MS 1 Laboratory Shaker: A Versatile Solution for Controlled Agitation
The IKA MS 1 shaker is a reliable piece of equipment, specifically designed for laboratories requiring precise and stable mixing of liquids in various containers. Its uniform orbital motion ensures thorough mixing while preventing splashing or cross-contamination. The MS 1 can be used with test tubes, flasks, Petri dishes, and microtitration plates, making it particularly well-suited for biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical research laboratories.
The device is equipped with a variable-speed DC motor, offering an operational range from 200 to 2500 revolutions per minute (rpm). An integrated electronic control system maintains a constant speed, even when the load on the platform increases. This guarantees reproducible results, without interruption or undesirable fluctuations.
The shaker can be operated in continuous mode for long-term use or in touch mode, which activates shaking only when pressure is applied to the platform. This "touch" function is ideal for quick or occasional procedures, minimizing wear on the device. The MS 1’s signature toggle switch allows for easy switching between operation modes.
With a maximum load capacity of 0.5 kg, the MS 1 accommodates a wide variety of container types. It supports several interchangeable platforms (sold separately) to adapt to experimental needs: a standard test tube holder, a plate for microtitration wells, inserts for test tubes of various diameters, and more. These accessories are tool-free and easy to mount or remove, allowing for rapid changes between configurations.
The unit’s robust construction, non-slip feet, and thermal overload protection ensure maximum operational safety. The well-ventilated housing remains stable even after extended use. An intuitive interface featuring a control knob, toggle switch, and visual speed scale allows users to handle operations with confidence.
Easy to clean, the MS 1 requires no special maintenance. Its compatibility with standard laboratory cleaning protocols makes it a hygienic, durable, and efficient tool. It fits seamlessly into any lab setting, whether for routine tasks or more specialized procedures.
