IKA's EUROSTAR 100 control: a powerful and versatile agitator for the laboratory
The EUROSTAR 100 control from IKA is a high-end laboratory stirrer designed to meet the needs of professionals who handle large volumes and samples of varying viscosity. With a mixing capacity of up to 100 litres of water and a maximum viscosity of 70,000 mPas, this device is the solution of choice for research laboratories, industrial environments and demanding analytical applications.
Equipped with a brushless DC motor, the EUROSTAR 100 control combines power and reliability while ensuring quiet operation. Its microprocessor-based control system automatically adjusts the rotation speed to maintain optimal consistency, even when the resistance of the mixture varies. This feature ensures perfect homogeneity of the solutions prepared, while reducing the risk of human error and optimising the yield of experimental processes.
The device is equipped with a removable wireless controller, allowing the user to operate the stirrer remotely. This innovation improves working ergonomics and safety, especially when handling potentially hazardous substances. The multilingual TFT display shows all essential parameters in real time, such as speed, torque, direction of rotation, temperature and time remaining, providing an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use.
One of the notable features of the EUROSTAR 100 control is its ability to measure and display torque variations. This function is particularly useful for quickly detecting changes in sample viscosity, allowing the operator to react immediately. In addition, the ability to reverse the direction of rotation and program mixing cycles in interval mode offers increased flexibility for complex protocols requiring alternating phases.
For applications requiring high thermal accuracy, the stirrer is available with an external H 67.60 stainless steel temperature sensor. This sensor allows the temperature of the samples to be monitored and regulated in a range from -10 to +350 °C with a resolution of 0.1 K and an accuracy of ±0.5 K. This performance guarantees perfectly controlled experimental conditions, which are essential for sensitive protocols.
Connectivity is also a strong point of this model. Thanks to the integrated RS 232 and USB interfaces, all mixing data can be programmed, controlled and documented from a computer. This compatibility facilitates the integration of the EUROSTAR 100 control into laboratory management systems and meets the traceability requirements of regulated environments.
Designed with robust materials such as a coated aluminium housing and thermoplastic polymers, the EUROSTAR 100 control can withstand the physical and chemical stresses of modern laboratories. Compact and ergonomic, it can be easily adapted to any workspace thanks to its extension arm mounting.
User and equipment safety is ensured by integrated protection circuits that trigger an automatic shutdown in the event of overload, blockage or excessive parameter variation. All these features make the EUROSTAR 100 control an indispensable solution for professionals seeking precision, reliability and ease of use on a daily basis.
