IKA's KS 3000 ic control, a high-precision shaker-incubator
The KS 3000 ic control from IKA is a benchtop incubator shaker that stands out for its innovative design and ability to maintain optimal experimental conditions completely autonomously. Specially designed for prolonged use, it allows users to conduct experiments in a temperature-controlled environment while ensuring homogeneous and regular mixing of samples. Its 50-litre internal chamber, combined with a temperature range of 12 to 80 °C, guarantees stable and reproducible performance even during complex protocols.
The device is equipped with a large LED display that facilitates precise adjustments of the rotation speed and stirring time. Thanks to its powerful electronic control and integrated PID controller, the KS 3000 ic control ensures perfect temperature homogeneity. Two PT 1000 temperature sensors enable precise monitoring and adjustment, which is particularly crucial for sensitive applications.
Safety has been at the heart of the design of this equipment. The device stops automatically if the lid is lifted or if an imbalance is detected, minimising risks to the user and the integrity of the samples. In addition, the controls are coated with an antimicrobial coating to limit bacterial contamination. The device also features an electronic timer that can be set for up to 999 hours, allowing for continuous or programmed operation according to laboratory requirements.
The KS 3000 ic control is compatible with labworldsoft®software for controlling and documenting all its functions, facilitating traceability and process automation. The device's ease of use and intuitive design meet the requirements of modern research environments.
Compact yet robust, this shaker-incubator offers remarkable flexibility of use thanks to its multiple interfaces (USB and RS 232) and the possibility of connecting an external cooling unit for applications requiring active cooling. Its construction from durable materials, such as powder-coated metal for the chassis and PMMA for the cover, ensures a long service life and high reliability under intensive conditions.
