IKA's T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX: a powerful and versatile homogeniser
The T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX from IKA is specially designed to meet the requirements of modern laboratories for processing liquid samples. This compact and robust device can be used for dispersion, emulsification and disintegration operations on volumes between 1 ml and 1.5 litres. Thanks to its electronic control technology, it guarantees continuous speed regulation, enabling precise and homogeneous sample processing, even when small-diameter rotors are used.
Its powerful motor, with an input power of 500 W and an output power of 300 W, provides the energy required to process fluids with a viscosity of up to 5000 mPas. The rotation speed, ranging from 3,000 to 25,000 rpm, offers exceptional flexibility for a variety of applications, from processing aqueous solutions to more viscous mixtures. The integrated LED display allows immediate and reliable speed reading, facilitating process monitoring and reproducibility.
The device is equipped with an electronic overload protection system and error code display, ensuring safe operation and a long service life. The stainless steel dispersion elements are easily removable and can be cleaned quickly, which is essential to prevent cross-contamination. In addition, disposable plastic dispersion elements, available in two sizes, offer a practical solution for single-use applications.
With a noise level of only 75 dB(A) without the dispersion element, the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX ensures a pleasant working environment. Its ergonomic design and compact dimensions (87 x 271 x 106 mm) make it easy to handle and integrate into any workspace. It is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of 5 °C to 40 °C, with a maximum relative humidity of 80%.
Versatile and precise, the T 18 digital ULTRA-TURRAX is the ideal choice for research laboratories, academic institutions and the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries requiring reliable and reproducible sample processing.
