KS 3000 i control software – High-precision incubator shaker
The KS 3000 i control from IKA is a high-performance incubator shaker designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories for precise temperature control and shaking. This compact device combines orbital shaking technology with sophisticated temperature control to provide the uniform and stable conditions essential for biological and chemical experiments. With its 20 mm orbital movement, it ensures gentle and efficient agitation, making it ideal for applications requiring the maintenance of cell cultures or sensitive solutions.
Temperature control is provided by an integrated PID system that uses two PT 1000 temperature sensors to ensure optimum accuracy. This allows the user to achieve exemplary thermal homogeneity, which is essential for reproducible results. The KS 3000 i control offers a temperature range from ambient temperature +5 °C to 80 °C, with an adjustment accuracy of 0.1 K and remarkable thermal stability of up to ±0.05 K. This performance makes it particularly suitable for protocols requiring a strictly controlled environment.
The intuitive user interface consists of a large LED display showing speed and time settings. The speed is adjustable from 10 to 500 rpm in 1 rpm increments, allowing perfect adaptation to the specific requirements of each experiment. The stirring time can be programmed from 1 second to 59,940 minutes, with a continuous operating mode for prolonged processes. Safety is also a priority: the device stops automatically if the lid is opened, and it has a collection tray with a drain hose for easy maintenance.
The KS 3000 i control is compatible with labworldsoft®software, which allows complete control and documentation of all functions via a computer. Its USB and RS232 connectivity facilitates integration into automated systems, further enhancing its versatility. Manufactured from high-quality materials, it combines robustness and ergonomic design for comfortable everyday use.
The KS 3000 i control is a reliable and high-performance solution for laboratories looking to optimise their incubation and shaking processes while ensuring maximum safety and ease of use.
