IKA KMO 3 basic: an innovative magnetic stirrer for the laboratory
The KMO 3 basic from IKA is a magnetic stirrer that combines compactness, elegance and performance to meet the demands of research and analysis environments. Designed without a heating function, it is particularly suitable for applications requiring only efficient and homogeneous stirring of liquids while maintaining their temperature. Its award-winning design incorporates a durable, easy-to-clean glass surface, offering a modern look and increased robustness in the face of laboratory stresses.
The device is equipped with a clear white LED display that ensures optimal reading of speed parameters, even in low light conditions. Using touch-sensitive keys, the user can precisely set the rotation speed, which ranges from 10 to 1500 rpm, with an accuracy of 10 rpm. The automatic reverse rotation function allows for even more homogeneous mixing, which is particularly useful for complex or viscous solutions.
The KMO 3 basic also features an illuminated mixing plate with a maximum light intensity of 15,000 lux. This feature ensures perfect visibility of the sample during mixing. In addition, it has a lock button that prevents accidental changes to the settings during use, ensuring increased safety in experimental protocols.
Thanks to its integrated USB interface, the KMO 3 basic can be connected to Labworldsoft software for easy control and automation. This connectivity also allows firmware updates, ensuring the device's scalability and compatibility with new software features.
With a maximum capacity of 5 litres of water per stirring position and a load capacity of 10 kg, this stirrer meets the needs of a wide range of applications in chemistry, biology and materials science. Compact and lightweight, it fits easily on crowded benches and can be used in ambient conditions between 5 and 40°C.
The KMO 3 basic thus offers a reliable and precise solution for laboratories looking for a high-performance, ergonomic device that also benefits from optimised energy consumption and quiet operation.
