IKA offers the perfect lab shaker for mixing and shaking tasks. In addition to the tried and tested orbital shakers and horizontal shakers, the innovative incubator shaker KS 4000 is gaining popularity in laboratories. Its precise temperature control makes the incubator shaker a reliable asset in every lab. IKA products boast speeds of up to 3,000 revolutions per minute during continuous operations. A digital display, timer function, and controlling options via the lab software Labworldsoft ensure optimal working conditions. Integrated end point positioning allows for automated sampling. An extensive array of attachments enables the use of vessels in every shape and size. Functionality, safety, and longevity are the main goals in the development of IKA lab shakers.
