lMax. viscosity10,000 mPasSpeed controlmechanicalSpeed range I / II60 to 500 rpm / 240 to 2,000 rpm (at 50 Hz)Speed range I / II (60 Hz)72 to 600 rpm / 288 to 2,400 rpmSpeed setting methodcontinuousSetting accuracy / speed deviation±1 rpm / ±30 rpmSpeed displayLEDMotor power, input / output70 W / 35 WNominal torque1.5 NmMax. torque at the stirring shaft150 Ncm (at 100 rpm), 300 Ncm overload at 60 1/minTorque at the stirring shaft at 1,000 rpm24 NcmMax. power at the stirring shaft26 WPermissible duty cycle100 %Stirring tool mountingChuck, clamping range 0.5 to 10 mmHollow shaft, internal diameter10.5 mm, pass-through at standstillStand mountingBoss rod, Ø 13 mm, length 160 mmProtection classIP 20 according to DIN EN 60529Dimensions (W x H x D)88 x 294 x 212 mmWeight3.1 kgConnection values220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 72 W (other voltage variants 100 to 115 V available)Scope of delivery1 x RW 20 digital1 x chuck keyA stand and a cross clamp for mounting as well as a suitable stirring tool are required for operation but are not included in the scope of delivery.Use, installation, maintenance and disposalAccording to protection class IP 20, the RW 20 digital is protected against solid foreign objects from 12.5 millimetres, and contact with splashing water must be avoided. The switching lever for the two speed ranges should only be operated with the motor stopped, as should the height adjustment of the pass-through hollow shaft in the chuck. For a secure stand, a sufficiently heavy stand with a stable cross clamp is recommended, especially when using the high torque in the lower speed range. At the end of its service life, the unit as electrical equipment does not belong in household waste but in the separate collection of waste electrical equipment.Individual requirements & procurement serviceOperating the RW 20 digital requires a stand (for example an IKA base plate stand), a suitable cross clamp and a stirring tool matched to the application, for example propeller, turbine, anchor or dissolver stirrers. A stirring shaft guard or a quick-release chuck can also be added if required. Through our procurement service , LT Laborhandel will gladly put together a suitable stirring set-up for you from our range of stirring and mixing technology .Frequently asked questionsIs a stand included in the scope of delivery?No, a stand, cross clamp and stirring tool are required for operation but are not included in the scope of delivery.What is the maximum stirring volume possible with the RW 20 digital?Up to 20 litres of water, at a maximum permissible viscosity of 10,000 mPas.How do you switch between the two speed ranges?Via a mechanical lever on the front of the unit, which should only be operated with the motor stopped.Can the stirring tool be adjusted in height without moving the stand?Yes, via the pass-through hollow shaft in the chuck, adjustable at standstill.Is there an electronically controlled model as an alternative?For more compact applications of up to 5 litres, the electronically controlled NANOSTAR 7.5 digital is suitable.What happens if the stirring shaft is overloaded?For a short time, an overload of up to 300 Ncm at the stirring shaft is permissible at 60 1/min; beyond that, the load should be reduced.
IKA EUROSTAR 20 digital Overhead Stirrer, up to 25 l, 40 Ncm, 0020105154
Twenty-five litres of water at a torque of 40 Ncm characterise the lowest power setting of IKA’s current EUROSTAR digital generation. According to the manufacturer, the compact housing requires up to 23 per cent less floor space than its predecessors, whilst the LCD display shows speed, the timer and a torque trend simultaneously. For standard laboratories that regularly stir small to medium-sized batches and require cleanroom compatibility, the EUROSTAR 20 digital is the entry-level model in the range. The electronics are microprocessor-controlled and maintain the set speed even if the viscosity of the sample changes during the stirring process.Mechanics and tool changeThe brushless DC motor draws 70 watts and delivers up to 22 watts to the stirring shaft, with a duty cycle of 100 per cent in continuous operation. The speed ranges from 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute; the maximum torque of 40 Ncm decreases linearly to 20 Ncm at higher speeds. This performance is therefore sufficient for samples up to 10,000 mPas. The Quick Sense Keyless Chuck replaces the traditional chuck key; stirring shafts from 0.5 to 10 mm can be changed with one hand. The hollow shaft, with an internal diameter of 11 mm, can be inserted whilst the unit is stationary, which is practical for stirring elements that are inserted from above.Cleanroom-compatible and protectedWith a noise level of 52 dB(A) without a stirring tool, the EUROSTAR 20 digital achieves ISO cleanroom class 7 at 900 rpm and class 8 at 1,800 rpm, which is relevant for pharmaceutical, biotech and electronics laboratories. The housing, made of coated cast aluminium and thermoplastic, is chemical-resistant and protected against dust and splashing water in accordance with IP 54. A lock button prevents accidental adjustment during cleaning; the unit switches off automatically if the stirring tool becomes blocked or when the torque limit is reached. USB-C and RS232 interfaces connect the stirrer to IKA’s labworldsoft, the measurement and control software that allows speed and time profiles to be documented.Typical applicationsHomogenisation of small to medium batches up to 25 lStirring of low- to medium-viscosity samples in Class 7 or 8 cleanroomsMixing tasks in research and development with documented speed curvesRoutine laboratory work involving frequent tool changes without the need for a chuck keySelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range: ‘digital’ versions with LCD or LED displays, and ‘control’ versions with a detachable WiCo controller, TFT display and PT1000 temperature measurement.

IKA RT 15 Multi-position Magnetic Stirrer with Heating, 15 Stirring Positions in a 90 Mm Grid, 0003692600
Anyone who regularly stirs a whole series of identical samples in parallel, for example, in quality control, in series of experiments or in laboratory classrooms with many groups working simultaneously, will quickly reach the limits of space and cost when using individual magnetic stirrers. The IKA RT 15 (0003692600) accommodates 15 heated stirring positions in a 90-millimetre grid, driven by a single coil drive instead of 15 individual motors, with a speed deviation of 0 per cent between the positions. Shared coil drive instead of individual motors Unlike 15 separate magnetic stirrers, the RT 15 operates using silent coil drive technology that powers all 15 stirring positions simultaneously. According to the data sheet, the speed variation between the individual positions is 0 per cent; all positions therefore run synchronously at the same set speed of 0 to 1,000 revolutions per minute, adjustable in increments of 10 revolutions per minute. 15 stirring positions in a uniform 90-millimetre grid The base, made from an aluminium alloy, measures 270 x 495 millimetres and is designed to accommodate 15 standard vessels in a 90-millimetre grid. Up to 0.4 l of water is provided per stirring position; in total, the unit can carry a maximum load of 15 kilograms. Stirring rods measuring 25 to 30 millimetres in length are suitable for the individual positions. Heating function with a total power output of 580 watts The integrated heating system covers a temperature range from room temperature to 120 degrees Celsius, with a total heating power of 580 watts for all 15 positions combined. The safety limit can be set between 50 and 150 degrees Celsius. A silicone mat supplied with the unit protects the surface on which it is placed and, according to the manufacturer, ensures optimised temperature distribution across the heating zones. Silent drive with no mechanical wear The coil drive technology generates the rotating field for all 15 positions electronically, without any mechanically moving drive elements such as belts or gears at each stirring point. This not only reduces noise levels during continuous operation but also minimises maintenance requirements compared to a bench comprising 15 individual, mechanically driven stirrers, where each motor has its own wear parts. Typical applications With synchronously operating multiple stations, the RT 15 is ideally suited for: Parallel batch tests with identical stirring and heating parameters across 15 batches Quality control with recurring sample series in routine laboratories Training laboratories where several workstations are required to operate simultaneously at the same speed Solution preparation for sample series of up to 0.4 l per station A space-saving alternative to several individual heated magnetic stirrers Selection guide: single-station or multi-station stirrer Anyone who regularly stirs more than three to four identical batches in parallel should weigh up the cost of a multi-station stirrer against that of several individual units: ModelStirring positionsHeatingStirring capacity per stationPower supply RT 15 (this unit)15Yes, 580 W0.4 l230 V mains voltage RT 1010Yes, 375 W0.4 l230 V mains voltage RO 1010No0.4 l24 V, external power supply If heating is required in addition to stirring, the RT series is the right choice. If stirring alone without heating is sufficient, the RO series with its 24-volt power supply saves on initial purchase costs and ongoing electricity costs. For smaller batches of up to 10 runs, the RT 10 is also available within the RT series, which requires fewer positions whilst maintaining the same grid layout. Differences between the RT 10 and RO 10 The most significant difference within the multi-station series lies between the RT and RO models: The IKA RT 10 shares the same heating function and 230-volt mains voltage as the RT 15, but offers only 10 stirring positions instead of 15, with a correspondingly lower heating power of 375 watts instead of 580 watts. The IKA RO 10 does not have a heating function at all and is instead powered by an external 24-volt power supply; this is the key factor in the purchasing decision: those who only need to stir, but do not need to heat, are better served by the RO series.

Use, installation, maintenance and disposal With an IP 40 protection rating, the RT 15 is protected against solid foreign objects from 1 millimetre in size; however, it is not splash-proof. Accordingly, the unit should be operated on a dry, level surface and not in the immediate vicinity of sources of splashing water. The supplied silicone mat should be checked regularly for damage and cleaned if necessary, as it protects against both mechanical contact and uneven heat distribution. Before moving the device, which, at 10.5 kilograms, is comparatively heavy, it should be allowed to cool down and disconnected from the mains. At the end of its service life, as an electrical appliance, the device must not be disposed of with household waste but must be placed in the separate collection scheme for waste electrical and electronic equipment; the manufacturer’s WEEE registration number is DE 66784213. Business case: Multi-position stirrer versus multiple individual units For batch processing involving many small, similar batches of up to 0.4 l per position, the RT 15 is generally more cost-effective than 15 individual heated magnetic stirrers, both in terms of purchase cost and in terms of space required on the laboratory bench and cabling requirements, as only a single mains cable is required instead of 15 individual connections. The 0 per cent speed deviation between stations also ensures comparable results across all positions, an advantage over multiple individual units with potentially slightly differing calibration. If, on the other hand, only a few samples need to be processed in parallel or larger stirring volumes per vessel are required, individual C-MAG or RCT/RET units with a higher stirring volume per position are the more suitable choice. Individual requirements and procurement service Suitable original accessories are available for the RT 15 as required, such as magnetic stirring bars in various shapes, beaker lids, a stirring bar remover and power cables for different country variants (EU, USA, UK, Switzerland). Through our procurement service, we also assist you with spare parts and the standardisation of equipment across multiple production workstations. Further information and contact details can be found at lt-laborhandel.com/service. Frequently Asked Questions Do all 15 stirring stations really operate at the same speed?Yes, according to the data sheet, the speed variation between the stations is 0 per cent, made possible by the shared coil drive rather than individual motors. Can each stirring station be heated individually?According to the data sheet, the heating power of 580 watts is specified for all stations combined; all stations share the same setpoint temperature. How does the RT 15 differ from the RO 10?The RT 15 heats and operates on a 230-volt mains supply, whilst the RO 10 does not have a heating function and is powered by an external 24-volt power supply; however, it offers only 10 stirring positions instead of 15. What is the maximum size of a stirring vessel per position?According to the data sheet, up to 0.4 l of water per stirring position is permitted; the spacing between positions is 90 millimetres, which is sufficient for standard test tubes and small beakers. Are stirring rods included in the scope of delivery?No, the RT 15 is supplied without stirring rods for the 15 stirring positions; suitable PTFE-coated magnetic rods in various shapes are available separately from the IKA range of accessories. Is the RT 15 suitable for continuous operation with multiple parallel batches?The silent coil drive technology, which does not use individual mechanical motors, is designed for long-term, low-maintenance continuous operation. How does the RT 15 differ from the RT 10?The RT 15 offers 5 additional stirring positions and correspondingly higher heating power (580 instead of 375 watts), whilst otherwise featuring identical operating logic and the same 90-millimetre grid. How should the RT 15 be disposed of correctly?As an electrical appliance, it should be taken to a waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) collection point rather than disposed of with household waste; the manufacturer’s WEEE registration number is listed in the section on ‘Use, Installation, Maintenance and Disposal’.
IKA EUROSTAR 100 digital Overhead Stirrer, up to 100 l, 200 Ncm, 0020105157
One hundred litres of water and a peak torque of 200 Ncm elevate the EUROSTAR 100 digital into a performance class intended for larger-scale applications in pilot plants or process development. The housing shares the platform with the smaller EUROSTAR 20 digital; the same compact design here houses a significantly more powerful brushless motor. The LCD display shows speed, the timer and a torque trend; the device can be connected to labworldsoft via USB-C and RS232.Torque: peak value and continuous operationAccording to the manufacturer, the maximum torque of the EUROSTAR 100 digital is 200 Ncm; this value applies to short-term acceleration at 30 to 600 rpm for up to 20 minutes. In continuous operation between 600 and 1,300 rpm, the usable torque ranges from 120 to 100 Ncm; at speeds between 1,300 and 2,000 rpm, it drops further to 100 to 60 Ncm. Anyone stirring highly viscous media up to 70,000 mPas on a continuous basis should therefore base their calculations on the lower continuous value; the peak value is available for brief load peaks during start-up. The brushless DC motor draws 186 watts and delivers up to 136 watts to the stirring shaft.Operation and interfacesThe speed ranges from 30 to 2,000 revolutions per minute and can be adjusted continuously with an accuracy of ±1 rpm. The Quick Sense Keyless Chuck handles tool changes without a chuck key; stirring shafts from 0.5 to 10 mm fit into the chuck. The hollow shaft, with an internal diameter of 11 mm, can be inserted whilst the machine is stationary. With a noise level of 52 dB(A) without a mixing tool, the unit achieves ISO cleanroom class 7 at 900 rpm and class 8 at 1,800 rpm. The housing, made of coated cast aluminium and thermoplastic, is protected against dust and splashing water to IP 54; a lock button and automatic shut-off in the event of a blockage or when the torque limit is reached round off the safety features.Typical applicationsStirring large batches of up to 100 l in pilot plants and process developmentHigh-viscosity media up to 70,000 mPas in continuous operationStarting up viscous formulations with a brief increase in torqueMixing processes in ISO Class 7 or 8 cleanroomsSelection guide: the EUROSTAR series at a glanceSix EUROSTAR models make up IKA’s current range: ‘digital’ versions with LCD or LED displays, and ‘control’ versions with a detachable WiCo controller, TFT display and PT1000 temperature measurement.

IKA T 10 battery Complete Solution disperser set, including stand, up to 30,000 rpm, 0010015688
The T 10 battery Complete Solution complements the battery-powered T 10 battery ULTRA-TURRAX disperser by providing the equipment required for stationary operation on a laboratory bench. In addition to the dispersing tool, a cross-sleeve and a stand are included so that the unit can be secured in place during use.What else is included in the Complete SetThe drive unit and the S 10 N - 5 G dispersing tool are complemented by an H 44 cross-sleeve and an R 104 stand. This allows the disperser to be secured to the stand, keeping it in position during longer process steps without the need for someone to hold it in place continuously. For batch work on the laboratory bench, this is a significant improvement over manual operation alone.Same drive unit as the stand-alone modelThe technical specifications of the drive unit correspond to those of the separately available T 10 battery ULTRA-TURRAX: Continuously variable speed from 8,000 to 30,000 revolutions per minute, processable volume from 0.5 to 100 millilitres (H₂O), battery with 10.8 volts and 34.56 watt-hours of energy capacity, rechargeable via USB-C cable or charging clip.Stand for stationary operationThe R 104 stand, together with the H 44 cross-sleeve, holds the disperser in a fixed position above the vessel. This reduces strain on the hand when processing multiple samples in succession and ensures a more consistent immersion depth of the tool from sample to sample.Documentation for all set componentsThe set includes separate operating instructions for the stand, cross-sleeve and dispersing tool, in addition to the multilingual instructions for the drive unit itself. Anyone requiring multiple language versions during operation can access the relevant documents without having to make a separate enquiry.Change the tool size as requiredThe supplied S 10 N - 5 G tool covers a diameter of 5 millimetres. For larger or smaller sample quantities, a different tool from the same T-10 series – for example, with a diameter of 8 or 10 millimetres – can be attached via the quick-release coupling without having to change the stand or drive unit. The stand itself remains in place; only the tool head is changed.Typical applicationsStationary sample preparation on a laboratory bench with a stand mountBatch processing where the device is to remain in position between samplesAn entry-level model in the battery-powered T-10 series with a complete basic kitSelection guide: Complete, Portable or Tissue Safe?If you mainly work in a stationary setting and value having a stand and clamp, the Complete Solution is the right choice for you. For mobile use without a stand, the slimmer T 10 battery Portable Solution is sufficient. For tissue samples requiring sterile, single-use instruments, the T 10 battery Tissue Safe Solution is more suitable. If you only need the drive unit without accessories, order the T 10 battery ULTRA-TURRAX separately or, for mains operation, opt for the T 10 basic ULTRA-TURRAX.Technical detailsMotor power input / output30 W / 25 WProcessable volume (H₂O)0.5 to 100 mlMax. viscosity200 mPasSpeed range8,000 to 30,000 rpm, continuously variable (5 per cent deviation)Speed displayLCDMotor typebrushless, direct currentNoise level without tools65 dB(A)Boom diameter / boom length8 mm / 100 mmDuty cycleON 10 mins, OFF 5 minsTimerYes, LCD displayPermissible ambient temperature / humidity5 to 40 °C / 80 %Protection classIP 30 in accordance with DIN EN 60529USB interfaceUSB-CCharging input15 V =, max. 45 W, 3,000 mABattery typeCustom LiPo, 3 cells, type 18650-3S1PBattery capacity34.56 WhBattery voltage10.8 VBattery installationpermanently fittedDimensions (W x H x D) of drive unit53 x 239 x 70 mmWeight of drive unit0.5 kgIncluded tripod / cross-sleeveR 104 stand / H 44 cross-sleeveContentsT 10 battery ULTRA-TURRAX drive unit including permanently fitted batteryS 10 N - 5 G dispersing tool, reusable, stainless steel, 5 mmH 44 cross-coupling, ID no. 0002437700R 104 stand, ID No. 0003386000Regulatory informationThe drive unit in this set is an electrical appliance within the meaning of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG).

IKA Vortex 2 Orbital Shaker, 500 to 2500 rpm, Continuous Operation, 0025000258
Briefly tapping a tube or shaking a whole series of Erlenmeyer flasks for hours: the IKA Vortex 2 covers both with the same drive. As with a classic vortex mixer, the touch function responds to pressing down, and a switch additionally activates continuous operation, in which the unit keeps running without hand contact. The speed can be set continuously between 500 and 2,500 revolutions per minute using a scale from 0 to 6, and the set value is shown directly on the scale. With 39 watts power consumption, the Vortex 2 is considerably above the smaller lab dancer (1.2 watts) and is designed accordingly for higher load changes, for example when a heavier attachment together with a filled Erlenmeyer flask is moved over a longer period. Touch or continuous operation depending on the task For the quick individual operation, the Vortex 2 works like an ordinary test tube shaker: press the vessel down, the circular motion with a 4 mm shaking stroke starts, and releasing it stops the motion again. If continuous operation is activated instead, the unit keeps running continuously at the set speed, for example while an incubation time elapses or several flasks are loaded one after another. The permissible duty cycle of 100 percent allows this continuous operation without breaks. Which mode is active is decided solely by the switch on the unit, so changing between the two operating modes costs no conversion time and no separate speed setting. Attachments for tubes, plates and flasks The VG 3.1 standard attachment for test tubes and similar tubes is included in the scope of delivery. In addition, LT Laborhandel carries for the Vortex 2 the VG 3.2 single-hand attachment, the VG 3.21 studded attachment and the VG 3.3 universal attachment with matching test tube holders (VG 3.30, VG 3.31 to VG 3.35). Using the VG 3.36 Erlenmeyer flask holder for the universal attachment, Erlenmeyer flasks of up to 250 ml can also be fixed on the Vortex 2 and shaken in continuous operation. This variety of attachments is the essential difference from the smaller lab dancer, which is built exclusively for individual small vessels. For microtitre plates, the VG 3.21 studded attachment is also available, which holds the plate in position during shaking without it slipping. Which attachment is suitable for a particular vessel size depends primarily on how the respective vessel can be fixed securely without tipping over during shaking. Typical applications With touch and continuous operation as well as several attachment options, the Vortex 2 covers a broader range than a pure short-term shaker. Switching between short individual operations and multi-hour continuous operation on the same unit saves reaching for a second shaker in practice: Brief mixing of individual tubes and test tubes via the touch function Continuous shaking of Erlenmeyer flasks of up to 250 ml in continuous operation Mixing samples in microtitre plates with the matching attachment Homogenising during longer incubation or reaction times Routine use in laboratories with changing vessel sizes at the same workstation Brief differentiation within the shaker family Anyone who only wants to briefly mix individual small tubes without changing attachments is often better served by the more compact lab dancer and its fixed speed of 2,800 rpm, especially where space is very limited. For gentle wobbling of larger, sensitive vessels such as culture flasks or gel chambers, the ROCKER 3D digital is the more suitable choice, as the wobbling motion is considerably gentler than the circular vortex motion. Technical details Type of movementcircular Shaking stroke4 mm Permissible shaking load (incl. attachment)0.4 kg Speed range500 to 2,500 rpm, continuously adjustable Speed displayScale 0 to 6 Operating modeTouch function or continuous operation Motor power input39 W Motor power output9 W Permissible duty cycle100 % Permissible ambient temperature range5 to 40 °C Permissible relative humidity80 % Dimensions (W x H x D)120 x 140 x 138 mm Weight3.9 kg Connection values220 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, device power consumption 60 W (other voltage variants 115 V / 100 V available) Protection classIP 21 (DIN EN 60529) Scope of delivery 1 x IKA Vortex 2 1 x VG 3.1 standard attachment Differences from the neighbouring series For even higher throughputs or additional features, LT Laborhandel also carries the Vortex 3 within the Vortex series as the next expansion stage. Anyone who only occasionally mixes a single tube and can do without attachments will find a simpler variant in the Vortex 1 with the same shaking stroke as the lab dancer. Both models differ from this product in motor power and scope of features, and it is worth taking a look at the exact data sheet before choosing. All orbital, wobble and rocking shakers from IKA can be found in the category Mixers, stirrers and shakers . Application, installation and maintenance The Vortex 2 is designed for 5 to 40 °C and a relative humidity of up to 80 percent, and protection class IP 21 offers basic protection against contact and coarse dust but no splash protection. At 3.9 kg and a footprint of 120 x 140 mm, the unit needs a fixed place on a stable laboratory bench, especially in continuous operation with heavier attachments such as the universal attachment together with an Erlenmeyer flask. The permissible shaking load of 0.4 kg including attachment should not be exceeded, otherwise the smoothness of the drive suffers. Between different samples, the attachments should be changed or cleaned to avoid cross-contamination. Changing an attachment itself requires no tools, so the unit can be converted without difficulty during a working day between tubes, microtitre plate and Erlenmeyer flask. At the end of its service life, the Vortex 2 as electrical equipment belongs in the separate collection of waste electrical equipment, not in household waste. Individual requirements & procurement service In addition to the standard attachments, LT Laborhandel carries further test tube inserts for the Vortex 2, the universal attachment including Erlenmeyer flask holder, as well as factory calibration certificates and IQ/OQ documents. Do you need a specific attachment for your vessel size, a spare part for an existing Vortex 2 or support in choosing between the Vortex 2 and the other IKA shakers? Through our procurement service , LT Laborhandel supports you with procurement and configuration. Frequently asked questions Is an attachment included in the scope of delivery?Yes, the VG 3.1 standard attachment for test tubes is included, and it holds common tubes and microtubes directly. Further attachments for plates or flasks are available separately. Can the Vortex 2 run continuously without anyone holding the vessel?Yes, in continuous operation mode the unit keeps running independently at the set speed, and the permissible duty cycle is 100 percent. How precisely can the speed be set?Continuously via a scale from 0 to 6 in the range of 500 to 2,500 rpm, and there is no digital display. Do Erlenmeyer flasks fit on the Vortex 2?With the separately available VG 3.3 universal attachment and the VG 3.36 Erlenmeyer flask holder, flasks of up to 250 ml can be accommodated. What distinguishes the Vortex 2 from the lab dancer?The Vortex 2 offers an adjustable speed of 500 to 2,500 rpm, genuine continuous operation and several attachment options, whereas the lab dancer runs at a fixed speed exclusively in touch operation for individual small vessels. Which mains voltages does the unit support?The standard version runs on 220 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz, and further voltage variants with 115 V or 100 V are available. Does an attachment have to be changed between touch and continuous operation?No, both operating modes run with the same mounted attachment, and switching is done solely via the operating mode switch on the unit.
IKA S 18 N - 10 G dispersing tool, Ø 10 mm, L004639
The IKA S 18 N - 10 G dispersing tool is a specialised, materials-science-optimised system component designed for precise rotor-stator dispersion in the millilitre range. Designed for use with the high-performance laboratory dispersers of the ULTRA-TURRAX T 18 series, this dispersing shaft enables highly efficient sample preparation of biological, pharmaceutical and chemical media. In applications such as the disruption of tissue cells, the emulsification of cosmetic formulations or the suspension of poorly soluble active ingredients in laboratory vessels, the precise fluid-dynamic geometry of this tool prevents thermal stress on 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 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 of up to 25,000 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 10 G generator is characterised by an optimised tooth geometry, which enables rapid primary fragmentation of fibrous, tough or cellular sample structures across an extended volume range. 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, and gently prevents 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 10 millimetres and a shaft length of 108 millimetres, enabling reliable operation in various reaction vessels and laboratory glassware. The working range covers a sample volume of 1 to 100 millilitres, allowing flexible sample series to be processed efficiently whilst minimising material wastage. Thanks to the shaft’s easy disassembly, the tool can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly after use, significantly speeding up the laboratory’s workflow and minimising downtime.

Individual requirements & accessories For the IKA S 18 N - 10 G dispersing tool to operate as intended, a drive unit from the IKA ULTRA-TURRAX T 18 series (e.g. T 18 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.

IKA NANOSTAR 7.5 digital stirrer, overhead stirrer, 5 L, 0025004356
Miniaturisation in stirring technology without any loss of performance In microchemical synthesis, parallel sample preparation and when working under very confined fume cupboards, the physical space required by laboratory instruments is a limiting factor. The IKA NANOSTAR 7.5 digital stirrer completely redefines the geometric limits of overhead stirrers. Despite its extreme compactness (the housing is barely larger than an apple), the unit delivers uncompromising mechanical performance. It is designed, in terms of both fluid dynamics and motor performance, to powerfully homogenise, disperse or dissolve media with a volume of up to 5 litres (based on the physical viscosity of H₂O). The device combines a minimal footprint with exceptional stability and lowers the centre of gravity in the laboratory setup, which significantly reduces the risk of tipping in complex stand configurations. Rheological control via brushless BLDC technology The breakdown of agglomerates or the uniform mixing of emulsions requires a high, continuous torque. The thermodynamic and kinetic heart of the NANOSTAR 7.5 digital is a state-of-the-art, brushless DC motor (BLDC technology). This wear-free and virtually maintenance-free drive generates a constant torque of 7.5 Ncm at the stirring shaft. The critical process advantage is this: if the rheological properties of the fluid change during the chemical reaction (for example, due to a drastic increase in viscosity during polymerisation or a drop in temperature), the integrated microprocessor electronically adjusts the power consumption in a fraction of a second. The set rotational speed, within the range of 50 to 2,000 revolutions per minute, is maintained at a precisely constant level, which prevents uncontrolled flow disruption and guarantees absolute reproducibility. The maximum dynamic viscosity of the medium may be up to 4,000 mPa·s. Smart ergonomics: hollow shaft and chemical-resistant sensors When changing mixing vessels or dealing with varying fill levels, the mixing element (propeller, anchor or dissolver disc) often needs to be adjusted axially in height. The NANOSTAR 7.5 digital is designed with a continuous hollow shaft. This engineering ingenuity allows the user to simply slide the shaft of the stirring tool through the motor housing. This completely eliminates the tedious and error-prone task of cutting expensive stainless steel stirring shafts to length. The drive is operated via a capacitive touch slider on a bright LED glass display. Unlike mechanical push-buttons or rotary potentiometers, the continuous real-glass front panel has no gaps whatsoever. It is extremely resistant to aggressive organic solvents, acid vapours and alkalis, and can be thoroughly and safely decontaminated as part of a GLP-compliant (Good Laboratory Practice) routine. Safety architecture and digital system integration For unattended continuous operation in automated analysis lines, an overhead stirrer must ensure maximum safety (Occupational Health and Safety). The housing of the NANOSTAR 7.5 digital is sealed to the high IP 54 protection rating. This effectively protects the sensitive power electronics and the motor block against the ingress of fine dust and splashing water from all directions. An electronic overload and overtemperature protection system automatically shuts down the motor immediately in the event of a physical blockage of the stirring mechanism, thereby preventing a motor fire. The rear of the unit is fitted with a USB interface. This not only enables future firmware updates to be installed effortlessly, but also allows tamper-proof control and comprehensive data documentation of torque trends via laboratory software solutions such as IKA labworldsoft. Technical details Max. stirring volume (H₂O): 5 litres Max. dynamic viscosity of the medium: 4,000 mPa·s Max. torque at the stirring shaft: 7.5 Ncm Speed range: 50 – 2,000 rpm (electronically continuously variable) Drive technology: Brushless DC motor (maintenance-free BLDC drive) Speed stability: Microprocessor-controlled readjustment in response to changes in viscosity Speed display: Digital LED display with glass front Control interface: Capacitive touch interface (touch slider) Hollow shaft: Yes (stirring tools can be inserted all the way through) Max. internal diameter of the hollow shaft: 5.5 mm Interfaces: USB (for PC control and firmware updates) Mounting type: Integrated tripod arm (arm diameter 13 mm) Motor protection: Electronic overload and overtemperature protection Dimensions (W x H x D): 53 x 147 x 130 mm Weight: 0.8 kg Protection class (to DIN EN 60529): IP 54 (protection against dust and water splashes from all directions) Permissible ambient temperature: 5 – 40 °C (at max. 80% relative humidity) Mains voltage / frequency: 100 – 240 V, 50/60 Hz Contents of delivery 1 x IKA NANOSTAR 7.5 digital stirrer (drive unit) 1 x chuck key 1 x USB A-B cable for digital data transfer 1 x Compact mains power supply (including country-specific adaptor) 1 x Comprehensive operating instructions (Important note: The essential mixing tool, a cross-sleeve and the floor stand are not included in the scope of delivery!) Individual requirements & accessories The NANOSTAR 7.5 digital is a drive motor only. To achieve optimal mixing in terms of fluid dynamics in your beaker or reaction vessel, you must use a stirring element precisely matched to the sample (propeller, centrifugal or anchor stirrer from the IKA R-series). To ensure the motor is secured to the stand arm in a completely safe and vibration-free manner, we also recommend a robust IKA plate stand in combination with the appropriate cross-sleeve. Our procurement service, which specialises in process engineering, will be happy to configure the physically optimal stirring setup for your laboratory.
IKA T 25 digital ULTRA-TURRAX disperser, 1 to 2,000 ml, 3,000 to 25,000 rpm, 0003725000
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.

IKA RET control-visc white Magnetic Stirrer with Balance, Enamelled Heating Plate, 20 L, 0005030000
Anyone wishing to monitor not only the temperature and speed but also the weighed mass during a stirring process would normally need to set up a separate weighing module alongside the stirrer. The IKA RET control-visc white (0005030000) integrates a weighing function with a range of 10 to 5,000 grams directly into the heated magnetic stirrer, combined with a technical enamel work surface, a TFT display and a connection for pH measurements. Integrated weighing function up to 5,000 grams The weighing function covers a range from 10 to 5,000 grams with an accuracy of ±(0.3 per cent plus 2 grams); the maximum permissible load for the weighing function is 5 kilograms. This allows, for example, the quantity of a substance added to be checked directly at the stirring station, without having to transfer the vessel to a separate balance in the meantime. Enamelled hotplate with high temperature accuracy The round heating surface, with a diameter of 135 millimetres, is made of technical enamel and covers a heating temperature range from 0 to 340 degrees Celsius (room temperature plus self-heating), with a setting accuracy of 0.1 Kelvin at the plate, which is finer than that of most other models in the C-MAG and RCT series, which typically operate with an accuracy of 1 to 5 Kelvin. The maximum medium temperature with a connected probe is 270 degrees Celsius, and the heating power is 600 watts. pH measurement and TFT display for process control A pH electrode can be connected via a BNC socket, allowing the pH value to be monitored directly on the unit whilst stirring. All values, including setpoints and actual values for speed and temperature, are shown on a TFT display; a graph function is also available for the graphical representation of process trends. A disengagement detection feature alerts the user if the stirring bar loses its connection to the magnetic field. Stirring up to 20 l with disengagement detection The speed range extends from 50 to 1,700 revolutions per minute, adjustable in increments of 10 revolutions per minute; stirring rods from 20 to 80 millimetres in length can be used. A disengagement detection system alerts the user when the stirring rod loses its magnetic coupling with the drive, particularly useful for viscous or inhomogeneous media, where an unnoticed stoppage of the stirring rod would otherwise only be detected at a late stage. The maximum load on the base is 25 kilograms. Typical applications With its integrated weighing function, pH connection and high temperature accuracy, the RET control-visc white is technically suitable for: Titrations and dosing processes with direct mass control at the stirring point Syntheses requiring a temperature accuracy of 0.1 Kelvin at the hotplate Combined pH and temperature monitoring during stirring Processes with documented progress via the integrated graph function Stirring processes up to 20 l with varying viscosity, monitored via viscosity trend measurement Selection guide: control-visc compared to other digital IKA stirrers Within the range of digital IKA stirrers, the control-visc model offers the most comprehensive range of additional features, whilst providing the same stirring capacity as the IKA Plate (RCT digital): ModelWeighing functionpH connectionMixing capacity (H2O)Footprint RET control-visc white (this unit)Yes, 10 to 5000 gYes, BNC20 lTechnical enamel, Ø 135 mm IKA Plate (RCT digital)NoNo20 lAluminium, Ø 135 mm C-MAG HS 7 controlnoNo20 lCeramic, 180 x 180 mm If you do not require either a weighing function or a pH connection, the IKA Plate (RCT digital) or the C-MAG HS 7 control offer a more cost-effective solution. The additional cost of the control-visc version is particularly worthwhile if mass and pH value are regularly part of the documented process. Differences from comparable IKA stirrers The IKA Plate (RCT digital) offers the same stirring capacity of 20 l, but does not include a weighing function or a pH connection and features an aluminium base instead of an enamelled one. The IKA C-MAG HS 7 control offers a higher heating power of 1,000 watts, also without a weighing function. For applications with a similar range of functions, but without the special white finish, IKA also offers the RET control-visc in the standard colour.

The temperature of the installation surface rises by up to 17 Kelvin during one hour of continuous stirring; this should be taken into account when using the weighing function in the immediate vicinity of the heating plate, as heat can affect the measurement accuracy of external precision scales. The supplied H 104 protective cover provides additional protection for the control panel against splashes. At the end of its service life, as an electrical appliance, the unit must not be disposed of with household waste but must be placed in the separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment; the manufacturer’s WEEE registration number is DE 66784213. Investment rationale: When the weighing function and pH connection are worthwhile The additional cost compared with the IKA Plate (RCT digital) or the C-MAG HS 7 control is particularly worthwhile if mass determination and pH measurement are regularly part of the same process and a separate weighing module or pH metre would otherwise have to be set up, wired and calibrated at the workstation. For standard applications without weighing or pH requirements, the additional equipment is usually not necessary; in such cases, the more affordable digital or control versions without a balance are sufficient. Individual requirements and procurement service Additional original accessories for the RET control-visc white are available on request, such as pH electrodes, support plates, reaction blocks, oil bath attachments and replacement protective covers. Through our procurement service, we also assist you with spare parts, calibrations and the standardisation of equipment across multiple workstations. Further information and contact details can be found at lt-laborhandel.com/service.

What interfaces are available for connection to a control system?The RET control-visc white features an RS232 interface as well as a micro-USB port, via which the unit can also be connected to a control system. Is a temperature sensor included in the scope of delivery?Yes, a PT 100.70 temperature sensor is included; additional PT 1000 sensors can be connected for other applications. How should the RET control-visc white be disposed of correctly?As an electrical appliance, it should be taken to a collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment rather than disposed of with household waste; the manufacturer’s WEEE registration number is listed in the section on ‘Application, Installation, Maintenance and Disposal’.
IKA ROCKER 3D digital Wobble Shaker, Tilt Angle 0 to 15°, 2 kg, 0004001000
Moving a gel too vigorously while destaining can ruin the result just as much as shaking it too briefly. The IKA ROCKER 3D digital does not move samples in a circular motion like a vortex mixer, but in a wobbling motion: the shaking platform tilts slowly in all directions, and the tilt angle can be set between 0 and 15 degrees. With a permissible shaking load of 2 kg and a speed that can be regulated between 5 and 80 revolutions per minute in 1 rpm steps, the unit is suitable for noticeably larger and more sensitive batches than the smaller orbital shakers lab dancer and Vortex 2 from the same IKA range. Gentle wobbling motion instead of vortexing The wobbling motion mixes more evenly and more gently than a fast circular motion. This is particularly noticeable in applications where the sample is not to be shaken through but only slowly wetted, for example when staining and destaining gels or when distributing cells in a culture dish. The tilt angle can be set continuously between 0 and 15 degrees, and the flatter the angle, the calmer the movement. Unlike vortexing, this type of movement produces hardly any turbulence at the liquid surface, which is an advantage in applications with sensitive cell aggregates or with the slow diffusion of staining solutions into a gel. Timer and continuous operation with LED display A 7-segment LED shows both the set speed and the timer. The time can be set between 1 second and 5,999 minutes, or alternatively the unit runs in pure continuous operation without automatic switch-off. For applications with a fixed incubation time, for example a defined staining duration, the timer can be set exactly to this value instead of keeping an eye on the clock manually. Both values, speed and remaining time, can be read on the same 7-segment LED, and switching between the displays is done using the controls on the unit. Stackable shaking tables for more capacity The shaking table of the ROCKER 3D digital can be stacked, and when stacked the height is only 30 mm per level. Anyone who wants to run several batches in parallel without placing several units side by side gains noticeable bench space this way. The permissible ambient temperature range of 4 to 50 °C also allows operation directly in the incubator, for example during a cell culture at constant temperature. At a dead weight of 2.3 kg and external dimensions of 280 x 185 x 330 mm, the unit can be moved between the laboratory bench and the incubator without great effort. Typical applications The gentle wobbling motion and the wide temperature range make the ROCKER 3D digital particularly interesting for biological and molecular biology applications in which mixing too vigorously would damage the sample: Homogeneous mixing in flasks, culture flasks, Petri dishes and tubes Growing cell cultures with even, gentle mixing DNA extractions with defined incubation times via the timer Even distribution of cells in culture vessels Staining and destaining of gels in molecular biology analysis Operation at 4 to 50 °C directly in the incubator or heating cabinet Brief differentiation within the shaker family For individual small tubes and short touch use, the ROCKER 3D digital is oversized, and the compact lab dancer with fixed speed or the Vortex 2 with adjustable speed and attachments are better suited. Both work with a circular instead of a wobbling motion and are designed for considerably lower shaking loads (0.1 kg for the lab dancer, 0.4 kg for the Vortex 2 compared with 2 kg for the ROCKER 3D digital). Anyone who regularly alternates between brief vortexing of individual tubes and gentle wobbling of larger batches has the right solution for every task at hand with both types of movement in the range.

Anyone who only needs slow, axis-bound rocking without tilt angle adjustment is often already well served by these two models. Within the 3D wobble shaker series itself, LT Laborhandel also carries the ROCKER 3D basic as an entry-level variant without timer and digital display. An overview of all shakers is offered by the category Mixers, stirrers and shakers. Application, installation and maintenance The wide temperature range of 4 to 50 °C allows operation both on the laboratory bench and directly in the cold room or incubator, and the permissible relative humidity is 80 percent. Protection class IP 21 offers basic protection against contact and coarse dust, and the unit is not designed for damp rooms. The non-slip rubber mat in the scope of delivery prevents vessels from slipping during the wobbling motion, and it should be cleaned regularly, especially after contact with staining solutions. Additional mats and matching test tube holders can be added if required, for example when round flasks rather than flat culture flasks are to be fixed in place. The shaking table itself needs no separate maintenance, and an occasional check that the mat is firmly seated is sufficient. At the end of its service life, the unit as electrical equipment belongs in the separate collection of waste electrical equipment and not in household waste. Individual requirements & procurement service For the ROCKER 3D digital, LT Laborhandel carries additional mats (RD 1, RD 2) and test tube holders (A 2, TB 1 to TB 4) for different vessel shapes, plus factory calibration certificates and IQ/OQ documents. Do you need a specific holder for your vessel size, a second rubber mat as a spare part or support in choosing between the IKA shakers? Through our procurement service , LT Laborhandel supports you with procurement and configuration. Frequently asked questions How strongly can the tilt angle be adjusted?Continuously between 0 and 15 degrees, and the flatter the angle, the calmer the wobbling motion. Can the unit be operated in an incubator?Yes, the permissible ambient temperature range extends from 4 to 50 °C, which covers typical incubator and cold room conditions. Can several units be stacked?The shaking table itself is stackable, and when stacked the height per level is 30 mm. How long can the timer be set for at most?Between 1 second and 5,999 minutes, or alternatively pure continuous operation without automatic switch-off is available. Is a mat included in the scope of delivery?Yes, a non-slip rubber mat is included, and it holds vessels in position during the wobbling motion. For other vessel shapes, additional mats and test tube holders can be procured separately. How does the unit differ from the Vortex 2?The Vortex 2 moves samples in a circular motion at up to 2,500 rpm, whereas the ROCKER 3D digital wobbles at a maximum of 80 rpm, considerably gentler for sensitive cell cultures and gels. For individual tubes with firm pressing, the compact lab dancer.
IKA C-MAG HS 10 digital Magnetic Stirrer with Heating, 15 l Stirring Capacity, Heating Plate up to 500 °C, 0004240400
The C-MAG HS 10 digital (MPN 0004240400) is the IKA magnetic stirrer with heating for large batches: on the ceramic work surface of 260 x 260 mm it stirs quantities up to 15 l (H2O) at a maximum load of 20 kg. The heating power is 1500 W, and the heating plate reaches up to 500 °C. Set and actual temperature appear simultaneously on an LCD. Anyone who wants to control the temperature directly in the medium connects the PT 1000 temperature probe supplied.Heating plate and temperature controlThe heating plate is made of glass ceramic and has very good chemical resistance. The heating temperature is set by rotary knob between 50 and 500 °C, and the setting accuracy of the heating plate temperature is 1 K. The heating rate is 5 K/min with 1 l of water. At maximum stirring, the work surface warms by 2 K (room temperature 22 °C, duration 1 h).With the PT 1000 in the batch, the device works as a medium controller. The control accuracy in the medium is ±0.5 K, the actual value display resolves to 0.1 K, and the setting accuracy of the medium temperature is 1 K. Heating plate temperature and medium temperature are two separate quantities: the 500 °C apply to the plate, and in the vessel the temperature depends on quantity, vessel and medium.Stirring drive for quantities up to 15 lThe motor drives stirring bars up to 80 mm in length. The speed is selected on a scale from 0 to 6 and covers 100 to 1500 rpm. Three IKAFLON stirring bars 20, 30 and 40 are included in the scope of delivery. The stirring capacity of 15 l (H2O) refers to one stirring position, and the device has exactly one.Protection against burns and liquidsA fixed safety circuit switches off at 550 °C and is independent of the set heating temperature. The Hot Top Indicator warns of a hot surface, and an error code appears in the event of a fault. The control panel is set apart from the heating plate so that liquid running out does not reach the controls. Three operating modes are available: Standard, Safe and adjustment lock.Classification within the C-MAG seriesThe HS 10 digital belongs to the C-MAG HS 4 / 7 / 10 digital series. You will find the smaller version with a 180 x 180 mm work surface as the C-MAG HS 7, the variant with stand accessories and ETS-D5 as the C-MAG HS 7 Package and a model with LCD display as the C-MAG HS 7 control. The device without the "digital" suffix is listed in the shop as the C-MAG HS 10. When choosing, compare the data on the respective product pages.Typical applicationsThe C-MAG HS 10 digital is suitable for these tasks:Heating and stirring large quantities of liquid up to 15 l (H2O) in one vesselBatches with temperature control in the medium, where a PT 1000 handles the controlWork where liquid may reach the plate, thanks to glass ceramic with very good chemical resistance and a control panel set apart from the plateStirring with stirring bars up to 80 mm in lengthBatches with fixed settings in the adjustment lock operating modeTechnical detailsDevice typeMagnetic stirrer with heating, 1 stirring positionMax. stirring capacity (H2O)15 lMaximum load20 kgSpeed range100 to 1500 rpm, scale 0 to 6Max. stirring bar length80 mmMotor power output1.5 WHeating power1500 WHeating temperature range (heating plate)50 to 500 °C, rotary knobSetting accuracy heating plate / medium1 K / 1 KControl accuracy in the medium (with PT 1000)±0.5 KTemperature displayLCD for set and actual valueTemperature probe connectionPT 1000Heating rate (1 l H2O)5 K/minSafety circuitfixed, 550 °CWork surfaceCeramic, 260 x 260 mmDimensions (W x H x D)300 x 105 x 415 mmWeight8.308 kgPermissible ambient temperature5 to 40 °CPermissible relative humidity80 %Protection class according to DIN EN 60529IP 21Voltage, frequency230 V, 50/60 HzPower consumption1520 WScope of deliveryC-MAG HS 10 digitalPT 1000.60 temperature probe, stainless steelIKAFLON 20 stirring barIKAFLON 30 stirring barIKAFLON 40 stirring barWarranty and procurement serviceThe device carries the IKA manufacturer's warranty of 2 years, extended to 3 years on registration at ika.com/register within 90 days of purchase.
