MICROSTAR 15 control: compact and powerful high-head stirrer for optimal control
The MICROSTAR 15 control from IKA stands out as a high-head agitator, integrating state-of-the-art technology in an extremely compact design. Specially designed for modern laboratory environments, this device is ideal for applications requiring precise control of speed and mixing parameters. Its brushless DC motor offers high energy efficiency and remarkable durability, reducing maintenance requirements and increasing equipment reliability over time.
One of the main features of this model is its ability to maintain a constant speed, even when the viscosity of the mixed liquid varies. Thanks to its electronic regulator, the MICROSTAR 15 control automatically adjusts the power output to ensure perfect homogeneity, which is crucial for sensitive reactions or complex media. Its continuously adjustable speed range from 30 to 1,000 revolutions per minute allows for great flexibility, making it suitable for both delicate tasks and more vigorous agitation.
The device is equipped with a fast, easy-to-read LCD display, protected by tempered glass that offers excellent resistance to chemicals and scratches. This display shows all essential information at a glance, including speed, temperature, torque and timer settings. The sensitive touchscreen interface makes configuration easy and extends the service life of the device by minimising mechanical wear on traditional controls.
The MICROSTAR 15 control also incorporates advanced safety features, such as vibration sensors that automatically stop the process if the permissible thresholds are exceeded. A key lock system prevents accidental changes to settings during use, ensuring safe operation. The device is also compatible with an external PT1000 temperature sensor for precise control of thermal conditions, with a measuring range from -10 to 350 °C.
With its cast aluminium and thermoplastic polymer housing, the MICROSTAR 15 control combines robustness and chemical resistance with light weight and easy handling. Its USB connectivity allows parameters to be documented via the Labworldsoft software and firmware updates to be carried out, ensuring compatibility with future technological developments.
This compact yet powerful stirrer is designed to handle volumes of up to 10 litres of water and viscosities of up to 8,000 mPas, offering reliable performance even in demanding applications. Its ergonomic design and ease of use make it an indispensable ally in research laboratories, industrial environments and educational establishments.
