IKA's digital Loopster: a high-performance digital rotator for laboratory mixing
The IKA Loopster digital is a versatile device for mixing and homogenising liquid or powder samples in tubes up to 50 ml. It is particularly suitable for biological applications such as handling blood samples, providing gentle agitation that preserves the integrity of sensitive components. Its powerful and quiet motor ensures constant and reliable rotation over a wide speed range from 5 to 80 rpm, allowing precise adaptation to experimental requirements.
Thanks to its membrane control panel, the Loopster digital is intuitive and quick to use. The user can freely adjust the rotation angle between 0 and 90 degrees, which broadens the device's range of applications. Whether for processes requiring gentle rotation or more dynamic mixing, this equipment ensures consistent efficiency while limiting the risk of foam formation or sedimentation.
The digital Loopster is designed to operate in continuous mode or via a programmable timer ranging from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes, offering great flexibility for short or extended protocols. Its segmented LED display shows the speed and time remaining in real time, allowing easy monitoring of the parameters.
Its robust and compact design, combined with removable accessories, facilitates integration into incubators at temperatures between 4 and 50°C. The removable parts also allow for quick and efficient cleaning, reducing the risk of cross-contamination when handling sensitive samples.
The digital Loopster also features safety functions such as error code display and IP 21-compliant moisture protection. It is suitable for continuous use at 100% capacity, ensuring high reliability even in demanding working environments.
This compact and lightweight device, weighing only 3 kg, fits easily on any laboratory bench. Powered by a wide range of voltages from 100 to 240 V and operating at a frequency of 50/60 Hz, it is compatible with many electrical installations.
The IKA digital Loopster stands out for its ability to meet the varied needs of biology, chemistry and medical analysis laboratories, ensuring homogeneous, reproducible and safe mixing of samples.
