Magnetic stirrer 1 IKA TWISTER
The IKA TWISTER is a versatile and compact stirring and twisting device with a magnetic drive. The IKA TWISTER SET 1 includes one drive. In the standard version, the IKA TWISTER is a powerful single-position magnetic stirrer for stirring up to 5 liters with a maximum speed of 3000 rpm and viscosities up to 500 mPa s. The impressive stirring performance ensures strong twisting-like effects and excellent mixing results in a very short time.
By connecting additional IKA TWISTER stirring devices, the IKA TWISTER can be expanded to a multi-position magnetic stirrer with up to 30 stirring positions.* The stirring positions can be controlled individually, Universal accessories With the TW.IX multi-position stirring attachment, the drive transforms into a magnetic stirrer with 9 stirring positions for efficient stirring of small sample vessels (8-60 ml). The TW.VX shaker attachment transforms the universal magnetic drive into a fast-rotating vortex or orbital shaker. The innovative control concept of the IKA TWISTER provides a new way of interacting between the user and the laboratory instrument.
With the intuitive and chemically resistant 360° LED glass display, all information is intuitively conveyed without any alphanumeric display. During operation, the speed or power required for stirring can be displayed. For example, changes in viscosity in percent can be observed and displayed. Mixing can be started at the push of a button or (thanks to the integrated beaker recognition) by placing or touching the beaker. The reverse function changes the direction of rotation after certain time intervals. This leads to a significant improvement in the mixing result, especially when working with samples that are difficult to mix. Reliable and safe The high protection class IP 66 allows for operation in harsh conditions. The IKA TWISTER can therefore be washed under the tap, for example, or operated in an incubator at temperatures up to 40 °C. The compact and innovative design has already received the Reddot Award 2022. It is particularly suitable for use in laboratories with limited space. *Depending on the number of devices, a different power supply may be required.
