KL2: The versatile orbital shaker for optimal laboratory performance
The KL2 orbital shaker by Edmund Bühler embodies technological excellence, serving laboratories that seek flexibility, durability, and precision in their mixing and shaking processes. Designed as a "2 in 1" device, it ingeniously combines two shaking modes: the classic orbital motion and the linear reciprocating motion, allowing the user to adapt the shaking conditions to each specific protocol. This dual functionality ensures homogeneous and reproducible results, whether for cell culture, dissolving solids, or extraction processes in chemistry and biology.
Equipped with a 300 x 300 mm shaking platform, the KL2 offers ample space to accommodate various types of vessels, such as Erlenmeyer flasks or separating funnels. With a maximum load capacity of 2 kg, it allows for the simultaneous agitation of multiple samples, thus improving the efficiency of experimental workflows. Users benefit from great flexibility with the continuously adjustable speed range from 30 to 420 revolutions per minute. This level of control is essential for precisely tailoring the agitation intensity to the specific needs of the application.
The KL2 also features a built-in timer that can be set for up to 120 minutes, with the option of continuous operation for extended mixing processes without interruption. This is particularly useful for experiments requiring long treatment times or production environments. Its sturdy and reliable design is complemented by IP21-rated protection, ensuring safe operation under standard laboratory conditions. The KL2 operates efficiently within an ambient temperature range of 5°C to 50°C and tolerates relative humidity up to 85%, making it perfectly suited for demanding environments.
Its low heat emission (approximately 7 to 10 W) helps maintain the thermal integrity of sensitive samples, a key advantage for delicate biological applications. The compact design, with dimensions of 355 x 455 x 195 mm and a weight of 13.5 kg, allows for easy integration into laboratory benches, even in confined spaces.
The KL2 comes fully equipped and ready to use, including a rack system with three clamping strips and a non-slip rubber mat to ensure the secure positioning of samples during operation. Its user-friendly operation, combined with advanced performance, makes it the preferred choice for researchers, technicians, and operators looking for a reliable and efficient tool for daily laboratory work. Whether for scientific research or routine processes, the Edmund Bühler KL2 shaker stands out as an essential piece of equipment, combining precision, safety, and versatility in a compact and effective design.
