KS 260 control NOL: compact and powerful orbital shaker for optimal sample mixing in the laboratory
The KS 260 control NOL from IKA is an orbital shaker designed to provide homogeneous and consistent mixing of samples, meeting the needs of even the most demanding laboratories. Its compact design and flat profile allow for easy integration on benches, even when workspace is limited. The 320 x 320 mm platform can accommodate containers of various shapes and sizes, making this device extremely versatile and ideal for a wide range of applications in biology, chemistry and environmental analysis.
Equipped with a powerful yet quiet motor, the device allows precise speed adjustment between 10 and 500 rpm, offering the flexibility needed to process delicate samples requiring slow movement as well as more dynamic mixing for denser solutions. The 10 mm orbital movement ensures constant and uniform agitation, promoting better aeration of samples, which is particularly important for cell cultures and microbiological applications.
The intuitive user interface features a clear LED display for easy reading and setting of speed and time. The user can choose between continuous operation for prolonged mixing or program the timer up to 99 hours and 59 minutes for controlled work cycles.
The integration of an RS 232 interface offers the option of remote control and connection to computerised systems via the labworldsoft® software, ensuring perfect traceability and reproducibility of experiments. This feature is particularly useful in automated laboratories or when the device is used in environments requiring centralised instrument supervision.
The KS 260 control NOL withstands demanding laboratory conditions with an ambient temperature range of 5 to 50 °C and a permissible relative humidity of up to 80%. Its IP 21 protection rating makes it safe for use in areas where accidental splashing may occur. Thanks to its weight of 8.8 kg and compact dimensions of 360 x 98 x 420 mm, it can be easily moved and repositioned according to laboratory requirements.
The versatility of the KS 260 control NOL is enhanced by the option of adding a wide range of accessories, sold separately, allowing the platform to be adapted to almost any type of container, whether Erlenmeyer flasks, test tubes or culture boxes. This makes it an essential tool for scientists who want a reliable, accurate and versatile device.
The KS 260 control NOL stands out as a complete solution for laboratories seeking to improve the efficiency and quality of their shaking processes. With its combination of reliable performance, flexibility of use and state-of-the-art connectivity, it represents an ideal investment for research or production environments requiring a high level of precision and control.
